The best Gas barbecues, compared.
Top pick: Weber Q 1200N with stand Best value: Campingaz Party Grill – Best value as the lowest price at 4 stars or above with at least 100 UK reviews: about £96.01, score 92 from 4.6 and 4,208 reviews. Updated 22.10.2026.
A gas barbecue is an outdoor LPG grill: a wheeled trolley with several burners, a lidded portable, or a cartridge camp grill. You buy one in the UK when you want a flame you can turn down. A suitable gas barbecue matches the fuel fitting you will use. Patio trolleys are usually propane-shaped and often ship without a hose or regulator. Compact portables may take a small canister. A cartridge camp grill takes its own valve, not a patio bottle. A 2+1 is a small trolley, a 4+1 a family size, a 6+1 a wide cabinet, and a single burner is one heat zone. Read the grate from the size line when an area field disagrees. A lid, a drip tray and an igniter are the everyday controls. A cover is fabric over painted steel, not proof against rust. Those checks are in the [gas barbecue buying guide](/hub/grills-and-barbecues/gas-barbecue/sub/gas-barbecue-buying-guide). A balcony is not a site for this fire. If a balcony is the only outdoor space, do not buy.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Which body do you need?
The Weber Q 1200N with stand packages the same 2.93 kW single-burner idea with side tables and a stand at about £389.00, the highest shelf price in this set. The amazon.co.uk line shows 5.0 from only four reviews, so that average is thin evidence and must not outrank a 4.4 from hundreds of trolley reviews. The few buyers who wrote praise easy operation, compact cooking, and roughly three hours on canisters in one user report. One review describes a unit sold as used, which is a fulfilment risk on a tiny sample rather than a design verdict. At about 19 kg with the stand it is less of a grab-and-go pack than the 9.1 kg Q 1100N. Power fields align on 2.93 kW here, and a built-in lid thermometer is stated. Choose it only if you specifically want this stand package and accept that the star line rests on four voices.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You specifically want the Q 1200N stand package and accept thin review evidence.
Less suitable: You want a badge-grade review sample or multi-burner zoning.
Specifications
Common questions
Why should I not treat the 5.0 as proof it is the best?
The listing shows 5.0 from only 4 UK reviews. That is too thin to outrank a 4.4 from hundreds or thousands of reviews.
Does it have a side burner?
No. The title adds side tables and a stand, not a side burner.
What fuel do reviewers mention?
One UK review says gas canisters last about 3 hours and recommends a backup supply.
The Campingaz Party Grill 400 CV is a cartridge camp grill, not a wheeled garden trolley, and the UK review pile shows that clearly: 4.6 from 4,208 reviews at about £96.01. Buyers pack the roughly 4.9 kg body for camping and day trips, then swap between grid, reversible plancha and pan support on the stated 2,000 W burner. Fuel is the Campingaz CV470 Plus cartridge or an R907 cylinder, a different valve from Patio Gas on a trolley. Some users report a long run on a cartridge. Others buy the wrong cylinder and blame the grill. Ignition and flame-out in wind come up often enough to treat as a real limit, not a one-off. The cooking-area field prints 1.51 cm² against a 36 cm diameter bullet, so size the grate from the diameter claim, not that field. Use it for short outdoor cooks. It is a poor stand-in for a large weekly garden cook.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a cartridge camp grill for trips or short outdoor cooks.
Less suitable: You need a wheeled 4+1 or 6+1 for a garden party.
Specifications
Common questions
What gas does the Campingaz Party Grill use?
The title says CV470 gas cartridge or R907 cylinder. Bullets describe a CV 470 Plus run time of up to 3 hours at 145 g/h.
Is assembly required?
The listing field says assembly required: no.
Is it a full garden trolley barbecue?
No. It is a portable camp grill with pan support, grid and plancha. It is a poor match for a large weekly garden cook.
This CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 6+1 (model 93416) is the wide trolley with a 600D Oxford cover in the bullets, priced at about £299.99 and sitting on 4.5 from 366 UK reviews. Reviewers value the cooking space and heat for family use, and some use the side burner once the fittings are sorted. The listing is explicit that hose and regulator are not included and notes 37 mbar propane or 28 mbar butane, so budget a matching patio kit before the first cook. Build is a two-box flat-pack that many call long and weakly instructed. Occasional missing or damaged parts in transit appear in the sample. Thin paint and early wear still show up even with the cover in the title, so the fabric is weather shelter, not rust insurance. A material line gives a 77 × 42 cm grate against a 3,214 cm² area field. Use the grate line when the two disagree. Choose it when you need the 6+1 width and want the cover bundled, not when you need a compact patio footprint.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a wide 6+1 with a cover and will buy a 37 mbar patio kit.
Less suitable: You need a compact patio footprint or fittings in the carton.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a hose included?
No. The material line says a regulator and hose pipe are needed and are not included. It notes 37 mbar for propane or 28 mbar for butane.
Does it share a model number with another ASIN?
Yes. Model number 93416 is also used on B07TN7H7FC, the 6+1 without a cover in the title.
How wide is the trolley?
The dimensions field is 55 × 149 × 110 cm, so about 149 cm wide.
Across 1,036 amazon.co.uk reviews, the CosmoGrill Original 4+1 is the trolley most buyers in this set actually talk about cooking on: four main burners, a claimed 2.1 kW side burner for onions, and a stated 1,952 cm² grate on a 126 cm body at about £199.99. Reviewers often call the cooking space right for a household once the barbecue is lit, and several titles land on good-for-the-money rather than luxury build. The carton is the first hitch. The included list stops at a lid and rack, and UK reviews repeat that no hose or regulator arrived, so some households had not cooked on day one. Assembly is flat-pack: the listing claims two people within two hours, yet reviewers call the instructions fiddly, parts poorly labelled, and tools essential. Power lines conflict across the page (bullet kilowatts versus a 9.3 kW field), so treat output as a listing claim, not a measured figure. Painted steel will need a separate cover if you leave it outside. That cover is not listed here. If you already budget for a matching 37 mbar patio kit, this is the strongest trolley review sample on this shelf.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 4+1 garden trolley with a large UK review sample and will buy a matching regulator separately.
Less suitable: You need the hose in the carton, or a compact canister grill.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the CosmoGrill Original include a hose and regulator?
The included-components field lists a lid and a rack. UK reviews in the saved file say a hose and regulator were not in the box.
How many burners does it have?
The listing is a 4+1: four main burners and one side burner. The heating-elements field says 5. The bullet powers do not match the 9.3 kW field or the 31.75 British Thermal Units field.
Is assembly tool-free?
No. Assembly required is yes. The bullets say two people within two hours. Reviews mention fiddly instructions and the need for tools.
The uncovered CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 6+1 shares model 93416 with its covered sibling but sits at about £289.99 and 4.4 from 269 UK reviews. Buyers who finish the two-box build praise the heat and the wide grate for larger cookouts, and the side burner gets used once gas is connected. Hose and regulator are again explicitly not included, with the same 37 mbar or 28 mbar note as the cover listing. The cooking-area field prints 77 cm² against a 77 × 42 cm grate line. That field is broken. Size from the grate dimensions. Assembly time and unclear steps are the main friction, alongside thin paint after outdoor seasons. You save a little versus the cover bundle and buy weather protection separately if you need it. Pick this row when the 6+1 width matters more than having the 600D cover in the carton on day one.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the 6+1 width and will buy a cover separately if needed.
Less suitable: You want the cover already in the carton.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a cover included?
Not in this ASIN’s title or bullets. The covered sibling is B07TN7QXR8 at a higher shelf price.
Why does the cooking-area field look wrong?
The field prints 77 square centimetres while the material line prints a 77 × 42 cm grill size. Both lines stay on the listing. Do not convert one into the other.
Is a hose included?
No. The material line says a regulator and hose are required and not included.
The Weber Q 1100N is a single-burner portable with a porcelain-enamelled cast-iron grate of about 1,290 cm², priced at about £289.00 on 4.4 from 76 UK reviews. A field also prints 1,302 cm². Reviewers praise even heat on the cast iron, quick warm-up, easy electronic push-button ignition, and a useful lid thermometer for patio or motorhome cooks. At about 9.1 kg it is carryable, though some still call it heavy for long walks from the car. UK reviews describe small screw-on canisters rather than a patio bottle. Canister running cost is the main ongoing complaint. One heat zone means you cannot park food on a cooler side the way a 4+1 trolley allows. The included field does not list a hose, and at least one review mentions a tube and regulator with canisters bought separately. Check the carton list. Buy it for compact Weber cooking on canisters, not for multi-burner zoning at a garden party.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a compact Weber Q and accept canister fuel.
Less suitable: You need multi-burner zoning or patio-bottle fittings in the carton.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it take a patio gas bottle?
UK reviews describe small screw-on canisters. One review mentions an adapter if you want a small cylinder. Do not assume a green Patio Gas clip-on fits.
How many burners does it have?
One. Reviews note that a single burner limits heat zoning.
Is it balcony-safe?
The listing mentions balconies in marketing copy. London Fire Brigade guidance says never use a barbecue on a balcony. Treat the marketing line as product copy, not permission.
The CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 4+1 pushes the stated cooking area to 2,602 cm² and asks about £269.99 for four claimed 2.5 kW main burners plus a matching side burner. Across 910 UK reviews the heat and everyday cooking get solid praise when the unit is complete, and locking castors plus a full-length warming rack are what buyers notice on the trolley. The same missing-hose pattern as the Original appears here: fittings are not in the included list, and reviewers say they had to buy a regulator separately. Rust and paint peel after outdoor storage, including within about a year in detailed UK reviews, is the recurring finish complaint. Assembly divides opinion. Some call it manageable. Others find the instructions frustrating on thin-feeling steel. Kilowatt fields still conflict with other lines on the listing, so do not treat them as a measured figure. Buy this if you want the larger stated 4+1 grate and will fund gas fittings and weather protection yourself.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the larger stated 4+1 grate and accept buying gas fittings separately.
Less suitable: You need a cover in the carton or an agreed kilowatt figure.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it include a hose and regulator?
The included-components field lists a rack and a tray. UK reviews say a hose and regulator were not in the box.
How does the cooking area compare with the Original?
This listing states 2,602 cm². The Original states 1,952 cm². Both figures are listing fields, not a lab measure.
Is rust a review theme?
Yes. UK reviews describe rust and paint peel after outdoor storage, including within about a year in detailed accounts.
This CosmoGrill 4+1 adds a claimed 600D Oxford cover to the same 1,952 cm² class as the Original and sells at about £219.99 with 4.1 from 160 UK reviews. Everyday heat and the side burner get decent marks when the barbecue arrives complete, and some buyers call the flat-pack build acceptable. The review sample is far smaller than the Original’s 1,036, and the star line sits lower at 4.1. Hose and regulator still fail the carton test. Reviews report no regulator in the box, so the cover does not solve the first-cook gas kit. Rust and paint issues under the cover after outdoor storage remain a theme, which matches the Pro Deluxe pattern. Piezo ignition and individual burner control are claimed on the listing. Take this if you want a cover in the delivery and will still buy fittings. Take the Original if you want the larger UK review sample at a lower shelf price.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 4+1 with a cover in the carton and will still buy gas fittings.
Less suitable: You need the largest review sample or a hose in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this ASIN include a cover?
Yes. The title and weather-protection bullet claim a 600D Oxford fabric cover.
Does it include a regulator?
The included-components field does not list a hose or regulator. At least one UK review says no regulator was in the box.
Is a cover a rust guarantee?
No. Reviews still describe rust and paint issues after outdoor storage under a cover.
The BROILUCK 2+1 is the cheapest trolley on this shelf at about £89.99, with a side burner and temperature gauge claimed and 3.5 from 71 UK reviews. Some buyers say it heats adequately once lit and call assembly straightforward. Others report a thin, cheap finish that matches the entry price. Missing parts on arrival and unreliable electronic ignition appear often enough to plan a parts check before the first weekend. Hose and regulator are not named in the included list, so fittings are separate, as on the larger trolleys. Size and area fields conflict badly: a 7,000 cm² field against a 43 × 34 cm bullet. Do not size the cook from that area number. Large wheels help move it, but this remains a two-main-burner layout, not a four-burner family grate. Use it only as a budget 2+1 when you will verify parts and buy the gas kit. Skip it if you need consistent specs or a wider cooking surface.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cheapest 2+1 trolley and will verify fittings and parts on arrival.
Less suitable: You need consistent specs or a four-burner grate.
Specifications
Common questions
How many main burners does it have?
Two main burners plus one side burner (2+1). The heating-elements field prints 2.
Do the size fields agree?
No. The item-dimensions field and the bullet size line disagree, and the cooking-area field conflicts with the 43 × 34 cm grill bullet.
Is a hose included?
A hose and regulator are not named in the included-components field.
The Campfire 4+1 undercuts the CosmoGrill trolleys at about £169.99 with a stated 2,275 cm² grate, but the UK star line is only 3.4 from 59 reviews. When a complete unit arrives, some reviewers like the look and the heat. Missing or wrong parts, including side-burner connectors in at least one review, are a hard stop before you ever light it. Hose and regulator are not included per the bullets, so the first shop is fittings plus any chase-up for missing pieces. Assembly is called hard with weak instructions, and thin paint or a flimsy feel shows up in the critical titles. A thermometer is listed in the included components, which is one concrete plus against some mid-price rows. The manufacturer line prints CAMPFIRE. A brand-name field in the saved listing also prints Touch of Venetian. Both lines are on the page, and they do not agree. Only take this if you are price-led on a 4+1 and will open the carton carefully.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are price-led on a 4+1 and will check the carton for missing parts.
Less suitable: You want a 4-star trolley with a four-figure review count.
Specifications
Common questions
Are a hose and regulator included?
The bullets say the regulator and hose are not included.
Why is the star line lower?
The listing shows 3.4 from 59 UK reviews. Reviews report missing parts and hard assembly more often than on the CosmoGrill Original row.
Does the brand field agree?
The manufacturer line prints CAMPFIRE. A brand-name field in the saved listing also prints Touch of Venetian. Both lines are on the page, and they do not agree.
Ten amazon.co.uk gas barbecue listings were scored from 0 to 100 as the UK star line times 20. A 4.4 becomes 88. A 4.6 becomes 92. A 5.0 becomes 100. A 3.5 becomes 70. A 3.4 becomes 68. Review count does not add points. A line under 10 reviews is reported as thin evidence: the Weber Q 1200N is 5.0 from 4 ratings and is not the top pick. Price is used only for the best-value badge. Layout, fuel fitting, cover and hose are table notes. They do not add points. The top pick is the CosmoGrill Original 4+1, score 88, 4.4 from 1,036 ratings, at about £199.99, the strongest trolley sample for a garden gas barbecue. Campingaz scores 92 but is a cartridge camp grill, not that trolley. Best value is the Campingaz Party Grill at about £96.01, 4.6 from 4,208, the lowest price among listings at 4 stars or above with at least 100 UK reviews. The BROILUCK at about £89.99 is cheaper and is not badged, at 3.5 from 71. This is not a lab cook.
Stars
100%The whole score is the amazon.co.uk star line times 20, rounded to a whole number from 0 to 100. A 5.0 becomes 100, a 4.6 becomes 92, a 4.5 becomes 90, a 4.4 becomes 88, a 4.3 becomes 86, a 4.1 becomes 82, a 3.5 becomes 70 and a 3.4 becomes 68. Review count is shown beside that line and does not add points. Fewer than 10 reviews is thin evidence, which is why a 5.0 from 4 ratings is not the top pick. Price picks the best-value badge only. Burner layout, fuel fitting, cover and hose stay in the table.
Choose the place and the fuel fitting before the star count. A gas barbecue here is an outdoor LPG grill: a trolley, a lidded portable, or a cartridge camp grill. A useful one matches the valve you will use, and the grate line agrees with the size bullet. Shelf prices in this set run from about £89.99 to about £389.00. A 4.4 from 1,036 reviews is a different record from 5.0 from four reviews.
A gas barbecue in this category burns LPG under a grate, outdoors. The shapes on a UK shelf are a wheeled trolley with several burners, a lidded one-burner portable, and a cartridge camp grill. Charcoal and electric grills are other categories. You are choosing how many heat zones you need, which bottle or cartridge the inlet accepts, and whether the hose and regulator are in the carton. Place comes first. The fire stays outdoors, clear of sheds, fences and awnings.
Patio trolleys in this set leave the hose and regulator off the included line. UK reviews repeat the empty carton. A 6+1 listing says 37 mbar propane or 28 mbar butane and that the kit is not included.
A patio bottle, a Weber Q canister and a CV470 or R907 cartridge are different fittings. Calor’s universal kit is not proof of the inlet thread. Do not expect a Q to take green Patio Gas.
The Q 1200N shows 5.0 from 4 reviews, which the formula turns into 100. That sample is too thin to outrank 4.4 from 1,036 on the Original 4+1. The score reports the star line. It does not certify the grill.
Place is the first refusal. A gas barbecue is for outdoors, clear of sheds, fences and awnings. GOV.UK says never indoors, in a tent, under an awning or in a caravan. Store cylinders outside, away from sun and frost, turn the cylinder off before the controls, leak-check joints with soapy water, and change cylinders outdoors. London Fire Brigade says never use a barbecue on a balcony. If that is the only site, do not buy, whatever the listing copy says.
Burner layout is how you tell a small trolley from a family one. A 2+1 has two main burners plus a side burner. A 4+1 is the family trolley. A 6+1 is the wide cabinet, about 149 cm on the rows here. A single burner, as on the Weber Q and the cartridge grill, is one heat zone. Read the grate from the size bullet when an area field conflicts, and do not convert the broken field.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a wheeled 4+1 and you will buy Patio Gas plus a regulator if the carton omits them. The CosmoGrill Original 4+1 is about £199.99, at 4.4 from 1,036 reviews, score 88, with a stated 1,952 cm² grate. The included line is a lid and a rack. UK reviews say the hose was not in the box.
You can carry the grill, and a large weekly garden cook is not the job. The Campingaz Party Grill is about £96.01, at 4.6 from 4,208 reviews, score 92, about 4.9 kg, on a CV470 cartridge or an R907 cylinder. It is the best value here. A Weber Q is the cast-iron portable if you accept canisters and a higher shelf price.
You want the wide 6+1 and a cover in the title, and the garden can take about 39 kg. The CosmoGrill 6+1 with cover is about £299.99, at 4.5 from 366 reviews, score 90. The material line gives a 77 by 42 cm grate and says the hose is not included, at 37 mbar propane or 28 mbar butane. The body is about 149 cm wide. Reviews still mention rust.
The top pick is the CosmoGrill Original 4+1 at about £199.99. It scores 88 from 4.4 and 1,036 amazon.co.uk reviews, the largest trolley sample in this set, with a stated 1,952 cm² grate. The hose and regulator are not in the included list. The best value is the Campingaz Party Grill at about £96.01, score 92 from 4.6 and 4,208 reviews, a cartridge camp grill rather than a garden trolley. The Weber Q 1200N scores 100 from 5.0 and only 4 reviews, so that line is too thin for the top badge. None of these scores is a lab cook.
