Should you buy a portable or table-top BBQ?

Portable barbecues are smaller than freestanding models and take up less space. You can even get barbecues that are small enough to use on a garden table or bench. Both types are ideal if you want to barbecue on the go or you want a barbecue you can take on holiday.

Prices start at around £10 for a DIY store own-label charcoal model, though these can be flimsy and prone to rust. Branded models - such as the Weber Smoky Joe charcoal barbecue which has a solid frame, air vents and ash collector - will set you back around £30.

Portable gas barbecues offer more flexibility than freestanding models - they work with smaller disposable gas canisters so you can easily take them camping or caravanning. If you choose to buy a portable barbecue make sure you check which gas canisters it uses and where you can buy them.
