Valiant FIR551 Portable Folding Picnic and Camping BBQ - Black

Product Information

Most easy to manoeuvre: – Weber 1321004 Compact Charcoal BBQ if you need wheels it has to be this bbq for my money.

For ease of transportation and storage, these legs handily fold away neatly under the main frame, and the bottom trough, barbecue grill, and carbon grill can all be easily removed for the same purposes. This also makes this portable charcoal grill incredibly easy to clean after you’re done whipping up a feast. A great feature of the CosmoGrill portable charcoal barbecue is the adjustable coal tray that lets you raise or lower it via a crank handle to give you better control of the heat. There is also an easily removable ash tray to help with cleaning up. This tray isn’t the deepest though so you’ll need to make sure you empty it after each cooking session. One thing to consider is the same problem with all cast iron products, and that is that they are prone to rusting if left out in the rain too often, but with this being portable, and having a good sized handle to get a grip off, you should have no problems whisking it to a dry spot until the rain subsides. Yes, it is a little bit heavy at 12kg but any able-bodied adult can easily lift it.

It’s called the notebook folding grill for a reason- that’s exactly what this portable charcoal grill resembles once it’s fully folded away, a computer notebook or laptop to most of us – I prefer it myself over the Valiant on price and I feel the design is far more robust – have a look at what it looks like a few years after I start using it: To ensure even heat distribution throughout the grill, there are 12 small air vents in the sides that allow a good flow of air from all directions, and this makes cooking multiple pieces of meat evenly a lot easier than with some other portable grills out there. If that doesn’t scare you off, though, it’s well worth the investment. The Kamado Joe offers precise temperature control, allowing you to cook at both very high and very low temperatures. It’s ideal for a range of BBQ delights and you can even make cake in it. Whether it ever leaves your patio or not, it’s a great compact BBQ. The zester & channel knife help you to add some flair to your drink. So you can serve all types of drinks, there is also a corkscrew and a bottle opener. This Hibachi style grill looks wonderful and somehow seems to look traditional, rustic, and slightly modern all at the same time. The curved sides and oval shaped grill giving it a nice overall aesthetic that is pleasing to the eye.

As this model is so compact, there are no shelves or anywhere to put plates or sauce bottles or anything like that, it is just a portable charcoal grill. It does come with tongs though that are used for lifting the metal grills when hot and obviously also for handling the food while it’s cooking. There are two mesh grills that come with this portable charcoal barbecue, a small one and a large one. Being mesh, the grills allow you to cook smaller portions of food on them without the fear of it dropping through the bars, but on the other hand it does make them a little more difficult to clean, but a good hose or pressure washer will make that much easier. Don’t underestimate the ease of using this bbq – the wheels move easily over rough ground, the height is pretty much spot on, perhaps from using it I might say you want a little more height if you’re 6ft and up but for a short man at 5 foot 10 like myself it’s spot on, assuming you’re using a 12 inch set of tongs – a good place to look for those would be my bbq toolset article. And as a result, that goes for seated using it from a bench too. Before I get into this in more detail and put my personal points over, let’s have a look at a pretty well rounded video: Not many budget bbq’s will put up with this much use, not when you compare the pricing anyway, it’s just robust steel plate, that’s all there is to it and the griddle holds up pretty well as you can see.

The grill itself measures 28.7 inches by 13 inches, so you can cook a ton of food on there, and thanks to air vents on each side, the heat gets well distributed across the whole grill. These same ventilation holes also come in handy when cleaning this portable charcoal barbecue as they let water drain out. For safe and effective cooking, the charcoal burner is heavy duty and long lasting. This compact BBQ is also low maintenance and designed to stand the test of time, as it is rust free and easy to keep clean throughout plenty of al fresco grilling. Features and Benefits One of the main selling points of this portable charcoal grill, is the length of the folding legs. Once they are unfolded, the barbecue stands 76cm tall which is a much more comfortable height than having to stoop down or sit on a low ledge like with a lot of portable barbecues.
