If you are using a gas model, temperature control is much easier compared to the charcoal models. You just need to turn the gas up or down accordingly. Charcoal bbq grills have dampers to help in temperature control. Upper dampers act as the hot air exits, cooling down the heat. The bottom dampers are responsible for fanning the heat and keeping the coals alight. If great manipulation is applied, you can have the bbq grill run for as long as needed but most charcoal models will give you around 60-90 minutes of cooking time. Features that make life easier How a barbecue is constructed will affect its primary functions. The material used to construct the bbq should be able to keep up with the scale of heat being produced. Stainless steel and ceramic models seem to be a favourite among many. Stainless steel does not rust and is durable enough to withstand constant use. You can get aluminium models because they tend to be lighter but they don’t tend to be as robust. Finally, cast iron BBQs are very strong and retain heat much better and for longer, however, they are much heavier too. The PicNic is a case portable BBQ which means that everything fits into a suitcase-style case. This BBQ sits on steel legs but you need to place it on a table if you want to stand up and barbeque. The cooking grill is adjustable to three heights so you can keep vegetables away from the hot coals or lower the grill when the coals start to die down. Can be fussy to clean because of the design of the grill, it does come with cleaning tools though to make it easier.

There are several holes at the bottom of this model whose job is to encourage airflow. Finally, this bbq comes with a 1-year warranty for full peace of mind.

The freestanding chrome legs provide stability when cooking, although they are very short and you find yourself needing to crouch down to cook if you don’t set the BBQ grill on a table.

It’s light to carry (5kg; 11 pounds) so you can carry it a reasonable distance into the wilderness of the great outdoors, or just down to your local green space. Legs are only 40cm, so the BBQ needs to be placed on a table or you need to kneel on the ground to use it.Gas models are very efficient, however, some might argue that gas models don’t give the same smokey flavour, we disagree but that’s another story. Gas models are very simple to start up and get to the right temperature. Most models will have knobs to help the user to regulate the amount of heat needed at the time. They are also easier to clean because there isn’t ash involved. The only downside is that you need to carry a gas bottle around, however, the same can be said in regards to carrying coal around. The PicNic is made of a pressed and punctured metal sheet for a sleek look. The legs are 40cm (16 inches) long, so for comfortable grilling, you’ll have to place the BBQ on a table or kneel down beside it.

And barbecued food is some of the best food to eat al fresco. But why be limited to having BBQ only when you’re at home? In this review of the Best Portable BBQs, we introduce the idea of barbecuing wherever you are – at the lake, when camping, on a road trip or in the local park. Does it have an ash collector or do you need to tip the ash out? –In the case that you are using a charcoal grill, models that have ash catchers will be easier for you to handle. These ash collectors can be detached from the bbq to make disposal of the ash much easier. Other models will have small openings at the bottom to help drain the ash from the grill. Most cheaper models simply need to be tipped out at an angle and this can create a mess and may not be the best design.
