THE BEST GAS BARBECUES FOR YOUR OUTDOOR PARTIES
Firing up for your next cookout? Opt for a hassle-free grill that won’t make you work up a sweat
A. JOHN LEWIS & PARTNERS 3 BURNER
The first thing you will notice after a 45-minute set up time, is the solid build and quality components, so you know you won’t be looking for a replacement next summer. And you won’t be disappointed with the results from the grill either, as a dependable lighting system and efficient burners produced some delicious food. You get a lot of barbecue for the money, so it would be worth spending the extra £30 for a cover to make sure that you keep it in tiptop condition.

B. WEBER TRAVELER
It’s a good choice as a table top grill for a small patio or balcony, because the cart is sturdy and provides a solid base when set up. Takes no time to assemble with the electronic ignition keeping you up and running in no time. The cart folds right down so you can pull it behind you to your destination on robust plastic wheels, and with the grill attached to the cart.
C. CADAC CITI CHEF 40
A favourite at the nation’s campsites as they can be put together in minutes and will hit the right heat quickly with their efficient single burner with good auto ignition. When you’re cooking, the practical dome lid stays attached to the body of the barbecue and can be positioned as a wind-break for the food.

D. EVERDURE FORCE
Its side-mounted and raised taps control the two burners under the coloured retro aluminium hood. The grill plates have the flame tamers built into them, which allows the burners to be closer to the grill. With a hot spot in the middle of the grate and a cooler zone around the edge, you can place different foods accordingly without any danger of burning.
E. CHAR BROIL X200 GRILL2GO
This portable packs a punch because it retains the TRU infrared cooking technology of its bigger relations, which ensures totally even heat distribution across the grill surface. The triangular strips that make up the grate did a great job of keeping the food from sticking, and the heat from the burner was easily controlled using the responsive side mounted dial. There’s two sturdy carry handles either side and a hooded lid that has enough room to store a couple of tanks of gas inside when the barbecue is fastened down for transport.
F. NAPOLEON PHANTOM ROGUE SE 425 RSIB
There is a high heat side burner for finishing off and searing your steaks, and a very welcome rotisserie burner at the rear of the barbecue that’s excellent for slow roasting food. With reliable ignition, the rogue SE hit the required temperature quickly and you can get good heat distribution across the big grilling area. A well-proportioned warming rack, sizeable foldaway side shelving and a matt black finish offers an eye-catching alternative to stainless steel too.
