Having owned this BBQ (or Braai) for over a year I used it for the first time last weekend and, oh my goodness, my chicken was the best-tasting chicken and the best-looking chicken on the whole campsite. These usually come in black but a special edition of mid-grey or green is a perfect choice to coordinate with your vehicle, so when you take pictures for the gram, it all looks and tastes delicious.

Loved how the grass underneath was unscathed, even without placing the lid underneath—which I did purely to keep the kit together; I had a grill plate too which I didn’t use this time. I cooked my chicken rubbed with a lemon herb mix and half a can of organic stout up its bottom, along with a side dish of peppers and courgettes in the Dutch oven I placed directly into the coals. The cooking time was about two hours for the chicken. Falling off the bone it was well-cooked.

The lid was great for when we wanted to go to sleep. Easy to clean and tip out the cold coals. Popped it back in the bag and we were off. A bit heavier than the fold-ups and travel kits—but perfect for my Land Rover weekends and longer-stay trips, and it looks lovely in my garden too. Not used the Bread Oven as yet. Next time.
