At 50cm (W) x 25cm (D) x 23cm (H) cm this BBQ-Torro grill is quite large for a portable charcoal barbecue and you’ll be able to feed a group of 4-5 people. The only problem I found with the raised, oval cooking grid is that it doesn’t have any sides and so I had to be careful when rolling my sausages so that they didn’t fall off. 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.

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. The folding portable charcoal bbq takes less than 5 minutes to set up, is lightweight and easy to carry. This charcoal bbq grill is ideal for use on the move as the heavy-duty charcoal burner is perfect for safe and proper cooking. In addition, the stainless steel design with a robust grill makes it rust-free and easy to clean. The BBQ Multi-Tool made by Valiant has utensils in one, making it the perfect portable cooking tool. The handy utensil has every tool you need in one handy fold-up device. Whether you are a BBQ master, outdoor enthusiast or just like entertaining, the compact tool is for you. This sits on the ground or a tabletop – I have to say I would definitely go with the floor, whilst the legs are pretty sturdy, it’s just that bit safer. Before we get into other benefits, let’s have a look at this unit up close and that base I really like:

The best portable BBQs to buy

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.

Best portable charcoal bbq overall: Weber 1321004 Compact Charcoal BBQ or the smaller version of this if you need wheels or the Weber 1121004 Smokey Joe Premium if you don’t. Summer wouldn’t be summer without having a barbecue or two. The problem with the UK though is that you can never be sure how long the good weather will last but what better way than to have a portable charcoal bbq that’ll give you all the flexibility to have one wherever and at anytime.

The Valiant FIR551 Portable BBQ is in direct competition with the Notebook Folding Portable Grill that i always go on about. And in my mind has it covered all the way. If not for the fact I’ve known and personally used the Notebook for many years, I’d rate it top. It’s hard to pull a known entity out of top spot, one I’ve tested and used. But with that said, this has some real benefits over the Notebook when they are compared directly. Here’s what you can expect out the box:

The deceptively compact folding design also converts into full-size tongs. Made to last, the Valiant BBQ Multi-Tool is robust and durable. It is made of hygienic grade stainless steel and has a varnished beech hardwood handle for a stylish finish. The notebook folding grill stands only 30cm tall, so you’ll probably have to lie down to do the cooking, or sit it on top of a bench or something to make it more comfortable. They have thermometers, decent perimeter sealing for long and low heat, can come on wheels, and if you really need come without a stand so can be used tabletop and easily fit in the smallest of vehicles and can be carried by anyone that can manage 15 pounds in weight.
