...know someone that's had a weber for nearly 20 years and have never had a problem with it!) * Side Coal holders - so you can push the coal to the side and cook by an "indirect" method, i.e. a chicken in the middle.

Advantages: No mess, no more lighter fluid, easy to use
Disadvantages: a bit dearer than normal charcoal but well worth it.

...again - untill I discovered Homebase instant lighting charcoal. Getting Dirty I suppose the main problem with a traditional bbq is the fact that when you come to set it up ready to light, you have to start stacking charcoal up neatly with strategically placed fire lighters or you have to pour lighter fluid all over the place and I think this tastes on the food. So all this normally results in you getting covered in black charcoal dust and ...
...I happened to be in Homebase and noticed their instant light charcoal. Loads of other people do it also but it seems to come in the same size packs and cost the same where ever you buy it. Basically it is a normal looking bag of charcoal but has four further bags inside all filled with charcoal. How Does It Work Then? All you have to do when you come to light your bbq is take one of the bags out and lay it in your bbq, you can use two if ... Read review

Advantages: nice design, easy to move, large grill, very robust and well made
Disadvantages: can't vary the height of the grill

I have one of these BBQ's and it's served us well over the years. I am a firm believer that a successful BBQ experience is 75% down to the 'chef' and 25% on the design/shape/performance of the BBQ. Lets face it, you're only heating food on a grill above hot coals - you get the same result regardless of how much the BBQ cost, what it looks like, who made it etc. If you're a die hard BBQer then I suspect you'll have/need a gas BBQ as they do produce ...
...fun of a BBQ is lighting the fire, waiting for the coals to burn and even experimenting with different woods and coals to get different flavoured smoke into your food. So for me, a coal BBQ wins. This particular BBQ is a nice design, shape and size and has been the benchmark for all BBQ's for years. It is easy to move around due to the wheels and side handles. You can even move it when it's hot if you're careful because the handles don't get hot. ... Read review

Advantages: Packaging from 100% well - managed forests

...got five of them from Asda this is the product I will now review. CONSTRUCTION They are, like most disposable BBQ's, rectangular in shape and 12" X 10" in size, they are constucted from foil and make up tray which is the BBQ base this contains the charcoal and some lighting paper, then there is a metal gauze on top which makes up the cooking surface. This is then placed in a cardboard box and wrapped in celophane. On the front is a piece ...
...also offers a 28 day Asda brand guarantee where you can return a product if you are not happy with it within 28 days and and get a full refund - a good thing as this is what I intend to do with two of them. There are also some instructions for use, some warnings for use and also some food safety guidlines. COST At £2.17 each they are not cheap we normally pay a lot less than this but were in a hurry to get going and couldn't be bothered to ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Last a long time
Disadvantages: Quite hard to light, only available for short period

We used Morrisons instant BBQs over the summer several times, they were a very good price and easy to get hold of throughout the summer. They were great for taking to the beach and various other places. They were a bit difficult to light compared to other instant BBQs we have used but did last long enough to cook enough for 2 people on a couple of their BBQs. They were packaged well and are easy to put out and dispose of when you are done. Unfortunately ...
...to replace their stock with things such as kids school uniform they are no longer are available even though the weather is still nice as they are usually located in the seasonal section of the supermarket. I would definately recommend them as they are only around £2 to buy which is brilliant for a day out somewhere for a BBQ. ... Read review
