Despite its small stature, this compact BBQ can feed up to eight people. It has everything you’d expect from a classic charcoal grill including an ash catcher, weatherproof handles, a storage area for food/utensils and an adjustable ventilation system to regulate airflow and temperature. After every five uses, Weber recommends giving the whole BBQ a proper clean. The heating element can easily be taken out by removing two screws. You can then use the spatula that comes with the Lumin to scrape down the inside body of the BBQ. I found I still had some remnants of food that wouldn't budge, but I was able to take the whole inside of the BBQ out and give it a wash in soapy water in the sink. I did the same with the grill plates and couldn't believe how well they cleaned. They looked almost as good as new. It was one of the easiest BBQs I have ever cleaned. How does it compare to similar models and other Weber BBQs?

Designed for portability, Q barbecues use either disposable gas canisters (Q1200) or they have a clip on Propane regulator, depending on the model that you choose. Whether you are looking for an outdoor grill that is easy to store in the shed, or a portable barbecue for taking away with you when camping, the Q range is an excellent choice. You just love to socialise and keep people happy, and no doubt your friends’ tastes are as eclectic as their personalities. There’s not much that can’t be cooked on a BBQ, but here are a few ideas:

Weber® Gas Barbecues

When it comes to other styles of BBQs I must say I am a complete electric BBQ convert. Compared to cooking on a gas or charcoal BBQ it was easy to do, and I didn't have to worry about controlling any flames. It made barbecuing feel much more accessible for every meal, and less like a massive mission in planning since you could cook from frozen. However, if you are after that authentic BBQ taste that the more traditional Weber BBQs provide then the Lumin isn't for you. The most major priority is price, so start out with a rough idea of what you want to spend. Once you know this, it’s easier to narrow down the rest and fit in what you need with what you can afford. Next up is fuel. Here at Riverside, we are proud to boast the largest Weber® BBQ showroom in the UK with every Weber® barbecue, accessory and official Weber® branded product on show and in every available colour too allowing you to make a truly informed choice and ensure you get what is right for you. Weber's are known for their exceptional build quality and have been the leading name in kettle barbecues since the 1950s. Weber has continued to create successful inventions since then, such as the Flavorizer bars. All of their high-quality barbecues and barbecue accessories are the product of decades of refinement by Weber's talented designers. Charcoal barbecues may offer an authentic grilling experience, but they don't offer the same convenience and ease as gas variants. Easy to light, gas barbecues do not require the same wait while they heat up. What's more, you can cook for more people thanks to the larger sizes that are possible when using gas as a cooking medium.
