The Balcony Barbecue that lets city folks grill their dinner
-
It is one of those things that those of us living in high-rise apartments or small city flats must endure: the lack of space to hold a proper barbecue.
But now a firm has come up with an ingenious solution to allow city-dwellers to enjoy some outdoor cooking - with the invention of a barbecue that hooks over a balcony just like a window box.
The Balcony Barbecue costs £59.99 from Firebox.com and is large enough to grill a decent number of sausages or a couple of steaks. Lengthways you could even fit a whole fish or some meat kebabs.
'Living in the City certainly has many perks but it does mean that not everyone has the luxury of boundless green gardens and varnished oak decking to enjoy their summer,' Firebox.com say on their website, adding: 'but now the Balcony Barbecue has landed!'
The stainless steel grill can be mounted onto any balcony or railing or even attached to a wall for smaller gardens, and it it is portable, so can be unhooked and taken to the beach or park for a picnic.
The genius part? During the winter months the barbecue doubles up as a window box. Just turf the plants out when the sun comes out again, replace the grill part and you're back in business.
The Balcony Barbecue isn't the only clever gadget out there to thrill the grillers.
Try the BBQ Donut boat for size - an inflatable dingy with parasol and a fully loaded barbecue in the middle, for those moments where you want to float and eat at the same time. The £20,000 price tag (from Firebox) might put all but the really passionate barbecue fiends off, but just imagine the bragging rights at the local lido when you blow that baby up.
The BBQ Bear Paws, £14.99, also on Firebox, will let you pretend you're Wolverine while you're tossing your giant joints of meat around the grill.
At B&Q you can smoke up your meats with Jack Daniels woodchips, £6 a bag. Just throw them on the flames for an authentic smoked flavour.
Compact: The Hotspot portable barbecue folds down into a flat briefcase shape.
Colourful: Bodum mini picnic grill barbecue
Blue sky thinking: Landmann Piccolino 37cm Portable Charcoal Barbecue in turquoise
