A compact charcoal BBQ with a lid and thermometer, so you can cook with real control in a small space.
Big barbecues are great until you're cooking for two on a Tuesday. The HEAT Braten is a compact charcoal BBQ that takes up a 40 x 40cm spot. It has a lid with a thermometer, vents to control the heat and a wooden handle that stays cool. It gives you proper charcoal cooking without a huge grill on your patio.
Is a Compact Charcoal BBQ Big Enough for You?
The Braten measures 40 x 40 x 57cm and has a full-size grill grid. HEAT says it cooks comfortably for at least two people.
That suits couples, small families and small gardens. It also means less charcoal to light and less waiting for the coals.


How Do the Lid, Vents and Thermometer Help You Cook?
The lid has a built-in thermometer, so you can see the temperature without lifting it. Adjustable vents on the lid let you raise or lower the heat.
If the coals need a boost, open the front air slider for more airflow. Closing things down slows the fire for gentler cooking.
How Stable Is the Crossed-Leg Base?
The Braten stands on four crossed steel legs. They give it a wide, steady footprint, even where the ground isn't perfectly flat.
At about 15kg, it is heavy enough to stay put, yet light enough to carry back to the shed when it is cold.


How Do You Light a Charcoal BBQ Safely?
Use firelighters that meet EN 1860-3, never petrol or spirit. Once the coals glow red, wait about 30 minutes before you start cooking.
Use it outdoors only, on a hard, level surface. Keep it 3 metres from anything that can burn, and don't use it in strong wind.
How Do You Store It When Summer Ends?
Let the ash go fully cold, then empty it and brush the grill. Its compact size means it tucks into a corner of the shed or garage.
Storing it dry over winter keeps the black steel in good shape for next season.
