Ditch Disposable BBQs. Get yourself a Greener Portable Grill to Last a Lifetime

Durable, reusable barbecues are the sustainable alternative to single-use barbecues. Most disposable barbecues cannot be recycled or composted, are often responsible for scorching grass and don't retain the heat. And those of us at That's Food and Drink know of a picnic table at a park damaged by someone putting a disposable barbecue on the table. Which wasn't wooden, but plastic.

So, people who like to barbecue need to say goodbye to disposables and hello to a portable grill guaranteed to last for many years.

The unique kamado cooking experience is fully transportable with Kamado Joe's innovative Joe Jr. Perfect for the beach, picnics, pool parties, camping and more, Joe Jr boasts a 377 square centimetre cooking surface – ample space for a full beer-can chicken with vegetables. 

The thick-walled ceramic body locks in heat, moisture and flavour. The heat deflector plate allows cooks to experiment with indirect heat for more flexible cooking.

Masterbuilt Portable Charcoal Grill -  RRP from £279 (£399 with cart) - uk.masterbuilt.com 

Masterbuilt's Portable Grill is made for those of us who are adventurers. The suitcase-sized grill comes with an easy to transport collapsible cart, for effortless grilling on the move. With a tough shell, it's durable enough to withstand expeditions and is designed to be hauled into the back of a car, wheeled across moors, carried across beaches and set up next to lakes and rivers.

It's as simple as cooking on gas, with all the added benefits of the authentic barbecue flavour you get from charcoal. Simply light a fire lighter under your charcoal, then turn a dial to control a fan for a consistent temperature.

The charcoal hopper can burn briquettes or lump wood for up to 4 hours from 130c - 260c – hot enough to sear steak and eggs for the ultimate camping breakfast and ideal for grilling mackerel freshly caught from the sea. You can also turn it down low to slowly cook a shoulder of lamb, the perfect reward at the end of a long hike. 

The Masterbuilt Portable Charcoal Grill is designed to last and features a lockable lid, allowing you to easily take your ashes home so you don't need to worry about disposal on site.
