The best camping gas barbecues, compared.
Top pick: Campingaz Party Grill 400 CV – Largest review sample in the set, 4.6 from 4,208, with a bag, three heat settings and a wok-style lid described in the bullets. Best value: Campingaz Party Grill 200 CV – About £56.01 for a named CV 470 Plus grill, a 1,024 cm² cooking-area field and 1,870 reviews at 4.6. Updated 16.10.2026.
A camping gas barbecue is a portable outdoor cooker for grilling or griddling. The twelve amazon.co.uk listings do not share one fitting. Flat plates, lidded propane grills and one dual-fuel suitcase sit in the same set. Judge the named valve first, then the plate, the weight, and whether the listing contradicts itself. A CV cartridge, an EN 417 canister and a UK propane hose do not interchange. The [cartridge or cylinder](/hub/portable-grills/camping-gas-barbecue/sub/camping-gas-barbecue-cartridge-or-cylinder) page is that fork on its own. Fuel is extra unless the components line includes it, and UK reviews dispute the 400 cartridge line. Scores use listing fields and UK review notes.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Which fuel do you already buy?
The Campingaz Party Grill 400 CV is listed at £96.01 and 2,000 W, about 4.9 kg, and the first 50 UK reviews in a file of 4,208 ratings averaging 4.6 use the grill, the griddle and the wok-style lid for camping meals. One of those reviews fitted eight sausages and four burgers at once, and another describes a family of four. The bullets claim a carry bag and a run of up to three hours on a CV 470 Plus cartridge at 145 g/h, which is a listing claim. The components line names a gas cartridge, and UK reviews of this ASIN repeatedly say it was not in the box. Ignition does not always catch, reviewers say to keep a lighter, and one unit would not turn far enough to pass gas and went back. One UK review says the flame went out under the griddle and the writer went to A&E with suspected butane exposure; that is the reviewer’s report, the bullets do not describe a flame-failure cut-off, and the cooking-area field of 1.51 cm² does not describe the plate. It is the top pick in this comparison because the review sample is the largest and the bag, three heat settings and wok lid are actually described, provided you buy the cartridge yourself and you treat the title’s R907 line as unexplained.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Car campers who already buy CV 470 Plus cartridges and want a bag plus a lid they can use as a wok.
Less suitable: A weekend that assumes the cartridge is in the box, a UK propane hose, or a flat plate with no lid.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the gas cartridge in the box?
The included-components line says yes. UK reviews of this ASIN say the cartridge was not supplied. The bullets name a CV 470 Plus cartridge.
Does it come with a bag?
The bullets say a carry bag is included, and that the cooking parts fit in the body.
What output does the listing state?
The wattage field says 2,000 watts and the heating-power field says 2 kilowatts. A run time of up to 3 hours is a bullet claim, not a measurement in this file.
The Party Grill 200 CV is listed at £56.01 with a stated 2,000 W and a cooking area of 1,024 cm², and 1,870 amazon.co.uk reviews average 4.6. Across the first 50 UK reviews, owners pack it into a car, a motorhome or a boat and use the water tray and parts they put in a dishwasher. A listing claim puts a litre boil at 4 minutes 18 seconds and a cartridge run at up to three hours at 145 g/h; those lines belong to this listing. The heating-power field also says 2,000 kilowatts beside the 2,000 watt line, so the watt figure is the one to keep and the kilowatt line is a catalogue error. The plate is domed, reviewers say food rolls, and the lid is for transport, with no bag in the bullets. Piezo ignition arrived loose in one review and stopped on the second use in another, and plastic lugs on the cartridge connection broke when they were overtightened. The field weight is 3.3 kg and the bullets say 2.84 kg. It is the best value here, because £56.01 buys a named CV 470 Plus grill with a large review count, if you accept a dome and a cartridge bought separately.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Two people, sometimes three or four cooked in batches, who already use Campingaz CV 470 Plus cartridges.
Less suitable: A flat plancha, a boot that needs a separate bag, or a propane cylinder you already own.
Specifications
Common questions
Which cartridge does the 200 CV name?
The bullets say a Campingaz CV 470 Plus cartridge. It is not listed as included.
Why do the power fields disagree?
Wattage says 2,000 watts. Heating power says 2000 kilowatts. Both lines are in the listing. The kilowatt line is not a second measured output.
Is there a carry bag?
The bullets describe a lid for transport and parts that fit in the body. They do not list a bag.
The Campingaz Othello 1 CV is a 2.8 kW plancha, with a 30 by 45 cm enamelled plate that matches the 1,350 cm² field, listed at £159.99 and 10.5 kg. UK reviews in this file, which average 4.6 from 426 and which name the Othello, describe steaks on Campingaz bottles, an easy grease drain, and one camping week with a group of about 10. The same texts say it is heavier than expected, better kept on a table than carried each evening, and that the control-knob direction feels counterintuitive. The bullets include a hose and regulator and say the CV 470 Plus cartridge is extra. The components field lists only a user manual, so those two lines disagree. One UK review could not buy the gas locally. The identical review block also sits on the Attitude2go listing, and it is used here because the titles name this plancha. You lift 10.5 kg once for a garden table or a pitch, and you leave it if the plate has to come out of the car every night.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A garden table or a camping week where 10.5 kg is lifted once and you already use CV 470 Plus cartridges.
Less suitable: A daily carry from the car, a grate under a lid, or a site where Campingaz cartridges are hard to buy.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the cartridge included?
No. The bullets say the Othello runs on a CV 470 Plus cartridge, not included, and that the hose and regulator are included. The components field lists only a user manual.
Is this a grill grate?
No. It is a plancha. The bullets describe a 30 by 45 cm enamelled steel surface and a grease drain, with no direct flame contact claimed.
Do the reviews match another ASIN?
The review text in the Attitude2go listing is the same block as this Othello file. Use these reviews for the Othello, not for the Attitude.
The Campingaz Attitude2go CV bullets describe a lidded grill at £190.96, 13 kg, closed size 59 x 52 x 36 cm in the bullets, with a stated 2.4 kW, an enamelled cast-iron grid of 1,248 cm² and a thermometer in the lid. The connection named in the bullets is CV 470 Plus with Easy Clic, and the field also prints 23.2 x 20.5 x 14.2 cm, so the two size lines do not agree. The best-seller rank sits in Charcoal Barbecues while the fuel field says gas. The bullets say it ships assembled and include a hose and cartridge connection. They do not say the cartridge is in the box. The 4.6 from 426 line, and the review text under it, are byte-identical to the Othello file, and one title names the Othello, so those comments are not Attitude experience. There is no separate UK sample in this file for the lid, the 13 kg carry or the piezo. You can read the bullets if you want a closed CV grill with a thermometer, and the star average on this ASIN is not evidence for it.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer who is choosing from the bullets alone: a closed CV 470 Plus grill with a thermometer, at 13 kg.
Less suitable: Anyone treating the 426 reviews or the 4.6 average as experience of this ASIN.
Specifications
Common questions
Which cartridge do the bullets name?
Campingaz CV 470 Plus, connected with Easy Clic. The bullets include a hose and cartridge connection. They do not say the cartridge is in the box.
Can the 426 reviews be read as Attitude reviews?
No. The review block is byte-identical to the Othello listing, and one title names the Othello. The 4.6 from 426 line is the same on both ASINs.
Is assembly required?
The field says no. The bullets say it ships assembled. The dimension field and the bullet dimensions still disagree.
The CAMPLUX FoldGo FG16GB is listed at 2.8 kg and £99.99, folding to 40 x 28.5 x 10.5 cm, with a 32 x 23.5 cm grid and a stated 2 kW. Eleven UK reviews under a 4.6 average from 24 ratings describe gas or charcoal, a fold small enough for a caravan, and space for about four burgers in one cook. One reviewer carried it to Loch Muick. The bullets say standard gas canisters and do not name EN 417 or a Campingaz thread. Assembly is required: the listing claims about 60 seconds with no tools, while a review describes poorly translated instructions and about five minutes. The charcoal side takes longer to set up. One review’s folded size, about 34 by 17 cm and barely over two kilograms, does not match the 2.8 kg and 40 cm fields. The body is the case in the bullets, and one review instead mentions a bag.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A caravan or a walk-in pitch where you want charcoal as well as an unnamed gas canister in a 2.8 kg fold.
Less suitable: A cupboard that already holds one named cartridge family, or a crowd larger than a couple and about four burgers.
Specifications
Common questions
Can it use charcoal?
Yes. The fuel field says charcoal and gas, and the bullets describe both. The gas canister standard is not named.
How does it pack?
The bullets say it weighs 2.8 kg, folds to 10.5 cm and is its own carry case. One review instead mentions a bag and a different folded size.
Is assembly required?
The field says yes. The bullets say about 60 seconds with no tools. A review describes poorly translated instructions and about five minutes.
The ROVSUN two-burner griddle is a flat enamel plate at £74.99 and 7.1 kg, with the regulator in the box and a stated field output of 4.8 kW beside a 20,000 BTU bullet. The listing average is 4.5 from 98 reviews, and this file contains five reviews headed United Kingdom, so the themes are that handful. Those UK texts say it heats quickly and that the two burners handle breakfast and burgers once the enamel is seasoned. Until then food sticks, and one reviewer calls the flat top a grease fest because fat stays on the plate until the drain. Eggs slide toward the drain unless the plate is propped. One reviewer did not find it very portable. No broken part repeats in those five texts. The cylinder size is not named.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A car cook who already has a propane cylinder for the included regulator and wants a flat plate.
Less suitable: A ribbed grate, a lid, or a buyer who needs more than five UK reviews before trusting the 4.5 average.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the regulator included?
Yes. Included components are the propane griddle, a regulator and an instruction manual. The bullets say no extra parts are required. They do not name the cylinder size.
Is the plate ribbed?
No. The title and a UK review describe a flat top. The review says grease stays on the plate until the drain.
How many UK reviews are in the listing?
The listing line is 4.5 from 98. The file contains five reviews headed United Kingdom.
The Weber Traveler Compact is listed at £322.01, with wheels, an automatic lid lock and a cooking area of 1,872 cm². Twelve UK reviews under a 4.5 average from 30 ratings say it is big enough for a family of four, that one cook served six, and that the lid makes it more useful than an open plate. The bullets claim up to four people, 12 burgers or 15 sausages, while the field weight is 18.1 kg and the bullets say 17 kg. Assembly is required, the components field lists a battery and a user manual, and no output figure is printed. The bullets do not name the cartridge, and a UK review says disposable EN 417 screw cartridges, sold separately. Price is the criticism that repeats, and no mechanical failure repeats in those 12 texts. You look at it when a car boot, wheels and a lid for four people matter more than £322, and you pass it when the fuel has to be named on the listing before you order.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A car boot with room for about 18 kg, when you want wheels and a lid for four and you can buy the cartridge the review names.
Less suitable: A carry to the pitch on foot, a CV cartridge you already own, or a listing that must name the gas before you pay.
Specifications
Common questions
What cartridge does the specification field name?
None. A UK review says disposable EN 417 screw cartridges, sold separately. That is a review, not the bullet list.
How many people do the bullets claim?
Up to 4 people, with a claim of 12 burgers or 15 sausages. The cooking-area field is 1,872 cm².
Is assembly required?
Yes. Included components are a battery and a user manual. The bullets add wheels and an automatic lid lock.
At 2.9 kg and a stated 1,350 W, the black Campingaz Party Grill is the lightest of the three Party Grills in this set, listed at £43.92 with 2,749 amazon.co.uk reviews averaging 4.4. The first 50 UK reviews use it for two people on car, beach and fishing trips, and they praise a non-stick plate plus a water reservoir that makes cleaning easier. The bullets name CV470 and CV300 cartridges and a piezo igniter, and one review says the fitting is the push-in bottle. A listing claim puts a 1 litre boil at 5 minutes 40 seconds. The same file prints 32.5 cm square and also 12.8 cm square, plus a cooking area of 100.48 cm², which cannot be the plate those reviews describe. Legs are hard to unclip once they snap in, there is no carry bag, and heat sits in the middle so food has to be moved. Piezo sticks or fails to spark in more than one review.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Two people on a car, beach or fishing trip who already use a Campingaz push-in CV cartridge and will pack it without a bag.
Less suitable: A screw-thread canister, a flat plate, or a weekend that depends on a carry bag and legs that release easily.
Specifications
Common questions
Which cartridge does the Party Grill listing name?
The bullets say CV470 and CV300. A review says it takes the push-in bottle, not a screw-on canister. The cartridge is not in the included-components line.
Does the listing include a carry case?
No. Included components are a lid and a pan. Reviews also say there is no bag.
Is assembly required?
The field says no. Reviews still describe clip-in legs that can be hard to remove.
The George Foreman GFSBBQ1 is listed at £125.00 with a UK regulator and hose in the included-components line, and 287 reviews average 4.4. The first 50 UK reviews say it is robust, straightforward to put together, and quick to heat, after which you turn the control down. Output is printed as 8,000 BTU and as 3,500 W, the cooking-area field is 1,850 cm², and the weight is 10 kg in the field against 7.5 kg in the bullets. The dimension lines give both 50 x 70 x 34 cm and 19.7 x 27.6 x 13.4 cm. Ignition is piezo and takes a couple of presses, and one motorhome owner called the supplied hose short and bought a longer one. The bullets do not say whether there is a lid, one review says food sticks on the metal plate, and the cylinder size is not named. It is the listing in this set that puts a UK hose in the box, if you already own the cylinder and can live with the two weights.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A motorhome or patio where you already own the cylinder and want the UK hose in the box.
Less suitable: A CV cartridge cupboard, a confirmed lid, or a boot that cannot take the larger of the two printed sizes.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a UK regulator in the box?
Yes. Included components say the GFSBBQ1 with a UK regulator and hose. The bullets do not name the cylinder size.
Does the listing say it has a lid?
The bullets do not say whether there is a lid. They do name an integrated thermostat and fixed legs.
Why are there two weights?
The item-weight field says 10 kg. The bullets say 7.5 kg. Both figures are printed. Neither was weighed for this page.
The Weber Q 1100N is a lidded single-burner grill at £289.00 and 9.1 kg, with porcelain-enamelled cast-iron grates and a built-in thermometer. Eleven UK reviews in a listing of 4.4 from 76 ratings praise even heat, easy ignition and a short assembly with a cross-head screwdriver for the handle and canister cage. The bullets state 2.93 kW, the heating-power field says 12,000 BTU, and the wattage field says 230 W, so three output lines are printed and left unreconciled. The cooking-area field is 1,302 cm² and the bullets say 1,290 cm², with a claim of space for nine burgers. The bullets do not name the gas. UK reviews describe Weber’s small screw-on canisters, with the regulator and hose in the box, and a further adapter for a Calor or Flo Gas cylinder that one reviewer priced at about £55. Canisters are not in the box, and reviewers call them expensive. No repeated broken part appears in those 11 reviews.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A motorhome or patio where you will pay £289 and then buy the small Weber canister the reviews describe.
Less suitable: A pitch whose only fuel is a CV 470 Plus cartridge, or a buyer who needs the gas named in the bullets.
Specifications
Common questions
Which gas bottle does the Q 1100N listing name?
The bullets do not name one. UK reviews describe Weber’s small screw-on canisters, with the regulator and hose in the box, and a further adapter for a Calor or Flo Gas cylinder.
What output is printed?
Three figures are printed: 2.93 kW in the bullets, 12,000 BTU in the heating-power field, and 230 watts in the wattage field. They are not reconciled.
Is assembly required?
The field says yes. A review says the handle and canister cage are a few screws and a cross-head screwdriver.
The Char-Broil X200 Grill2Go weighs 10.8 kg, asks for assembly, and the bullets specify a 16.4 oz disposable propane cylinder sold separately, at £157.97. Across 40 UK reviews in a listing of 909 ratings at 4.3, owners praise even cooking with less burnt food, including on a boat and in a motorhome, when the regulator locks. The same reviews repeat a regulator that sticks, will not lock or blows out, and one that popped off. One review calls the regulators unsafe, and this file has no separate lab note beside that sentence. Output is printed as 8,000 BTU and as 2,800 W, and a 220 V field sits beside a propane bullet. Bullets claim up to 50 percent juicier food and up to 30 percent less gas, and those lines stay claims. Disposable cylinders are called expensive, and output drops as they empty. A slight breeze blew the flame out in one review.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Two people who will buy that 16.4 oz disposable cylinder and can return a regulator that will not lock.
Less suitable: A UK patio cylinder as standard kit, a charcoal-style heat range, or a breeze-exposed pitch with no wind break.
Specifications
Common questions
What gas does the X200 listing specify?
The bullets say a portable 16.4 ounce disposable liquid propane cylinder, sold separately. Reviews also mention owners who added a hose to a patio bottle. That hose is not the bullet.
Are the infrared savings measured here?
No. The bullets claim up to 50 percent juicier food and up to 30 percent less gas. Those lines stay claims.
What do the reviews say about the regulator?
Across the 40 UK reviews, a sticking, unlocking or blowing-out regulator is a repeated complaint, including one that popped off.
The Greenfields stove with a grill plate is £34.99, measures 43 x 30 x 12 cm on the listing, and the bullets add a plate, drip tray, brush, six skewers and tongs beside a carry case. Eleven UK reviews sit under a 3.8 average from 29 ratings. Praise is size, a case and ease, and one review reports about 20 chicken thighs in an hour. The fuel field says only Gas, so this file does not name EN 417, a Campingaz cartridge or a UK hose. One reviewer says it does not get hot enough, and another needed a windbreak before the heat was acceptable. One unit stopped working after two uses, and the reviewer says the seller cited the 30-day window. Size is described as enough for two or three. The low shelf price still leaves the valve unnamed.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A two- or three-person cook only after the parcel or a revised listing names the canister.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a named CV, EN 417 or UK hose fitting before they travel.
Specifications
Common questions
Which gas cartridge does it take?
The listing does not say. Fuel type is Gas. Reviews mention gas bottles and do not name EN 417 or a Campingaz cartridge.
What is in the box?
The components field says a carry case. The bullets also list a grill plate, drip tray, basting brush, six skewers and tongs.
What do the UK reviews argue about?
Eleven UK reviews. Praise is size and ease. One says it does not get hot enough. One says it stopped working after two uses.
Twelve amazon.co.uk camping gas barbecues were scored from the listing fields and the UK review notes checked on 15 October 2026. The blocks are stars, review volume, the named fitting and cook surface, price against that job, and the UK review pattern. There was no lab cook. The weights below sum to 100.
Stars
22%Printed average, unless the review file is another ASIN. The Attitude2go 4.6 from 426 block matches the Othello file, so that model scores 0 on stars.
Review volume

Price against that job
14%Shelf price against a fitting you can buy and a sample you can read. The £56.01 Party Grill 200 takes the highest price mark in this set.
UK review pattern
18%Praise after repeated faults, thin samples and unsafe-symptom reports. A regulator that popped off, or a flame-out report, sits in this block.
Start with the valve you can actually buy, then the plate, then the weight. These twelve listings share a product type and not a fitting. A photograph of a blue lid is not a CV 470 Plus cartridge, and a hose in one box is not a screw canister in another. Price bands below are the twelve shelf prices, not a survey of every camping gas barbecue in Britain. Fuel is extra unless that components line includes it. The Party Grill 400 line is disputed.
A camping gas barbecue in this comparison is a portable outdoor LPG cooker for grilling or griddling. The twelve amazon.co.uk listings checked on 15 October 2026 run from about £34.99 to about £322.01, and they do not share one valve. BS EN 521:2019 is the portable outdoor LPG appliance standard, up to 3 kW in the BSI scope, and BS EN 498:2012 covers outdoor LPG barbecues.
A CV 470 Plus cartridge, an EN 417 screw canister, a 16.4 oz disposable propane cylinder and a UK hose are different parts. The Party Grill 200 instructions say other brands may be dangerous. Do not force a cartridge past the click.
The Party Grill 400 field reads 1.51 cm² and the base Party Grill reads 100.48 cm². Those figures do not describe the plates in the UK reviews. Prefer the bullet that matches the plate, and still treat it as a listing.
A 230 V or 220 V field beside a gas fuel line is not a BS 1363 plug. The Weber Q wattage field of 230 W sits next to 2.93 kW and 12,000 BTU. Keep the gas fitting. Do not refill a disposable cartridge from a review tip.
The first check is the valve, because these twelve listings do not share one. CV 470 Plus, CV 300 Plus, an EN 417 screw cartridge, a disposable 16.4 oz propane cylinder, and a UK hose and regulator are different parts. The Campingaz Party Grill 200 instructions name CV 470 Plus and CV 300 Plus only, and say other brands may be dangerous. The base Party Grill bullets say CV470 and CV300. The 400 bullets name CV 470 Plus, and the title also says R907, which this file does not explain.
After the valve, look at the plate and what you will lift. A domed Party Grill plate, a flat plancha and a grate under a lid cook differently. UK reviews of the smaller Party Grills say sausages slide. The ROVSUN is enamel, not a ribbed grate, and five UK texts say grease stays until the drain. The Othello is a 30 by 45 cm enamelled plancha at 10.5 kg, and UK reviews treat it as a table more than a daily carry.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You already buy Campingaz CV 470 Plus cartridges and you want a bag plus a lid you can use as a wok. The Party Grill 400 CV is the match at about £96.01 if you buy the cartridge yourself. UK reviews of this ASIN say it was not in the box.
You will lift about 10 to 13 kg for a grate under a lid. The Char-Broil X200 is 10.8 kg, with a stainless grate and a lid, on a 16.4 oz disposable propane cylinder sold separately. UK reviews repeat a regulator that sticks, will not lock or blows out.
You already own a patio or motorhome cylinder and you want the UK hose in the box. The George Foreman GFSBBQ1 lists that hose and regulator at about £125. The cylinder size is not named, and the weight is printed as both 10 kg and 7.5 kg.
Twelve amazon.co.uk listings put the Campingaz Party Grill 400 CV first for a car camper who already buys CV 470 Plus cartridges and will buy the cartridge separately. The Party Grill 200 CV is the best value at about £56.01 when a named CV 470 Plus grill and a large review count matter more than a flat plate. Skip a model whose valve is unnamed, and do not treat the Attitude2go star line as reviews of that ASIN.
Campingaz Party Grill 400 CV
Largest review sample in the set, 4.6 from 4,208, with a bag, three heat settings and a wok-style lid described in the bullets.
Campingaz Party Grill 200 CV
About £56.01 for a named CV 470 Plus grill, a 1,024 cm² cooking-area field and 1,870 reviews at 4.6.
