We update our best BBQ buyer's guide regularly at this time of year, which means we often get the first look at new launches and best buys. This Aldi BBQ is not on our list (because we know it won't be around for long enough to be a reliable buy) but we really, really want to get our hands on one RIGHT NOW. 

Why? It's brilliant! This Dark Grey Portable Charcoal BBQ is battery operated. Say what now? Yes – it's a four-battery-operated charcoal grill with an integrated fan that's perfect for speedy barbecuing. Read on to find out more.

There's more: this barbecue features a 36cm diameter stainless steel grill rack, a dishwasher-safe reflector bowl, removable charcoal basket, a blue control light to show when its in operation, silicone feet and a storage bag with two handles. 

An ideal purchase for these warmer days we're having, it's a compact buy you can slip in the car to take on days out. Charcoal is not included, but, hey, we can forgive them that. What's more? The barbecue is guaranteed for three years and comes with an equally compact price tag of just £49.99.
