Does anyone know if you can get a largish portable gas BBQ that takes lava stones?

I don't need a griddle etc. but would like to get a BBQ with that 'authentic' BBQ type of flavour that the stones give food.

Unless, that is, you can add lava sones to a Cadac easy chef or similar?

Cheers!

my passing observation (may be wrong) is that less and less BBQ's use stones now. is it more efficient to have the heat plate type rather than the stones? do the stones effect the flavour much? I find not cleaning it is the best way to maintain the BBQ taste.

You can buy the stones seperately and yes they do make a big difference to flavour. Got the impression that they were no longer supplied to keep down the cost.

Cannot see it working on a caddac tho have only used mine recently for the 1st time.

We have this which came with lava stones. They sit on a grill just above the gas jets. It is also available in a delux version whih is larger and has an extra tier for keeping food warm.

aww grizgut - I hate it when they do that - part of the fun of camping for me is to have a coal BBQ and then use the BBQ as a fire pit.

for what its worth, I use lava rocks on my home BBQ ( certainly not portable as its a four burner thingy on a hardwood cart).

The one from outdoor world looks great for £23.99
