Major retailer selling ‘great little’ BBQ for less than £100 and it’s perfect for the warmer weather
WITH the sun finally making an appearance, there’s never been a better time to fire up a BBQ and get your garden summer-ready – and one bargain buy is getting shoppers seriously fired up.
A sleek gas BBQ that's compact, easy to move, and powerful enough to feed up to 8 guests is now flying off the shelves for just £90.
The Argos Home 2 Burner with Side Burner Gas BBQ is ideal for those sunny weekend gatherings, serving up sizzling sausages and flame-grilled burgers with ease.
Shoppers are snapping it up for its smart and organised design – it boasts two burners, a side burner (perfect for sauces and sides), and a fold-away side table for prepping or plating up.
Plus, it’s got a storage shelf to keep your ingredients close and wheels for easy transport – so whether you're cooking under the sun or racing against a sudden downpour, you’re covered.
"As described and easy to assemble. Good to use and god heat control," one satisfied shopper raved.

Another added: "This is a good size barbecue. I have used it when I had 10 people visit. Easy to move and store away in shed."
A third wrote: "Great little machine! Great little price! Speedy delivery!"
Running on propane or butane gas (regulator for propane included), this steel-built BBQ is made for convenience, and at just 11kg, it’s easy to wheel back into the shed after the party ends.
The must-have garden grill comes just as Aldi drops a summer scorcher of its own – a BBQ Pizza Oven dupe that’s turning up the heat for just £29.99.
The Belavi Pizza Oven, back in stores next week, mimics Ninja’s £330 outdoor cooker – but for a fraction of the price.
Complete with a fire box, ceramic pizza stone and integrated thermometer, it’s already cooking up excitement online.
One fan said: "Purchased one a week ago although I live alone it's so handy.
"Today I'm cooking a chicken which will be a meal and sandwiches for a couple of days. Well worth investing in this model."
Perfect for pizzas up to 12 inches, the Aldi oven heats from 0C to 200C in 5C increments and has a cool-touch handle for safe serving.
BBQ fine warning
As BBQ season heats up, Brits are also being urged to check the rules before firing up the grill – or risk being slapped with hefty fines.
With around 240 accidental BBQ fires reported each year in England, councils are cracking down on unsafe or nuisance grilling.
While BBQs aren’t banned outright, excessive smoke, constant grilling, or smoke drifting onto roads could be deemed a public nuisance – and could lead to court appearances or £500 fines.
Some areas, like Islington, have designated BBQ zones, and grilling outside of these could land you with an on-the-spot penalty.
Authorities recommend wrapping things up by 9pm to avoid disturbing neighbours.

A property expert previously warned The Sun: “Barbecues can be brilliant for social events, but if not watched carefully, they can quickly get out of hand with potentially disastrous consequences.”
To stay safe – and legal – always check your local council’s guidelines before sparking up.
7 BBQ mistakes & how to fix them
GRILL master Dan Cooper from Weber has dished out his top tips to help your BBQ go off without a hitch.
- Failure to clean – Leftover gunk = nasty flavours. Clean grates while hot, then scrub with half an onion on a fork.
- Ditch lighter fluid – Ditch the chemicals. Use lighter cubes or a chimney starter for a cleaner cook.
- Guessing game – Invest in a meat thermometer to avoid raw surprises and nail doneness every time.
- Don't lift the lid – Keep it shut! Lock in heat, speed up cooking and infuse that smoky flavour.
- Not pre-heating – Cold grills equal to stuck meat and bad sears. Wait until coals turn mostly white, or give gas BBQs a 10–15 min head start.
- Sticky marinade mess – Avoid burnt sugar. Try a reverse marinade after cooking for flavour without the flames.
- Not one rule for all – Learn the three heat zones: direct (fast cook), indirect (slow roast), and 50/50 (in-between).
