NOW spring has sprung, many of us will be looking to make the most of the warmer weather by having a BBQ.
There are plenty of affordable BBQs for sale at the moment and several retailers have even started lowering their prices.
You will need to choose between a charcoal, electric, disposable, gas or even portable BBQ.
The best one for you will depend on how many people you want to feed and how long you are willing to wait for your food to cook.
Disposable BBQs are a good option if you are looking to feed a small number of people.
They can only be used once and you usually throw them away once you have finished grilling.
Gas-powered BBQs are usually quicker to heat, easier to use and more precise to cook with than charcoal.
They have dials to help you set the exact temperature you want to cook at.
Plus they are normally ready to go in just 15 minutes or less.
But they do require hooking up to hefty gas tanks.
Meanwhile, once a charcoal BBQ is up to temperature you can use them to sear meat very quickly.
Or you can use them to slow-cook a larger cut of meat by wrapping it in foil and putting it directly into the hot coals.
Here we round up some of the best BBQ deals on the market so you can get grilling this weekend.
Always shop around to make sure you are getting the best deal.
Prices may fall even further as the weather gets warmer so keep an eye out for a bargain.
If you buy a large BBQ you may also need to factor in a delivery charge.
