Now you've understood all of that, here are some of the best portable barbecues around. What is the best portable BBQ

According to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), while UK air quality has improved significantly over the past few decades, the burning of solid fuels (such as coal and wood) in our homes is the largest contributor of harmful particulate-matter (PM) emissions. This is because when coal is burned, it releases harmful pollutants, such as small particles known as PM2.5. These tiny particles can be easily inhaled and can enter the bloodstream. Gas barbecues are still one of the worst in terms of the amount of CO2 emissions they emit but you can limit the impact by turning it off straight after use, or even between cooking. With charcoal, it takes longer to reach cooking temperature and then cool down again, so it continues to give off emissions even after cooking. Plus, if you're only cooking a couple of sausages, you'll still have to use a whole bag of coal. Although it seems to be footless, it's not. This BBQ has tiny silicone feet so, whether you're using it on the ground or a surface, it is slightly raised and won't cause any damage.Have you been watching with envy those American-style smoker barbecues with beef briskets, pulled pork and sizzling ribs? Any long-burning charcoal barbecue, like a kamado, can be used to smoke, but there are also specialist smokers available. Heat thermometers: Not a standard feature on many models, but particularly handy if you're cooking meat joints and wanting to reliably achieve the same cooking results over and over. Another thing to think about is the legs. Some portable barbecues have legs or stands that fold in for storage. These should be sturdy enough to lift the barbecue off the ground without wobbling if it gets a bit windy, so look for models that have something to secure the legs in position.

Standard barbecues if you’re catering for a group of four to six people, a two-burner gas or a charcoal barbecue with a grill area of around 40 x 45cm should suffice. These barbecues are the most common and are usually the cheapest option, but they're limiting if you plan on hosting bigger parties. For charcoal options, you might also want to get a chimney lighter as it can be harder to get a fire started in a smaller space. How well does it cook?
