There’s nothing quite like the thrill of cooking outdoors, whether you’re on a camping trip, at the park, or simply relaxing with friends in your own garden. When you’re on the move, it’s easy to pick up a disposable barbecue; they’re cheap, light and convenient. But at what cost?

With an environmental crisis on our hands, there has been an urgent shift away from single-use products and a focus on their more environmentally friendly and reusable counterparts. A portable barbecue ticks all the boxes for your outdoor dining, and provides a heap of benefits over harmful disposables ones. Here’s why we think the Summit Al Fresco Smokeless BBQ Grill from B&Co will be perfect for your next outdoor excursion.

Fire Safety
The number of major wildfires in the UK this year has already surpassed previous years, just five months in to 2019. While disposable barbecues can’t be blamed for all of them, accidental fires caused by humans are undoubtedly on the rise. Staying cool to the touch and with legs to keep it off the ground, the risk of accidental fire is significantly reduced when using the Al Fresco BBQ Grill to give you peace of mind while you're cooking.
Reusability
Disposable, adj: intended to be thrown away after use. See also: wasteful and entirely unnecessary.
For most people, it's second nature to dispose of a used barbecue or take litter home after enjoying the outdoors, but too often it doesn't happen. A portable barbecue will last for years, saving tens or even hundreds of single-use products ending up in landfill or entering the oceans. Simply pack away the Al Fresco BBQ Grill ready for use on your next adventure, without leaving a trace!
Cleaner burn
Switching to a portable barbecue from a disposable version will not only protect the ocean and the ground beneath your feet, it will reduce air pollution too. The Summit Al Fresco Grill uses eco-friendly Lighting Gel which has a non-toxic burn; a green and clean alternative to traditional petroleum based firelighters. Not only that, the BBQ is virtually smokeless too so the family can gather round without being smoked out!
Convenience
Weighing in at only 5kg and complete with a carry bag, the Al Fresco BBQ Grill is easy to transport to the park for a picnic, or to your spot of choice on a camping trip. Using just 250g of charcoal will provide up to 100 minutes of cooking time without weighing down your load. On top of that, the grill will be ready to cook on in a speedy 5 minutes, far quicker than a traditional charcoal barbecue. If you don't fancy washing up when you're done, the components are dishwasher safe - now that's what we call convenient!
