I recently bought a table top gas bbq off ebay for about £25. Had to add to the lava rock but is really good value for the money. Is powerful enough to use as an outdoor cooker as well as coping with bbq for 4 people. Can also cook with the lid on if necessary.

+1 , gooutdoors have one, inc lava. Great value, you add your own hose and reg to suit. Much better than Cadac, real BBQ!

Note to self - pick up some spare bits of lava next summer when I go to Iceland.

I have had a few portable gas bbq's over the years and I have to say, most, if not all, have been rubbish. Then I discovered the Weber BabyQ, which whilst expensive, is a high quality product, which grills food perfectly - every time. It's also very easy to clean with the stove enamelled grill plates. Downside is that it's a bit heavy but since I carry it in the car, this isn't much of an issue.
I like it so much that I have just bought a second one since I am doing a party for 20 for my wife's 'big' birthday, next month whilst we are away in the caravan. This one, obviously won't be converted to plug into the van, and I will run it from the large canisters designed for it which I understand are supposed to give up to 5 hrs grilling time.
It easily copes with feeding 4 people and with a bit of jiggling around of food, can cope with enough for 8. I can assure you, you won't be disappointed - just a question of whether or not you can justify the expense but in the long term, I think it represents better value than all the money I have wasted in the past on those that didn't do the job.

I know this is some what tongue in cheek CY but you will also pick up a hefty fine if you so much touch any, particularly if it has moss of lichen attached. Lovely country, lovely people but very protective, was told it takes 500 years to regenerate 50 sq mm.

You may achieve maximum versility if you run both BBQs via quick release gas connectors.
Fit a short length of gas hose to both BBQs. Fit a quick release male fitting to the lose ends. Then make up two lengths of interconnecting hose, fitting one with a caravan gas point compatible connector (beware, there are two types) and fit a compatible gas regulator to the other. Fit quick release female connectors to both lose ends. Please do take the time to secure all fittings with jubilee clips.
You will now be able to run either BBQ from either supply, enjoy the benefit of untethering your BBQs from trailing tubes during transport or storage and consider a third interconnecting hose for occasions when you want to carry an alternative size bottle.

I would go with that. Weber are amazingly good BBQS - well built and the food is scrumptious! They are priced at a premium but you get a premium product and if ever one of my two wear out, I know exactly what I will replace it with- another Weber!!

Cadac Safari Chef does for us, legs fold up and packs away into a bag. At home just use a 6kg propane with regulator

I have a Weber cast iron plate to be frank I think that a piece of teflon sheet is more effective with a a couple of silicone chefs rings to keep the eggs captive.
Last weekend in addition to the breakfast I also cooked a lamb joint and roast potatos on the Weber they will do a lot more than a "full English".

The criteria for our bbq is that it has to be gas (so that we can use it in the South of France), it has to be approximately waist height (as I don't do grovelling around on the floor these days and avoid bending), and it has to be portable. We've found the best that fits our (my) criteria is the Cadac Carri Chef. Not cheap and not small, but is very adequate for a family.
