Enter, the best value charcoal BBQ we’ve seen so far this year — this highly-rated pick from Argos even comes with a complimentary cover and set of utensils.

Type: Charcoal | Cooks for: up to 10 people | Bonus accessories: Protective cover and three grilling utensils
This BBQ bundle from Argos is an absolute bargain, complete with a set of utensils, cover, and classic charcoal barbie.
Hailed by shoppers as a “very high quality and functional BBQ”, it has managed to rack up an astonishing 6,530 five-star reviews over the years and gained a loyal following. One shopper even said, "this is the second one of these we have purchased; the last one lasted 7 years so can't complain."
An absolute bargain, there’s no wonder it’s popular and currently selling fast over on Argos, especially as it comes with an additional one year’s warranty and the option of same day delivery or in-store collection.
Why we rate it
The grill itself is adjustable, meaning you can customise the distance between the charcoal and cooking grill. This helps give you complete control over how much charcoal flavour your food absorbs, and how well it cooks.
Once your food is cooked to perfection, there’s a chrome-plated warming rack for you to store your food and keep it warm while the other bits on your barbecue are cooking.
Another big bonus is that this particular model from Argos comes with a cover. More often than not you, have to purchase a cover separately from other major retailers, sometimes costing you upwards of £25. Plus, this bargain BBQ set also comes with the bonus of a utensils kit (which includes a pair of tongs, fork and spatula), which means you have everything you need to get grilling ASAP.
Cleaning is also a breeze. Described by various shoppers as “very easy to clean”, it comes with a removable ash tray that is easily removable for you to clean. Furthering its practicality, it also comes with two wheels so you can move it around the garden with ease.
It's worth noting that the BBQ does need some assembly upon arrival, but shoppers have said it's simple and easy to do.
What the reviews say
Rated on average an impressive 4.7 out of five stars, a huge 98% of shoppers would recommend this barbie — with the majority commenting on its great value for money.
“I bought this a few weeks ago and it was very easy to build and is nice and sturdy. It is a good size and spacious. I used it to make a BBQ for 8 people. It comes with a rain cover and cooking utensils which is a bonus. I recommend this product.”
“I bought this because my family is a mix of vegetarians and meat eaters so this having sliding grills with 2 sides is perfect!”
“This is the second one of these we have purchased, last one lasted 7 years so can't complain. The removal grill plates are a good quality and easy to clean, they don't rust. Some added features on this one that we didn't have before as you can now adjust the cooking height.”
“Once we mastered how to put the BBQ together, to use it is so easy, the shelf within the BBQ itself a bonus, two grilling trays making them easier to wash afterwards and the lid is so beneficial - I can't recommend this enough - great design!!”
"Absolutely great BBQ for the price with plenty of cooking space and resting space to keep the food warm. Definitely recommend."
