Disposable BBQs

Anyone used those disposable bbq's before?
How much are they usually and where can I buy them from?
Are they any good, does it even cook the food properly? And do you just put coal in the tray and light it up? lol I've never started my own bbq before, so I think I should start on a small disposable one first....

Buying a proper bbq will mean I have to wash the grill thingy tho......... and i'm lazy

I've already got one at home anyway (my parents'), it's just when I crave for bbq'd food then i'd use the disposable ones instead of asking my parents to start a bbq for me lol

So they only last for 15-20 mins?? Can't I just put more coal in or something?

Rich_L - when did you see the small bbq in ASDA? and how small is 'small'? If it's not that big, I guess its prolly better to buy one of them instead of the disposable ones.

I would say 99p for a disposable BBQ is pretty damn good regardless of how useless it maybe for cooking for more than 1 person, these kinda things are great for camping i guess tho

They also selling what looks to be a not bad stainless steel small BBQ for £12.99

I bought a disposable one from tescos in the end, it was £1.64

and what a **mission** it was to cook the food!! it lasted about 2hrs, but didn't make much food in those 2hrs as it took so long to cook the meat. I think they're quite cool though, but i'll prolly buy the bigger one next time lol
