Bonnington Plastics Kingfisher OUTBBQ2 Portable Barrel BBQ

Product Information

The legs on the barbecue completely fold down for storage or transportation but when it’s set up, it has a condiment basket and a side shelf. So, it's perfect if you've got a line of people waiting to be served. It's certainly petite, measuring just 29cm x 36cm x 36.5cm and having a cooking area of 23cm x 34cm. This means it's the definition of portable, but it's probably not great if you're cooking for a large, hungry group. This one is best for smaller groups of around four people or less. If you’re using a charcoal BBQ, leave plenty of space between the food you’re barbecuing on the grill so oxygen can still reach the coals. You’ll need a power source close by to use the Cuisinart entertaining grill, but we think it’s ideal for caravan trips, or even indoor/outdoor use at home. There’s a handy hole near the base where excess oil can be drained away into a removable tray, or you can plug it to keep any cooking juices or sauces on the grill.

There’s much to like about this nifty portable BBQ, even if it’s easily mistaken for a vanity case or accordion. It has similar dimensions to your average disposable BBQ but will provide a lot more heat, durability and general use. This super portable barbecue weighs in at 3.3kg, so it’s lightweight enough for a day out or trip away. Another downside is the hidden cost of the lump wood charcoal you need to fire this BBQ up. Lumpwood charcoal can be a bit more expensive than briquettes, and you need to use it every time. It may be small in size, but the cooking surface is big enough for six burgers so you can cook for a small family in one go. I didn't want the firebox to "sit" on the barrel surface itself so added internal ribs using 1" and 3/4" metal strips. These were rivetted onto the barrel body.In terms of its actual cooking ability, this machine promises 100% even heat distribution and uses TRU-Infrared Cooking Technology to give up to 50 per cent juicer food while using up to 30 per cent less gas. You can't argue with that, can you? Charcoal – No need to transport a gas canister for this BBQ. Simple charcoal briquettes will give you the heat and authentic BBQ taste that you’re after. Pros: low price for a gas barbecue, even heat coverage, easy to set up with clear instructions, cooks well It's pretty time efficient, too. You’ll need to wait at least five minutes for the grill to come up to temperature, but that’s nothing compared to how long it takes for a charcoal grill to be ready.

For a great budget-friendly option, try this portable BBQ from Argos Home, which weighs just 2kg (one of the lightest options you'll find).But because they’re much closer to the ground, you should look for surfaces that won’t burn or suffer from heat damage. Dry grass and anything plastic, for example, should be avoided at all costs. At just 4kg, this charcoal barbecue is very light. And a lot of that weight will be down to its battery-powered fan that helps to reduce smoke and regulate the temperature of your grill.
