Hi, if it's a charcol one you are looking at then I recommend the Rockford foldaway bbq from B&Q.  It's really easy to set up, takes less than a minute and is lightweight too.

If you are looking for a gas bbq, we use the Cadac Safari Chef.  Again really easy to setup and lightweight.

I've just bought this one and it's awesome.

Weber Go Anywhere



It will last a lifetime, excellent warranty and it's a Weber. £42.00

Cooks well, can be used to grill of cook with the lid on. Easy to clean as well.

To make it easier I lay a sheet of tinfoil on the bottom to catch any crud that falls in it, let it cool down and wipe it all down. Done and packed in 5 mins.

Can't beat a Weber Go Anywhere BBQ IMHO for charcoal.

When using it on an aluminium roll up table, I always put a piece of wood underneath to prevent the plastic joints from melting.

We have one of these, bought at Woolies

http://www.hyperoutlet.com/product_info.php?products_id=50035&ID=308

Amazon do them but they're out of stock. It'll cook by direct and indirect heat and we have cooked a home made pizza (the dough made in the caravn, by hand!) on a tray on it, using it as an oven. Tastiest pizza I've ever had (she said, modestly!) Mr Squirrel swears by this and he's a veritable barbe  man!

If gas is your thing Cadac all the way, cooks great, lots of choice's on the plates used, simple to store, easy to use and best of all, a doddle to clean

For me its cadac for gas and Weber for charcoal, however I prefer the larger 'Easy Chef' to the 'Safari chef 'but thats just a personal preferance if you are going into the southern half of france then charcoal bbq's can become a problem

Does it ever get better than spare ribs and chops straight off the BBQ

B&Q Rockford folding BBQ is SH*T quality. And it costs 20-30 GBP depending if B&Q have a sale or not!

Nip down to Lidl - I bought one of their BBQs costing only £4.88! It is of good build, certainly no worse than the B&Q one. You can re-use the box it comes with (small size) to transport it.

If it isn't big enough then buy two - will cost less than a tenner!
