Royal BBQ

Posted by Max Woodward on 30th Aug 2010

I've been using this for more than a year. The barbeque uses Lava Rock, which I think gives the food a proper babrequed flavour, however it is a pity that the grating to suport the lava rock is just a bit short, and so the lava roack tends to drop through at the ends. You need to be careful about scortching grass underneath as it gets quite hot. I now carry a suitable board to protect the grass. Build quality is OK, and controls are basic. The legs fold over the lid for transit. My previous model (made by Thermos) used to clip the lid in place securely, but this doesn't quite manage to do this.

I shall need to replace the BBQ next year and would consider the same type as they are light, have a reasonable cooking area, gives the food a proper barbequed taste, rather than just grilled, and the alternatives appear to offer nothing better at the price.
