Advantages: Hot, steamy, speedy

Disadvantages: Doesnt last very long

This is a slightly belated review of a product I used over a month ago now, but certain details stuck in my head about this disposable BBQ so I wanted to pass them on to any unsuspecting buyers.

Now, it's a pretty decent sized BBQ, but at £4.99, you'd hope to be able to fit a fair few burgers on there. It comfortably took 8 of the homemade burgers we were cooking, and had room round the edges to toast some buns too. For the four people we had, it was plenty big enough.

It also took a very short time to get going, great! 20 minutes from lighting the corner of the touch paper, it was a nice even heat, and hot enough to take the paint off the wall we sat it on (oops!). It cooked the burgers in about 10-15 minutes, which for that thickness of steak mince, is pretty good going.

However, it did have a downside. After the burgers were done, so was the BBQ. It didn't last anywhere near the 1hr 30 it was meant to, and was down to a piddly little glow, and not enough heat to cook our sausages - which we then had to fry!

Overall, it'll do the job, but it's not really worth the £4.99 it'll cost you.

Summary: Bit of a flash in the pan
