Disposable Barbecue Grills

Guide 2 BBQ > Grills > Disposable

Disposable barbecue grills are usually foil trays containing charcoal and a lighting sheet (paper or other material impregnated with a flammable fluid), and topped with a foil grill. The idea is that you can simply light the sheet, wait for the flames to die down, and then barbecue your food on the top of it. When the barbecue is finished and the grill has cooled down, you can then throw the whole thing away.

Having used such grills many times, I personally have found that they can work well. They are ideal for picnics or camping (of course check that lighting a barbecue is allowed at the location in question). There are however a number of ways that you can come unstuck. Here are some tips based on my experience:

Disposable barbecue grills often are surrounded by quite a lot of packaging material. For example, the ones that I have purchased have come in a cardboard box or tray, with paper signs on top, and wrapped in cellophane. You must be sure to remove all of the packaging before using the grill!
My experience is that these grills work much better when it's not too windy - even modest wind can cause problems.
When carrying the box, the charcoal can easily pile up at one end of the grill. Before lighting the grill, shake the grill gently to ensure the charcoal is even spread out across the grill.
Disposable grills usually come with instructions - read them carefully - as there can be important safety issues. Additionally, for those disposable grills that I have used, I've generally found the instructions will tell you to wait until the initial flames die down before placing food on the grill, and this does seem to be advice worth following.

Note: Barbecue equipment and grills should only be used in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions, and you should also always take appropriate safety precautions. Barbecue fires and grills should be closely monitored at all times, kept under control, and away from buildings or flammable items. Children and animals should also be kept away from barbecues, fires, hot items, sharp items, or other potential hazards. You should always ensure that meat, seafood and other foods are cooked properly before eating. Please also note that some localities may have ordinances, laws or regulations which restrict or prohibit the lighting of fires and/or the use of barbecues.
