The moment the British summer sun appears, the park lawns fill with barbecue smoke — you may as well have a grill that is ready to leave when you are.
This is a toolbox-style folding charcoal barbecue: closed, it is a carry case with a handle; opened and set up, it is a grill. Good for student park gatherings, back-garden meals with a few families, or living permanently in the car boot on standby.
The point of the all-in-one case is fewer loose parts: the body and grill racks pack inside, and it unfolds ready to use. The charcoal structure is stable, and the heat carries that particular charcoal fragrance.
It solves the most chaotic part of any barbecue: kit scattered everywhere, foil and racks and tongs shedding along the way. Snap the case shut, put it in the boot, and the weekend is sorted.
Quick ideas
- Cumin lamb skewers: salt the lamb for half an hour, turn over charcoal, dust with cumin and chilli.
- Grilled garlic chives: brush a whole bunch with oil and salt; eat as soon as they soften — they go before the meat does.
Tastes of home
Xinjiang cumin lamb skewers, Jinzhou grilled aubergine, north-eastern grilled cold noodles, Zhanjiang oysters with garlic, Yunnan grilled tofu, Sichuan-style pork belly with dry dip… once the charcoal is lit, homesickness thins out with the smoke. A taste of home, in a foreign kitchen.
