If you have little free space on the balcony or in the garden, you may not be able to set up a classic barbecue. If you’re camping, you usually have to pack in a minimalist way, and those who go picnicking with friends do not want to carry more luggage than they really need. However, those who do not want to give up barbecuing in these situations often find the solution to the problem in one minigrill , These are usually quite classic with charcoalor briquettesfired. But also for fans of gas Grillor SmokersThere is actually the right small version. Disadvantage is of course that one minigrill just smaller than a normal grill. Thus one can not prepare so much grill food at once. This means that if you want to feed many people at once, you have to wait longer until sausages, steaks, fish or grilled vegetables are ready for everyone.

disposable barbecues

At the thought of one minigrill First of all, the disposable version comes to mind. These are aluminum bowls with charcoal in it and a metal net above that is placed on foldable wire feet. For a few euros, these disposable barbecues are offered and for example at festivals you can see them quite often. Practically, of course, that you have everything right together. In a single box, the whole grill including coal and you can get started without any other accessories. In addition, it is practical that you do not have to clean anything after grilling – the entire part is thrown after cooling in one piece in the trash. However, this is a disadvantage in that a disposable BBQFrom the point of view of environmental protection is absolutely not sustainable. Here is much – actually avoidable – garbage generated. If you want to grill larger amounts, you may also need several disposable grills, as you do not have the option of simply adding coal as soon as the heat has subsided. Furthermore, the price-performance ratio is quickly disproportionate, but if you want to grill again and again and not just all cheers years.

Classic grills in a small format

Whether classical kettle grill, Gas grill, upright kebab grill or even smoker, in which one can smoke – everything that is in large, there are also in small. The selection is huge. So before you buy any barbecue, you have to think about exactly what you want, what you value and which model is the right choice for you. For example, if you would like to camp in the great outdoors, you will probably not have much fun with an electric mini-kebab grill as soon as there is no electricity connection nearby. And those who just want to get their sausages fried as quickly as possible need not let them cook for hours in the aromatic smoke of a smoker.

Special mini-grills

In addition to the smaller versions of the classic models, there are also some mini-grills that have no „big brother“ in this form. For all without garden, but with balcony, there would be for example the balcony Grill, This has approximately the dimensions of a flower box and is – similar to such – hung with a corresponding bracket in the balcony railing. There you can fill it with charcoal, ignite it and put on your grilled food. Saves space, but is not mobile due to the fixation on the railing. Optimal for traveling, however, are Grill bucketor folding Grill, The grill bucket is, as the name already suggests, one bucketto grilling in it. Most of these buckets have foldable feet and, as is usual with a bucket, a handle for carrying. The coal can already be filled at home, so you can carry everything you need for grilling in one hand. Depending on the model, this may not always be possible with hinged or trunk grills. If necessary, you have to take the coal or briquettes separately here. But the grill itself is practically collapsible, can also be transported very handy and usually offers a larger area for barbecuing. So it will fill more people faster than the bucket grill. And the garbage of disposable grille is avoided in all these variants as well.
