Stuff UK – September 2019

The Celsius sentry

Weber Pulse 1000

Protect your precious patties from burning

with this connected electric cooker.

Delivering even heat in excess of 300°C,

the Pulse 1000 comes fitted with digital

thermometers inside. Pair it with the

iGrill 3 app and you’ll get temperature

readouts right to your phone.

£449 / weber.com

The leggy luncher

Primus Kuchoma

Sure, your average camping stove is nice

and compact, but that single flame rarely

results in super sausages. For proper gas

grilling from the same tiny canisters, try this

folding featherweight from Primus. Simply

flick out the legs, unlatch the lid and whack

your bangers on the non-stick grate.

€220 / primus.eu

The steely sizzler

Broil King Keg 5000

Need a barbie that can survive the end of

days? Not only is Broil King’s steel-walled

Keg built like a bunker, but consistent

temperatures in its charcoal convection

chamber mean it can make juicy meals out

of pretty much anything. Particularly handy

when post-apocalypse pickings are slim.

£915 / bbqworld.co.uk

The roasting raiser

Outback Orion

Charcoal cooking is an unforgiving

discipline. Too much heat and your sweet

potatoes become charred tatties; too little

and you poison the party with your

flambéed fillets. The tray in this model can

be raised and lowered to control the coals

and keep your cuisine safe from cremation.

£174 / outbackdirect.co.uk

The picnic pal

BergHoff Table BBQ

Your metal bucket might fry seafood just

fine in the garden, but ol’ rusty is no way to

prepare prawns for your pals in the park.

Upgrade your go-anywhere grilling with

this table-top charcoal barbie. Its cork cap

doubles up as a heat mat, while a handy

strap makes carrying a cinch.

€199 / berghoffworldwide.com

The miniature minimalist

Morsø Forno Piccolo

Turns out Carlsberg isn’t the only Danish

creation that can improve your balcony

cookouts. The dinkiest model in Morsø’s

Forno range, the Piccolo is a picture of

sculpted understatement, using aluminium

and cast iron to serve up a minimalist

helping of form and frying function.

£299 / morsoe.com

You know the grill... keen to

start sizzling in the sunshine,

Chris Rowlands strikes

a match and sets out to

find the best barbies for

patios of all sizes

The Wi-Fi wonder

Traeger Pro 575

You could dig a pit, fill it with sticks and leave

it smoking for two days to get smoky notes

in your tofu steak. Or you could warm up

Traeger’s clever pellet smoker via the

WiFire app, adjust the heat, set a timer and

check it from wherever. Less Bear Grylls,

more flair grills.

£799 / blackboxbbq.co.uk

The burger blower

Everdure 4K

Forget fanning the flames with a flip-flop:

this charcoal burner from Mr Blumenthal is

riddled with vents for precise airflow control.

The die-cast design also has probes inside,

a digital touch display up front and the

option to get temperature data on your

blower via Bluetooth.

£1799 / johnlewis.com

1 Mind if I smoke?

Go with a gas or electric barbie for easier heat

control, or try classic charcoal for that fabled

BBQ flavour – as long as your local council

permits the smokier sort of grilling.

2 Room to braze

Bigger might seem better if you’re cooking for

the whole crew, but upsizing isn’t a good idea if

your patio only seats six. Go small and efficient,

or choose stacked shelves for added capacity.
