try the fold flat bbq from the "i want one of those" website at £24.99 its a great buy. i bought a fold flat bbq from hombease but they aren't making them this year, but this looks the closest, a great space saver.

Marco Pierre White has brought out a BBQ, and I shall check that out to see if it is any good.

Anthony Worral Thomson''s BBQ is absolutely rubbish. I bought one last year, thinking it would be ideal for when I was on my own. After2 BBQs it was buckled and on it's last legs or so I thought. I cleaned it up and left it by the re-cycling bins, after a short time it was gone!
Good luck to whoever took it, as far as I'm concerned it was rubbish. Back to my Grilletto still brilliant.

We have a silver barrel BBQ which is the best thing we've ever bought!!! Got it for the bargain price of £7.99 when Woolies was closing down. Think Amazon have a similar one for about £35.
I have done whole chickens and joints of pork in there and also Yorkshire puds, so we can now have a full Sunday roast when we go camping!!!

THIS ONE got an excellent review in a sunday paper recently - it was the second cheapest they tested, but gave the second best results (the one that wone overall cost about £100).

I might be in the market for a cheap barbeque soon - this is the one I'm going for...

I seem to recall someone on another thread,singing the praises of that B&Q Vegas bbq...

Has anyone come across the portable,lidded bbq that's in Argos?..it's down to £15 now but just wondered if it was any good?

(Sorry,don't know how to put a "This one" type link in..I did paste it in but the address was several lines long! )

We bought a Weber Go-Anywhere last year for £40 and I love it. Cooks fast and is easy to clean and transport. The only thing I would say is that even though it has legs, we still burnt the grass beneath it on the first use, so I now make sure it's supported on blocks or something to avoid scorching.

I'll second that, we used our Go-Anywhere on an aluminium topped cooker support, the Weber got that hot underneath that the aluminium top buckled (oops).

I've decided to buy one of these.

Unlike most other portable barbecues it has decent height adjustability. Most important if you're as fussy about your barbecueing as I am!

Bought a cheapy from ebuy b4 we left. 4 small legs fold out from under neath so as not to burn the table. Has an area of almost 2 sq ft. Side peices slot in the main box for side wind and to lay the grill on. A folded sheet of foil under the charcoal and off you go. Simoples, 15 quid I think.

Clas Ohlson - Move-It BBQ

This seems to get a lot of praise, will be back in stock before end of May apparently.

Personally, I use a Firepit/BBQ and throw a griddle on top.

Lucio Folding Portable Barbecue Fire Bowl

Once the BBQ is finished, add some wood to the coals, instant camp fire with no fuss.

I will be getting the Move-It BBQ to do some roasting.

I've just bought a folding Gelert one from Amazon, it's about the size of a disposable foil tray type. Got it for hot dogs etc for picnics. Says it's for backpackers but too heavy I think. Would do for campers though. And it was only a tenner and folds to the size of a paperback.

We also have the gelert folding one. Only issue I had with it was that I overloaded it with briquettes and it was just a bit too hot. It doesn't need as much as you think!
