Lidl's Kamado BBQ resembles the popular Big Green Egg model, boasting a substantial savings of over £200 compared to Aldi's equivalent version.
In the world of outdoor cooking, Lidl's latest launch, the Grillmeister Ceramic Barbecue, has been generating quite a buzz. With its ceramic shell designed for high-temperature cooking, it's perfect for smoking, searing, baking, and grilling. But what if you're on a budget and still want a similar cooking experience? Here are some affordable alternatives.
First up is the Habitat kamado BBQ, available at Argos for £206.25. This expert-level ceramic BBQ locks in smoky flavour just like the Grillmeister, making it a great choice for those who want a traditional ceramic experience without breaking the bank.
If you're looking for something easier to operate, Lidl's own Silvercrest Kitchen Air Fryer with Grill and Smoker, priced around £100, could be your answer. This outdoor appliance offers convenient, non-stick grilling and smoking capabilities, making it a perfect choice for those wanting a timer and less manual BBQ tending.
For those who prefer gas BBQs, the Char-Broil Essential 3G 3 Burner, priced around £400, is a well-reviewed choice. With multiple burners, side tables, and infrared heat technology for juicier cooking, this model offers a great alternative to the Grillmeister, although it is pricier.
It's worth noting that while the Grillmeister is appreciated for its ceramic properties, options like the Habitat kamado provide a similar experience at around the same or slightly higher price.
The Grillmeister Ceramic Barbecue, priced at £79.99, is the cheapest Kamado BBQ this year. With a diameter of 26.5cm, it's suitable for table top or potting bench usage and comes with an integrated thermometer for temperature control.
Meanwhile, the Habitat BBQ shares features with high-end Kamado BBQs without the same price tag. Suitable for grilling, slow smoking, roasting, baking pizzas or breads, and catering to up to four people at once, it's a compact and versatile option, especially for small spaces or those who like to take their BBQ on the go.
