I want to get a charcoal bbq to take camping with us.

Quite a few of my friends have Smokey Joe's which although lovely are pretty expensive.

I know that I can get cheaper ones in a similar style (with the three little legs and a lid) but I also wondered about the bucket style ones - Sainsburys have some in for just £10 at the moment.

Or should I go with disposable ones? Or something completely different?

IMHO, if one likes BBQing using charcoal, then one would appreciate the build quality of Weber BBQs.

if you get a bucket one please dont stand it on the grass it burns the grass ,even on bricks you can see a oblong line where the heat was close enough to scorch it.
personally i hate them theres nothing worse than someone elses smoke in your tent or worse you sitting eating a sarnie when the smoke smells of lovely burgers

just replied to another post re bbq we use one of these great for 2 people I line mine with foil put in the coals, once used let it go cold and just remove foil so easy to keep clean, I love it. The food cooks nice & even too!! By the way mine is on legs and has never scorched the  grass. BBQ is a part of camping and the great outdoors.

Please don't go for disposable, think where they all end up! And it is far more cost effective to get one you don't throw in a bin.

Thanks. I don't like the idea of disposal ones for the same reason Jafa.

I think I will go for a kettle one - just don't think I can stretch to a Smokey Joe so will need to look for a cheaper alternative.

A smokey joe would be a long term investment as if looked after will outlast cheaper versions and give u a better BBQ experience
