Aside from the porcelain-enamelled, cast iron cooking grate, the Lumin Compact also ships with a pair of stainless steel trays that are used for steaming and smoking. Simply fill the lower tray with water or wet wood chips and use the top-mounted perforated tray to cook the ingredients. Since the tray is half the size of the grill, it leaves enough space for cooking other traditional BBQ fare. The Masterbuilt’s albeit cheap-looking stamped steel grate provides 200 square inches of grilling space – big enough for a party of four to six. The electric fan, meanwhile, is powered by either four AA batteries (up to six hours running time) or the provided AC cord. The whole shebang is controlled via a knob on the front that regulates the fan speed and therefore the internal temperature, and this means that it’s pretty easy to maintain a consistent level of heat, rather like a pellet grill. The large adjustable vents also help in this regard. This eminently portable charcoal burner doesn’t sport any groundbreaking technological features because it is, to all intents and purposes, just a square container with a shallow charcoal tray and a steel grill on top. Ben Tish, owner of Sicilian-Moorish influenced London restaurant Norma, gives his verdict on that age old question - what's best? Charcoal or briquettes?"Lump wood charcoal is superior in flavour to briquettes due to the fact there aren't any chemicals or binders in there to mask or skew the flavours.

This subject is an area of debate. Some claim that charcoals offer the very best flavour, while others claim gas gives the same result. Then, to make it more complicated, there are gas barbecues that use gas flames to heat charcoals. Once finished, the leftover fats and oils are cooked down by the heat of the egg meaning all that's left is an easily swept away ash, leaving you ready to cook again the next time. It's deep though so you may want to roll your sleeves up before diving into the ash pile. A temperature gauge and airflow control mean you can accurately bring your Egg up or down to temperatures within a few degrees and maintain this throughout cooking with very little charcoal. Accessory-wise, it comes with a snuffer cap, transporter castors and two rather beautiful royal mahogany shelves for storing plates, condiments or utensils. This definitely isn’t the cheapest of BBQs but if you’re looking to invest in something that will last a very long time, we think it’s worth it. Whether you take a leisurely pace on a camping trip, or you like to go all out and thrill your senses with a spot of kayaking, we have you covered in any eventuality.

Charcoal barbecues may offer an authentic grilling experience, but they don't offer the same convenience and ease as gas variants. Easy to light, gas barbecues do not require the same wait while they heat up. What's more, you can cook for more people thanks to the larger sizes that are possible when using gas as a cooking medium.

The Navigator just pips the evergreen Traeger Ranger to the two spot by dint of its lower weight (19.7kgs against 27kgs) and simple but very clever patented Flame Broiler Lever that opens vents in the flame deflector directly above the fire pot. This allows the Navigator to sear steaks over an open flame – something that most pellet grills are incapable of.Like the Traeger Ranger reviewed below, the Pit Boss Navigator 150 uses wood pellets, electricity and a computer processor instead of charcoal or gas, and this means you can set the temperature, load ingredients on to the ample 250 square inch grate and leave it for pretty much the entire cooking process while you chat to your guests.
