Camping BBQs

[LondonSuperTrooper]

I would like to buy a portable BBQ for camping. My intended use is for cooking and for using it as fire pit on colder nights.

I like the look of these BBQs. (So sorry but I don't know how to shorten the links!)

What do you think? Will any of these be a good buy? I ought to mention that space is of a premuim in my car!

We have one of these Son of hibachi because it all folds up it doesn't take up much room and you can put it back in the bag whilst it's still quite hot if you need to. It doesn't have a lid or anything so is for grilling rather than baking iyswim. It's pretty robust but obviously much more £££ that the ones' you've seen.

We have a Liard Firebox which is really pricey BUT we've tried loads of other foldaway fire/bbq options and they've all warped or rusted. This still fits away into its little bag (about 18" x 10" x 3" ish!!) and is fab. If you raise it on bricks you can cook pizza/bread/tatties underneath and the top weirdly is still relatively unmarked and doesn't resemble a health hazard. The heat off it is amazing for the size of this wee thing and it just needs twigs to get it going. I'd post a pic but can't figure out how. Have it on my twitter - am I allowed to post a twitter address?

I have a Weber Go Anywhere BBQ that is very robust - will not warp or rust when used as a BBQ because it is enamelled steel, not painted. I know people who have had the same Go Anywhere for 15 years and it is completely unwarped and unrusted. Also the lid and vents allow roasting as well as grilling.

Not sure how it would function as a fire pit with a wood fire in it, for example.

We used to use a good Whitstable bucket BBQ and then put some logs in - but it did rust through eventually. You need a proper galvanised bucket model, not the 'pretend' teeny panted ones from Sainsbury's etc.

We use one like this one which folds totally flat for packing. Not tried burning logs in it though.

Also used to have a bucket style one which was very effective (and cheap) Widely available in supermarkets etc these days I think?

Oops! We have something like the gelert flatpack/Yellowstone pac flat. Very small in boot and lasted a long time
