Portable BBQs come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some are designed for use on a tabletop like the Flaming Coals Mini Spit Roaster or Sizzler range of gas BBQs, while others can be placed on the ground or over a fire pit like the Auspit camping spit.

There are also portable BBQs that come with their own stands to cater for larger groups of people like the Flaming Coals Portable Spit Roaster Range. When choosing a portable BBQ Spit, it's important to consider how you'll be using it. If you plan on cooking for large groups of people, then you'll need a larger model. But if you're only cooking for yourself or a small group, then a smaller portable BBQ Spit will suffice.

There are two main types of portable BBQs: gas and charcoal. Gas portable BBQs run on either an LPG bottle on the ground or the bayonet fitting in your camper or caravan, and they're easy to set up and use. Charcoal portable BBQs require a bit more effort to set up, but they're perfect for those who want that authentic BBQ taste. If you're not sure which type of portable BBQ is right for you, then read on for our reviews of the best gas and charcoal portable BBQs!

Gas portable BBQs are a good choice for those who want an easy-to-use option. They're quick to set up and you can start cooking almost immediately. Plus, there's no need to worry about charcoal or firelighters. However, gas portable BBQs can be more expensive than their charcoal counterparts & they will not give you the rich smoke flavour charcoal will.

If you're looking for an authentic BBQ taste, then a charcoal portable BBQ is the way to go. Charcoal portable BBQs require a little bit more effort to set up, but they're well worth it for that perfect grilled flavour. Keep in mind that you'll need to purchase charcoal and a Charcoal Chimney or Charcoal Starter Wand separately.
