The best Enders gas BBQs, compared.
Top pick: Enders Explorer II Pro 210833 Best value: Enders San Diego 2 – Best value as the lowest price in the set, about £123.62, with a thermometer listed. It does not outscore the three-burner stand. Updated 22.10.2026.
A gas BBQ in this category is an outdoor LPG barbecue, not a weather cover. You choose a narrow stand or a compact camping grill, then check the data plate against the gas you have. Tell a suitable one apart by burner count, whether a warming rack or a thermometer is actually listed in the box, and whether the legs are a one-time assembly or something you stow. Patio propane is usually a 37 mbar clip-on. Butane regulators are often 28–30 mbar, and many caravans since September 2003 are 30 mbar for both gases. A title that prints 30 mbar is not proof the carton includes a hose. Use it outdoors only. Not a tent, an awning, or a caravan. London Fire Brigade says not to barbecue on a balcony, and many tenancies ban a cylinder there. A garden terrace is not a flat balcony. The order of those checks is in the [gas BBQ buying guide](/hub/grills-and-barbecues/enders-gas-bbq/sub/enders-gas-bbq-buying-guide).

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Where will it live?
The black Explorer II Pro, model 210833, lists plug-in legs that the listing says assemble and store in the cooking chamber without tools, at about £199, 10 kg, and a cooking area of 1,536 cm². The amazon.co.uk line is 5.0 from 1 rating, and there is no written review, so that star does not show how it cooks. Stated output is missing on the listing. The manufacturer page for article 210833 quotes 4.4 kW and says the 30 mbar hose and regulator are not included, which matches the amazon included line naming a user manual. Assembly is still required even with those plug-in legs. It is the Explorer row to open when you want the tool-free legs on the listing and you will buy the gas kit separately. Skip it if you wanted reviews before you pay about £199, or if you thought a 5.0 from one rating made it the top pick.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the Explorer whose listing names tool-free plug-in legs, and you will add a regulator that matches the plate.
Less suitable: You need a review sample before you buy, a warming rack on the listing, or a hose and regulator already in the carton.
Specifications
Common questions
Can the legs come off without tools?
The listing says plug-in legs assemble and disassemble without tools and store in the cooking chamber. Assembly required is still yes.
What cooking area does the listing state?
1,536 cm². Weight is 10 kg and the model number is 210833. Stated output is not printed on the amazon.co.uk listing.
How many ratings are on the listing?
5.0 from 1 rating. There is no written review text. That star does not outrank listings with more ratings, and it is not the top pick.
The San Diego Next 3 is the three-burner free-standing stand in this set, listed at about £179, 18 kg, and 52 × 102 × 97 cm, with a hinged stainless warming rack. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.7 from 9 ratings, which is the strongest star line here that is not a single rating. Three written reviews are marked Italy or France, and one says there are a lot of screws to tighten, which matches the assembly-required line. The same page prints both 6,750 watts and 6,750 kilowatts, so you cannot quote one output from it. Ignition and a thermometer are not printed, cooking area is not stated, and included components names a user manual rather than a hose or regulator. It is the top pick in this comparison for a narrow terrace stand with a third burner, if you accept a small review sample and you confirm the data plate before you buy gas fittings.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a San Diego stand with a third burner for a terrace, and you will assemble it and match the regulator yourself.
Less suitable: You need plug-in legs for the car, a printed UK review panel, or a single power figure you can trust without opening the plate.
Specifications
Common questions
What power does the listing print?
Both 6,750 watts and 6,750 kilowatts. Those two units contradict each other on the same page, so you cannot quote one output from it. The plate on the unit is the figure that counts.
Is a warming rack listed?
Yes. The listing names a hinged stainless steel warming rack. The number of racks is 1. A thermometer is not printed.
Does it need assembly?
Yes. Assembly is required, and the installation line is free standing. One French review says there are a lot of screws to tighten. The legs are not the tool-free plug-in type.
The blue Explorer II Pro, model 2108, is the two-burner camping grill with the largest rating count in this set: about £209.67, 4,400 watts listed, and 10.8 kg. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.2 from 131 ratings. The first 50 written reviews are marked Germany, and they keep returning to a grate that sticks, so you should not read that sample as British owners. The listing says no bag is included, and the page does not name a hose or regulator. Assembly is required, and the listing does not claim the tool-free plug-in legs that appear on the black 210833 row. Colour is blue, which is another way the two Explorer listings are not the same carton. You might still open this row when you want the only Explorer here with a long written sample, and you should budget a series-specific grate if food sticks the way those reviews describe.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want an Explorer with a large written sample and you will check the grate, and the gas kit, before the first cook.
Less suitable: You want UK-marked reviews, a warming rack that is printed on the page, or a stand you leave assembled on the terrace.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a carry bag included?
No. The special-features line says no bag included. A hose and a regulator are not named either.
What output does the listing state?
4,400 watts, with two main burners. The listing says those burners are separately adjustable. Cooking area is not stated.
Are the written reviews from the United Kingdom?
The score 4.2 from 131 ratings is the amazon.co.uk listing line. The first 50 written reviews are marked Germany, and they often criticise the grate. Do not read that sample as British owners.
The San Diego 2 is the narrow two-burner stand in this set, listed at about £123.62 with a cooking area of 1,237.5 cm² and a swinging stainless warming rack. The listing also names a battery-free piezo and continuously adjustable burners, and included components names a thermometer. The amazon.co.uk line is 3.7 from 7 ratings. The written sample is three reviews marked Spain or Italy, including a failure on day four, so those stars are not a British garden panel. The title prints 30 mbar, yet the included-components line does not list a hose, a regulator, or a cover, and the page also prints 1,919.5 watts and 5 kg against a catalogue line for the same article number that does not match. Assembly is required. It is the lowest price here, which is why it is the best value in this table, though only if you accept that thin written sample and you match a regulator to the data plate before you cook.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cheapest San Diego stand in this table, you will assemble it once, and you will buy a regulator that matches the plate.
Less suitable: You need three burners, a UK review sample, or a carton that already includes a patio clip-on.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a hose or regulator listed in the box?
No. Included components names the thermometer. The title prints 30 mbar and also a cover phrase, but the included-components line does not list a cover, a hose, or a regulator.
Does this listing include a thermometer?
Yes. Included components says thermometer, and the title says with thermometer. It is the only listing in this set that names one.
Does it need assembly?
Yes. The listing says assembly is required. Installation type is portable. The legs are not described as tool-free plug-in legs.
Four amazon.co.uk listings were scored from the star line: stars divided by 5, times 100. A 4.7 from 9 ratings is 94. A 4.2 from 131 ratings is 84. A 3.7 from 7 ratings is 74. A 5.0 from 1 rating is cut to 72, because one rating is not a panel. The top pick is the three-burner stand, the highest score that is not a single rating. The best value is a different listing, the lowest price in the set. The weights below are the buying checks. They are not points on the star score. This is not a lab cook.
Gas match
30%UK patio propane is a 37 mbar regulator on a 27 mm clip-on. Butane regulators are nominally 28–30 mbar. Caravans since September 2003 are 30 mbar for both gases. The regulator must match the data plate. A 30 mbar or 50 mbar title is not patio-ready.
Job
20%A narrow stand has side shelves and, on some listings, a warming rack you assemble once. A camping grill is about 10 kg, with legs you may stow. A large cart is a different job and is not in this set.
Grate
20%These listings specify stainless. On the camping grill with 131 ratings, the written reviews are marked Germany and keep saying the grate sticks. A cast-iron grate is a separate, series-specific buy.
Box contents
15%Only one listing names a thermometer. Two name a user manual. One camping grill says no bag is included. None of the four names a hose or regulator in the included-components line.
Site
15%Outdoor only. Not a tent, an awning, or a caravan. London Fire Brigade says do not barbecue on a balcony, and many tenancies ban the cylinder there. A garden terrace is not a flat balcony.
Decide the gas and the job before the star line. A narrow stand and a camping grill are both in this set. A large cart is not. On 20 October 2026 the four amazon.co.uk prices run from about £123.62 to about £209.67, and none of them names a hose or regulator in the box. A wider set of gas barbecues is in the [gas BBQ comparison](/hub/grills-and-barbecues/gas-bbq).
An Enders gas BBQ in this comparison is an outdoor LPG cooker from that maker, not a weather cover and not another brand. Two jobs sit in the four amazon.co.uk listings. San Diego, including Next, is the narrow stand: side shelves, a warming rack on the rows that print one, and legs you assemble once. Explorer II Pro is the camping grill, about 10 kg. A Chicago-class cart is a different job and is not in this set. Gas match comes first.
Patio propane is 37 mbar on a 27 mm clip-on. A 30 mbar title can be a caravan setting or a continental kit, and these cartons do not list the regulator. The plate on the unit you receive is the one that counts.
The 4.2 from 131 ratings is the amazon.co.uk line for the blue Explorer. The written sample is marked Germany, and it keeps returning to a grate that sticks. A 5.0 from one rating, with no written review, is not a panel either.
San Diego 2 prints 1,919.5 watts and 5 kg where the catalogue article does not match. The Next 3 prints both 6,750 watts and 6,750 kilowatts. Do not pick one of those figures and ignore the plate.
Match the regulator to the data plate before you compare burners. UK patio propane is 37 mbar on a 27 mm clip-on. Butane regulators are nominally 28–30 mbar. Caravans since September 2003 are 30 mbar for both gases under EN 1949. Some Enders pages are 30 mbar with no regulator, or a 50 mbar kit. None of these four amazon.co.uk listings names a hose or regulator in the included line.
San Diego is the narrow stand, two or three stainless burners in this set, with a warming rack on the rows that print one. Explorer II Pro is the camping grill at about 10 kg. The blue and black Explorers are not the same carton: model 2108 against model 210833, and only 210833 says the legs plug in without tools. The grate on the 131-rating Explorer draws sticking complaints in German-marked reviews, so a cast-iron grate can be a series-specific extra. Only San Diego 2 lists a thermometer.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a stand you assemble once, with a third burner and a hinged warming rack. The Enders San Diego Next 3 is about £179, at 4.7 from 9 amazon.co.uk ratings. Written reviews are few and marked Italy or France, and the listing prints both 6,750 watts and 6,750 kilowatts. You match the regulator to the plate yourself.
You want the cheapest stand in this table and you will assemble it once. The Enders San Diego 2 is about £123.62, with a thermometer and a piezo on the listing, at 3.7 from 7 ratings. The written sample includes a day-four failure and is marked Spain or Italy. The title prints 30 mbar, and the carton does not list a hose.
You will pack the grill down and you will budget a hose, a regulator, and often a better grate. The black Enders Explorer II Pro 210833 is about £199, 10 kg, with plug-in legs the listing says stow without tools, and a cooking area of 1,536 cm². It is 5.0 from 1 rating, with no written review. The blue Explorer is the row with 131 ratings, and those reviews are marked Germany.
The top pick is the Enders San Diego Next 3 at about £179. It is the three-burner stand, at 4.7 from 9 amazon.co.uk ratings, score 94. Written reviews are few and marked Italy or France, and the listing prints both 6,750 watts and 6,750 kilowatts, so the plate still wins. The best value is a different listing, the Enders San Diego 2 at about £123.62, the lowest price here, at 3.7 from 7 ratings. The blue Explorer scores 84 from 4.2 and 131 ratings and takes no badge: those written reviews are marked Germany, and it is the highest price in the set. The black Explorer is 5.0 from 1 rating, scored 72 after that single rating, and takes no badge. None of these scores is a lab cook, and none of the cartons lists a hose or regulator.
Enders San Diego 2
Best value as the lowest price in the set, about £123.62, with a thermometer listed. It does not outscore the three-burner stand.
