Table Top Gas BBQ Inc Lava Rock

I wanted a bbq mainly for using when away with the caravan so it had to be quite small and I didn't want to spend big money. This fits the bill perfectly. It is easy to use, easy to store, easy to clean, its great! I have found it works best when placed on the ground away from any wind, I have also used it on a workbench in the garden but it seems to perform not so well when its higher up as it suffers from wind blowing through the air holes in the bottom which reduces cooking performance. I usually light it up, put the lit on and leave it for a few minutes - then the coals are nice and hot and its at the perfect temp to start cooking. After several uses I remove both trays (upper food and lower coal tray) and soak them and give the bottom area a clean, I think it will last much longer if kept clean. Highly recommend this, probably not so good for larger parties or constant use but for a family of 5 who mainly uses it on holiday its perfect! Note: you will need to buy a gas (propane in my case) regulator, a length of gas hose, and a couple of jubilee clips to connect this to your gas bottle.

Cheap, easy to assemble and use. Had them before, they are portable and easy to carry but don't expect it to last for ever Why did you choose this product over others?: Cheap and value for money

Great product and great price

Not too bad for a simple portable gas BBQ. Assembly was a little difficult with fairly poor instructions but got there in the end. However, the lava rocks they sent had obviously not gone through quality control. One of the lava rocks WAS THE SIZE OF A BASEBALL!!! I had to get a hammer and chisel to break it (and another rock) into usable sizes which was quite time consuming and tiring. Very bizarre issue - I can only assume someone fell asleep on the job when packaging it up... on the positive side I have discovered I have a knack for carving rock sculptures and am now going to make millions in the art world. From a usage perspective the BBQ was quite hot and cooked steaks OK (which is always a challenge with gas BBQs). The BBQ is quite compact and the legs fold up up nicely, holding the lid on for transport. I had thought about totally disassembling it after use to save even more space but given the challenge of assembly I'll leave it as it is. All-in-all a reasonable purchase which would work OK for a single family camping but not really enough surface area for any more than that.

A bit difficult to put together as instructions not very clear but once assembled it's excellent, good cooking area, and cook's well on low, easy to clean.

This BBQ is fabulous easy to assemble clean and use use to close and carry looks great big enough to use for family of four

I bought this to try on holiday with our touring caravan because it's cheap and our caravan has an external gas outlet, so we didn't need to buy a regulator or gas cylinder to use it; just a length of gas hose. It works about as well as I expected, perhaps a little better. I had to add extra lava rocks because it comes with a fairly meagre amount. It's easy to assemble for anyone who can follow instructions and use a spanner. It is made of thin sheet steel so I don't expect it to last very long, but it fits perfectly in the caravan's outside locker. Cooking, the heat is rather uneven, with the end nearest the valve good only for warming. If you are cooking more than four burgers at a time you have to keep moving them around. The temperature is pretty much uncontrollable. There are no markings on the valve and it's hard to see how much gas is coming out. If you turn it down too far then the wind blows it out. But it doesn't really matter because fully open is about right for cooking most things, albeit being careful not to leave anything over the hottest parts for too long. You'll need either long cooks matches or a gas wand to light it because you can't reach the burner past the lava rock with ordinary matches. Overall a good buy. Of course the big advantage over charcoal is you are ready to cook in less than 10 minutes.

This is my 2nd one of these. It is small enough to go in the boot of the car. Ideal for 2 people. Does the job. Good value. Have no complaints other than, like any BBQ, cleaning it is a pain and that is it really. Very useful feature is being able to close the lid over the whole thing, which stops the lava rocks spilling out in the car. I bought a spare bag of lava rocks for my 1st one as they are a bit stingy with them. Now i have enough to cover the grill area completely and the ones i bought are better quality. It sits very neatly on a table which is the best feature.
