Top pick: CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 6+1 with cover Best value: BROILUCK 2+1 – Best value on score per pound among the other rows at 50 or above, at about £89.99, score 68 from 3.5 and 71 ratings. Updated 22.10.2026.
A gas BBQ with a side burner is a wheeled LPG cart: a lidded main grate, plus a separate gas ring for a pan. You buy one in the UK when a garden or patio cook needs that extra flame for a sauce or a side, rather than a shelf that only holds plates. A side table and a charcoal side shelf are different products.
You recognise a suitable cart by a printed side-burner count of one, or by a bullet that states the side-ring output. A 4+1 or 6+1 label means that many main burners plus the ring. Check whether the included line names a hose and regulator, and quote only one heat figure when the wattage field and the bullets disagree. Use it outdoors, clear of fences, sheds, awnings and caravans. Do not use a barbecue on a balcony, and do not light it indoors or in a tent.
Those checks, in order, are in the [gas BBQ with side burner buying guide](/hub/grills-and-barbecues/gas-bbq-with-side-burner/sub/gas-bbq-with-side-burner-buying-guide). A green propane cylinder is the usual patio bottle.

The CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 6+1 with a 600D Oxford cover in the title is about £299.99 at 4.5 from 366 amazon.co.uk reviews. It uses the same model number, 93416, as the about £289.99 twin. UK reviews like the look against dearer six-burner carts and often mention the cover. Assembly still ranges from about 30 minutes to several hours, with unclear side-burner and gas-pipe pictures. Paint wear and corrosion under the cover appear from about a month to about three years, and bent panels on arrival make screws hard to fit for some buyers. The hose and regulator are not named in the included-components field, which lists the user manual. The cover is a title-and-bullet difference of about £10, not a different burner layout. Do not merge the 2,000 W field with the 12 kW or 14.5 kW lines.
Pros
6+1 layout with a 600D cover named in the title and the first bullet
4.5 from 366 ratings, and UK reviews praise group cooks
Same 77 × 42 cm grill bullet as the listing without a cover in the title
Cons
Hose and regulator are still not named on the included-components line
Rust and paint failure under the cover recur in UK reviews
Power fields still disagree: 2,000 W, 12 kW, 14.5 kW and a BTU line
Best for: You want the party 6+1 and you prefer the cover named on the same order, rather than buying weatherproofing later.
Less suitable: You only need four mains, or you already own a cover and would rather save about £10 on the twin listing.
The title and the first bullet name a 600D Oxford cover, described as UV and dust resistant. The included-components line names the user manual, not the cover.
Is this the same model as the 6+1 at about £289.99?
Both listings use model number 93416. This ASIN is the one whose title and first bullet include the cover, at about £299.99.
Do the power fields agree?
No. The bullets say 12 kW for the six main burners plus 2.5 kW on the side, and a material line says 14.5 kW total. The wattage field says 2,000 W.
Across 1,036 amazon.co.uk reviews at 4.4 stars, the CosmoGrill Original 4+1 at about £199.99 is the deepest file in this set. The bullets state four 7.2 kW main burners and a 2.1 kW side burner, piezo on each, a warming rack and castors. UK reviews call it sturdy once built, use the side ring for onions, and often say the money is fair. The hose and regulator are not in the included list, so some buyers had not cooked yet. Assembly is fiddly around the side-burner diagram, heat can start part-way along the grate, and paint or rust notes appear after a season. The wattage field prints 9.3 kW against the bullet line. Quote one figure. It is the top pick here on the star-and-volume score, not a lab medal.
Pros
Deepest UK review file in the set: 4.4 from 1,036 ratings
Bullets state four 7.2 kW mains and a 2.1 kW side burner, each with piezo
Warming rack, castors, bottom shelf and a lid thermometer are named
Cons
Hose and regulator are not in the included list
Fiddly side-burner diagram, and cooler heat at the front edge in some reviews
Wattage field prints 9.3 kW against the bullet line
Best for: You want four main burners plus a side ring for about four people, a long amazon.co.uk review trail, and you will buy the hose separately.
Less suitable: You need six mains for a party cart, fittings in the box, or a cover named in the title.
The CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 6+1 without a cover in the title is about £289.99 at 4.4 from 269 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets describe six mains at 12 kW total plus a 2.5 kW side burner. A material line says 14.5 kW, while the wattage field prints 2,000 W. Leave those lines separate. UK reviews like the area for groups and call the grease tray easier to clean than an older barbecue. Instructions are poor around the side burner. Tubing and a regulator are not supplied. Thin steel, rust within one or two years, and jets that failed appear in the same sample. One buyer could not light the side burner, and another found a knob that did not fit. It is the same model number, 93416, as the cover listing, without the cover claim.
Pros
Six main burners plus a stated 2.5 kW side burner
4.4 from 269 ratings, with praise for area and the grease tray
About £10 below the twin whose title names a cover
Cons
Hose and regulator are not in the box, and the side burner is the hard assembly step
Thin steel, rust and failed jets within a year or two in UK notes
Cooking-area field says 77 cm² against a 77 × 42 cm bullet
Best for: You regularly cook for a large party, you have two people for assembly, and you already have a cover or you plan to buy one separately.
Less suitable: You only feed about four people most weekends, or you want the cover named on the same ASIN title.
Six main burners plus one side burner. The heating-elements field says 7, which matches that 6+1 count.
Does this ASIN include the weatherproof cover?
No. A cover is not in the title or the included list. The cover version is a different ASIN, B07TN7QXR8, at about £299.99, with the same model number 93416.
Is the gas hose supplied?
It is not in the included list, which names only the user manual. UK reviews say the tubing and regulator were not in the box.
The CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 4+1, model 93411, sits at about £269.99 with 4.3 from 910 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets say four 2.5 kW mains and a 2.5 kW side burner. The wattage field also says 2.5 kW, so it does not show a five-burner total. UK reviews praise family cooks and parties, and some owners still use theirs after a couple of years. The hose and regulator are not in the box, instructions leave parts unmarked, and rust or chipped paint within months to about two years is a recurring note even when a cover is added later. Four locking castors and a 2,602 cm² surface field are the practical upsides against the Original at about £199.99. Pay the extra for the locking wheels and the larger printed area only if those matter more than the deeper Original review sample.
Pros
4.3 from 910 ratings, the second-deepest file after the Original
Four locking castors and a full-length warming rack are stated
Bullets print a 2.5 kW side burner beside four 2.5 kW mains
Cons
Hose and regulator are not included, and parts are described as unmarked
Rust and paint failure recur in UK reviews
The wattage field says 2.5 kW, not a five-burner total
Best for: You want a CosmoGrill 4+1 with locking castors and a larger printed cooking area, and you will budget for a hose, a regulator and rust care.
Less suitable: You want the longest review trail at a lower shelf price, or six main burners for a single party load.
The Campfire 4+1 Pro+ listing sits at about £169.99 with four main burners, a 2.5 kW side burner in the bullets, piezo ignition and a full-length warming rack. The amazon.co.uk line is 3.8 from only three reviews. One UK review says the buyer could not light anything until a regulator and hose were bought for about £20. The assembly bullet already says those parts are not included. The wattage field repeats 11.2 kW, one burner figure, while the bullets name four 11.2 kW burners plus the side ring. Do not multiply those lines into a total. The brand field says Touch of Venetian against a Campfire title. That is a naming conflict, not a second product. Thin review evidence keeps this row behind the CosmoGrill 4+1 carts.
Pros
Clear 4+1 layout with a stated 2.5 kW side burner in the bullets
The assembly bullet says the regulator and hose are not included
Stated cooking surface 2,275 cm² and weight 28 kg
Cons
Only three amazon.co.uk reviews, and the UK note is about missing fittings
Wattage field is 11.2 kW, not a five-burner total
Brand field Touch of Venetian conflicts with the Campfire title
Best for: You want a 4+1 trolley at about £169.99 and you will budget separately for a hose, a regulator and patio gas.
Less suitable: You need a deep UK review sample before buying, or a listing that already ships the gas fittings.
Across 71 amazon.co.uk reviews at 3.5 stars, the BROILUCK 2+1 is a wheeled gas cart at about £89.99 with two main burners, a left-side ring, and both heat fields printed as 8,700 W. UK reviews call it decent value once assembled, and one notes it heats quickly for a smaller cook. The same sample flags a faulty ignition switch, unclear cable routing and a lightweight build. A gas hose is not in the included list, and one UK review says you buy the pipe separately. Size and cooking-area lines disagree: 50 × 105 × 85 cm against 112 × 46 × 93 cm, and 7,000 cm² against 43 × 34 cm. Treat those as listing conflicts. It is best value here on score per pound among carts that clear 50, not because two mains match a six-burner party.
Pros
Lowest shelf price in the set, with a printed side burner and a temperature gauge
Both power fields agree at 8,700 W
UK reviewers who finish assembly often call it decent for a small cook
Cons
Ignition-switch and cable-routing complaints in UK reviews
Hose not in the included list, and the build is called lightweight
Size and cooking-area lines conflict, and the heating-elements field says 2
Best for: You want the cheapest wheeled 2+1 in this set, you will buy a hose and regulator, and you accept ignition fuss for a small household cook.
Less suitable: You need four or six main burners, a deep UK review file, or a cart that arrives ready to light without extra fittings.
The Campfire 4+1 Pro at about £169.99 mirrors the sister listing’s heat story: four 11.2 kW burners plus a 2.5 kW side burner in the bullets, and 11.2 kW on the wattage field. It carries 3.4 from 59 amazon.co.uk reviews. UK reviews praise the look once built, yet more often report a missing regulator, hose, valve or side-burner connection, flimsy grates and dented panels on arrival. Cooking racks described as too short leave food falling into the tray for some owners. Weight is printed as 29 kg, against 28 kg on the sister ASIN. The brand field says Touch of Venetian against a Campfire title. It is a different listing from the Pro+, not a spare for the Original.
Pros
Bullets state four mains plus a 2.5 kW side burner
Piezo, a warming rack and a bottom shelf with doors are stated
59 ratings, a larger UK sample than the three-review sister listing
Cons
3.4 stars, with missing hose, valve or side-burner connection notes
Flimsy build, short racks and transit damage in UK reviews
Wattage field shows 11.2 kW, not a merged total
Best for: You specifically want this Pro model at about £169.99, and you will check every side-burner joint and fitting before the first light.
Less suitable: You want the longest review trail in the set, or a cart that UK owners repeatedly describe as complete on arrival.
How is this different from the Campfire 4+1 Pro+ listing?
This ASIN is model 4+1 Pro, part GC4+1, at 29 kg, and the included line does not name a lid. The Pro+ is a different ASIN at the same about £169.99.
Are the regulator and hose included?
No. The assembly bullet says they are not included. UK reviews also mention a missing valve, hose or side-burner connection.
Does the listing include a cover?
No. A cover is not in the included list. One UK review says it did not come with a cover.
How we compared
Seven amazon.co.uk gas BBQ listings with a side burner were scored from 0 to 100. Stars contribute round(stars divided by 5, times 70). Review count contributes log10 of the count, times 10, capped at 30. A 4.4 from 1,036 ratings is 62 plus 30, which is 92. The top pick is the CosmoGrill Original 4+1, score 92, once. Best value is the BROILUCK 2+1 at about £89.99, score 68, the strongest score per pound among the other rows that still score at least 50. This is not a lab cook. A star line is not a claim that BS EN 498 or BS EN 484 is printed on the unit.

Gas BBQ with side burner buying guide
Confirm the side ring before the star count. A side table is a different product. In this set the hose is not on the included-components line, so plan that buy before the first light. Quote one heat figure when the wattage field and the bullets disagree. Shelf prices here run from about £89.99 to about £299.99. A 4.4 from 1,036 ratings is a different record from 3.8 from three ratings. None of this is a lab cook.
What is a gas BBQ with a side burner?
A gas BBQ with a side burner is a wheeled LPG cart. The main burners sit under a lidded grate. A separate gas ring, usually at the side, heats a pan. That ring is the point of the category. A side table, a side shelf and a charcoal side shelf hold plates or fuel. They are not this product. Before you compare price, confirm a side-burner count of one, or a bullet that states the side-burner output.
The cart belongs outdoors, on level ground, away from fences and sheds.
Best for
A garden cook for about four who will buy a hose and wants a real side ring
A party cook with two people to assemble a six-burner cart outdoors
Not ideal for
Anyone who needs a side table only, or a charcoal shelf, rather than a gas ring
A balcony, a room, a tent, an awning or a caravan
Mistakes to avoid
1
Buying a side table
A side table, a side shelf and a charcoal side shelf do not heat a pan. The listing needs a side-burner count of one, or a bullet that states the side-ring output.
2
Assuming the hose is in the box
None of the included-components lines in this set name a hose. Some bullets say the regulator and hose are not included. UK reviews describe that as a separate buy before the first light.
3
Merging the heat lines
Do not multiply a single 11.2 kW field by four, and do not quote 2,000 W as the total of a six-burner cart whose bullets say 12 kW on the mains. Leave the conflict visible. Do not light the side ring with the lid shut.
What to weigh up
Side burner, hose and pressure
High
The side ring is the reason to be in this category. A suitable listing prints a side-burner count of one, or a bullet with a side-burner output in kilowatts. A 4+1 label means four main burners plus that ring. A 6+1 means six mains plus the ring. A side table, a side shelf or a charcoal shelf is a different product, even when the title says side.
The hose is the second half of the same check. None of the included-components lines in this set name a hose.
Heat line, people and place
High
Read heat from one line at a time. Several listings print a wattage field that does not match the burner bullets. Quote the bullets or quote the field. Do not add them, and do not multiply one burner figure by four to invent a total. A field of 2,000 W is not the output of a six-burner cart whose bullets say 12 kW across the mains plus 2.5 kW on the side, even when a material line also says 14.5 kW. Leave the conflict visible. None of these figures is a grate temperature measured in a lab.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
🏠
About four, and you will buy a hose
You cook for about four and you expect to buy the hose. The CosmoGrill Original 4+1 is about £199.99, at 4.4 from 1,036 ratings, score 92, with a 2.1 kW side burner in the bullets. The hose is not in the included list. The wattage field prints 9.3 kW against four 7.2 kW mains plus that ring.
You want two mains plus a side ring and you will live with ignition fuss. The BROILUCK 2+1 is about £89.99, at 3.5 from 71 ratings, score 68. Both power fields say 8,700 W. The cooking-area lines disagree, and the hose is not in the included list.
You want six mains plus a side ring, and two people can assemble it. The CosmoGrill Pro Deluxe 6+1 with a cover in the title is about £299.99, at 4.5 from 366 ratings, score 89, model 93416. The cover is in the title and the first bullet. The hose is still not on the included-components line. The twin without that title claim is about £289.99.
Which gas BBQ with a side burner is the top pick for 2026?
The top pick is the CosmoGrill Original 4+1 at about £199.99. It scores 92: 62 from 4.4 stars and 30 from 1,036 amazon.co.uk ratings, the highest score in this set. The bullets state four 7.2 kW main burners and a 2.1 kW side burner. The hose is not in the included list. The wattage field prints 9.3 kW, which is not that bullet line. This is not a lab cook.
Which gas BBQ with a side burner is the best value?
The best value is the BROILUCK 2+1 at about £89.99. It scores 68 from 3.5 stars and 71 ratings, the strongest score per pound among the other rows that still score at least 50. Both power fields say 8,700 W. The hose is not in the included list, and UK reviews mention a faulty ignition switch. It does not outscore the Original, and two main burners are not a party cart.
How much does a gas BBQ with a side burner cost on amazon.co.uk?
Shelf prices in this set run from about £89.99 to about £299.99. The 2+1 is about £89.99. Two 4+1 carts sit at about £169.99, and the Original 4+1 is about £199.99. A locking-castor 4+1 is about £269.99. The 6+1 without a cover in the title is about £289.99, and the same model number with a 600D cover in the title is about £299.99. These amazon.co.uk prices move.
Is the hose included with a gas BBQ with a side burner?
Not on the included-components lines in this set. Some bullets say the regulator and hose are not included. UK reviews on several carts say the hose was a separate buy before the first light. Liquid Gas UK describes butane at about 28–30 mbar and propane at 37 mbar, with new regulators marked BS EN 16129. Fitting choices are in the gas regulator comparison. Soap-test the joint, and turn the cylinder off after cooking.
Can you use a gas BBQ with a side burner on a balcony?
No. London Fire Brigade guidance is not to use a barbecue on a balcony. The NHS says not indoors or in a tent. GOV.UK fire-safety guidance adds awnings and caravans, and says not to move the barbecue while it is hot. A star rating is not permission for a balcony, and none of these scores is a clearance measurement. A fixed gas pipe is work for a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Why do the heat figures on these listings disagree?
Several listings print one figure in the wattage field and another in the bullets. Do not add them, and do not multiply a single burner line by four. A 2,000 W field is not the total of a six-burner cart whose bullets say 12 kW on the mains plus 2.5 kW on the side. Where a material line also says 14.5 kW, leave that line visible rather than picking a merged number. These are listing conflicts, not a measured grate temperature.
How many burners do you need on a gas BBQ with a side burner?
As a BBC Gardeners’ World rule of thumb, one or two burners suit a family of four, and at least four main burners suit six or more. Count the side ring when you size the cylinder, but the ring does not add a main burner. Calor points to 5 kg for up to three burners and 13 kg for four or more. A 4+1 or a 6+1 is not a three-burner appliance. Bottle size here is published guidance, not a test of these carts.
Do these listings meet BS EN 498 or BS EN 484?
Do not claim that they do. BS EN 498:2012 is the outdoor LPG barbecue standard and points integral burners of another kind to EN 484. BS EN 484:2019 says a side burner of a barbecue is in that standard and the barbecue body is not. None of these amazon.co.uk listings print either number. A score from stars and review volume is not a certificate, and it is not a lab cook.
Our verdict
The top pick is the CosmoGrill Original 4+1 at about £199.99. It is the highest score in this set: 92, from 4.4 and 1,036 amazon.co.uk ratings, with four main burners and a 2.1 kW side burner in the bullets. The hose is not in the included list, and the wattage field prints 9.3 kW against that bullet line. The best value is the BROILUCK 2+1 at about £89.99, score 68 from 3.5 and 71 ratings, where both power fields say 8,700 W. It does not outscore the Original. None of these scores is a measured grate temperature or permission to cook on a balcony.
