The LotusGrill is a truly innovative bit of kit that makes impromptu barbecuing a breeze.

A truly new take on the humble charcoal based BBQ, it gives you the theatre and taste of proper charcoal with all the instant convenience of a gas BBQ. Failsafe, portable and always ready to cook in less than 5 minutes, this baby makes a snap decision to BBQ possible at any time.

you can pick it up when hot and turn it safely upside down!

Using a simple built in fan to achieve the magic, its party trick is that you can pick it up when hot and turn it safely upside down!…not sure why you’d want to. Just remember to take the food off first. Comes in some funky colours and a neat carry case too.

Around £110 for the small version.
