Homebase Portable BBQ

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

...more charcoal and if you add briquets then you will get a longer cooking time obviously. I have done a bbq for thirty to forty people in the past and this went on for about three hours. I simply lit two bags of instant light and added more charcoal roughly every twenty minutes and the bbq was as good to cook on at the end as it was at the beginning. Conclusion All things considered Homebase instant light charcoal is a very good idea in my opinion and I would recomend it to anyone. It is not that much more expensive than normal charcoal by the time you have bought lighting aids and also is very much easier to light and set up. You can use instant light charcoal at home or even take it away with you if you have a portable bbq and go camping or whatever. I do not use anything else now as the alternative involves so much messing... Read review

...I have had a Weber-Stephens BBQ Grill for almost 15 years now and despite hubbies urge to go buy a fancier gas BBQ ( Boys and their Toys comes to mind), I still insist on my basic Weber. Although a gas BBQ might be cleaner and slightly easier to use, it pales in my eyes to the versatility of the underestimated basic Weber which is paramount I feel. It is more than a BBQ. Weber itself has now gone upmarket with large gas BBQ's but the more simpler Weber Kettle BBq with its dome lid is unbeatable on price. The sizes are aprox 47cm and 57cm cooking area. All come with the air vented lid with air vents underneath. All are made of rust proof outers so even without a plastic allweather cover these rarely, if ever rust, when left outside unlike other types. Although large they are easily portable having three legs which attach underneath... Read review

...Where do I absolutely love going any day of the week? Homebase. I always shop till I drop; I am a home improvement addict. Homebase is sometimes a little pricier than other well-known Home DIY stores, But they seem to have everything there you need, a one stop shop shall I say. I have wasted more money on petrol, going from shop to shop looking for a bargain in the past that I have now resigned my self to Homebase. The shop doesn’t remind you of a DIY store, the layout has a more personal touch. It is always fresh,clean and airy in there. It is not just DIY things it sells the finishing touches. If you are a shopaholic in Homebase it is worth getting one of their cards, then every pound you spend you will get rewarded. Just go to the till to pay your bill they will swipe your card through a machine. That is the way... Read review
