After a disappointing start to June, the weather forecast is finally improving, with warmer temperatures expected across the UK this weekend. Some areas may reach the low-to-mid 20s, making it the perfect time to dust off garden furniture and fire up the barbecue—especially as people prepare to host gatherings for the World Cup.
For those whose current grill has seen better days, The Range has slashed the price of the Texas Smoker BBQ by BBQ Chef. Shoppers describe it as 'very sturdy' and 'great value for money.' Originally priced at £169.99, it is now available for just £99.99, saving £70 on the RRP.
Key Features of the Texas Smoker BBQ
Designed for both traditional barbecuing and low-and-slow smoking, this model includes a temperature gauge built into the lid, an adjustable charcoal tray with a crank-up system for precise heat control, and front access doors for easy charcoal refills. A chimney adds authentic smoky flavour, while a warming rack keeps food hot. The removable grills are dishwasher safe, simplifying cleanup.
For comparison, the Argos Home Trolley Charcoal BBQ costs £120 and offers similar features, including a front access door and adjustable charcoal tray.
Customer Reviews
Shoppers have given positive feedback, particularly regarding ease of assembly. Fatema said, 'Got it on sale. I think it is a great BBQ for that price. Everything you need to get started.'
Len upgraded from an older model and noted, 'The heat generated was extremely efficient and especially having the ability to lower the lid was very handy. The build quality is very good and well worth the money.' He added that assembly took about two hours.
Colin described it as 'great value for money,' mentioning, 'Ordered 7pm delivered 10am next morning. Assembled BBQ on my own, took about 1 1/2 hrs. Good instructions, quality build.'
Jake called it a 'good starter BBQ' but pointed out a 5mm gap between the base and lid, suggesting fire rope for better temperature control during smoking. He still rated it highly overall.
