The Gozney Roccbox isn’t strictly speaking a BBQ, more a versatile woodfired oven that’s been marketed as the home pizza oven of choice. It’s much more though, with Gozney’s squad of top chefs, including the likes of Matty Matheson, cooking everything from pimped-up pizzas to Korean chicken skewers, breads and even PB&J Baked Alaska in this box of tricks. A dual fuel design allows you to hook it up to a gas bottle but there’s also the option to wood fire the Roccbox with precut wood. While it’s a great set-up for the backyard, it’s also portable so you can take it to the park with you (so long sad sandwiches); au.gozney.com.

Another product from Everdure’s hook up with Heston that, says Blumenthal, is inspired by beach BBQ’s using a flimsy foil tray and his desire to create something that works in the outdoors. The CUBE is designed to be portable with a bamboo lid that doubles as a tray or prep board and a storage compartment for food or accessories. The unit itself is constructed from porcelain enamel and lightweight steel, with stay-cool chrome handles for added safety and sturdy steel racks. At $200 it won’t break the bank. The CUBE is a good-looking addition to your summer picnic kit that could easily double as a compact balcony BBQ year-round; everdurebyheston.com.au.

At 40kg the MiniMax EGG is on the edge of what you’d consider portable, but it comes with a robust and easy to grip carrier. Unless you’re BBQ’ing alone it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. At around $1150 it’s also at the pricier end of the portable market. Like the larger models in the Big Green Egg range the MiniMax is made from “ultra high-quality ceramics”, as well steel plate, and is fired with lump charcoal. The brand has a legion of fans which is probably less about its capability to bake as well as grill, and more about the ability to use it as a smoker. Ideal then, perhaps, for all day meetups and nights under canvas, as well as home use; biggreenegg.com.au.

You’ll hear this charcoal fuelled Weber billed as a “hibachi style cooker”, playing on the popularity of hibachi grills with chefs and now home cooks. With its practical, even utilitarian design it’s not as aesthetically pleasing as some of the other grills on the market, like the Everdure, but then it feels more like a camping grill than one that’s designed for the park, beach or balcony. At $130 with the quality that comes with the Weber name it seems like a robust and sensible choice; weber.com/au.

I’ve had a foldable Snow Peak Takibi Grill for almost 10 years and while it’s very much aimed at the camping market it’s perfect for beach and park grilling: lightweight, constructed from stainless steel, foldable and comes with a canvas carry bag. They vary in size but a smaller version costs around $160. The size and portability of the Takibi is a big plus if you’re on foot, two wheels or public transport; snowpeak.com.
