Hi I'm new to the forum so not sure if this has been asked before but has anyone bought 1 of these bbq's and what do you think of them?

I'm thinking of getting 1 for our next camping trip as I'm getting fed up with those disposable one's. Thanks alot for any advice.

I have discovered to my cost that unless the grill(s) once used can be packed INSIDE the BBQ, then one will have to find a way to pack that grill without making anything else greasy.

Therefore, check to make sure this BBQ allows the used grill to be packed inside. It looks like the grill does fit inside when closed, however, please check to avoid disappointment.

For something bulkier but built to last, try the Weber Go Anywhere or the Smokey Joe. I swear by my Go Anywhere grill, along with a few others on here.

 I have a Son of Hibachi, haven't used it yet, but it does look the business.

 I bought my brother a Grillput with firepit a few years ago and he swears by it. Line the pit with foil before use then when you're done foil and coals go in the bin leaving the pit clean. It all folds away to practicaly nothing so is suitable for backpacking.

The cooking area is only about a foot square so not huge, but ample for two people.

i've got one and never had a problem with it

yep the grill folds inside

takes very little room up as well

 I have the brief case style bbq which you could consider .It has large cooking area ,stable and is compact when folded away

Thanks for the replies.

I ended up buying the folding notebook bbq off ebay. Tried it out for the 1st time today and it worked a treat. Very happy with my choice. I'd recommend them.

Go Outdoors had 2 versions last time I went in.  The Outwell version and another brand that I hadn't heard of. 

Although I usually go for Outwell I opted for the non-Outwell one because it was slightly bigger and also the metal felt a bit more sturdy.  Both were £23

We used it 3 nights running in the Lakes and burnt all sorts of stuff in it after the bbq.  It looked warped when it was hot, but by the time it cooled it was almost back to its original shape and went back in its box OK. 

I think rochford6 may have been unlucky, or had an inferior brand (or maybe put the coals out with water so it stuck in its warped shape????)
