Hot stuff: Top picks of gas barbecues and portable grills

Kya deLongchamps offers a sizzling selection of the latest gas barbecues and portable grills for summer 

The Weber Traveller, from €399.

Portable barbecues offer a hot take on days out, with real meals set at unusual and lovely locations. What works for a picnic or camper van could be equally useful for a small garden, combining firepower, or in the limited space of a balcony situation. If you’re serious about cooking under the sun and stars, an extra BBQ on standby also offers versatility to meet the moment.

The word portable is nebulous, as an estate car, an SUV boot and some larger roof boxes could ingest just about any legged BBQ if you could disassemble it and cram the parts home. What we want is something with sufficient cooking space that’s easy to move, load, set up, ignite, and clean.
