By now I’m sure most of you reading this will know that I love practical products that are easy to operate and don’t take up a lot of space, and that is exactly what the Grilla BBQ from Ridge Monkey is.

If you don’t know who Ridge Monkey are (I didn't), they’re huge in the fishing community, and produce some innovative products that make fishing easy.

Fishing folk like to eat, but they don’t want kit that takes up a huge amount of space.  The stainless steel RidgeMonkey Grilla BBQ is perfect for fishing, camping and trips to the beach as not only can it be used as a fire pit with charcoal and wood, but it also comes with a full-length gas burner with fully adjustable heat for more convenient cooking.

Portability is key, and the Grilla is quick and easy to use with a full stainless steel body that packs up into its own heavy duty, over-sized protective zipped carry case.  Also included in the carry case is a deluxe stainless steel utensil set, a removable stainless steel side table and removable grill.

What I personally love about the Grilla is its quick-fold body - simply remove it from the case, turn it the right way up and everything drops down and slots into place within less than a second, then your only decision is whether to cook with gas, briquettes or wood.

If you’re cooking with gas then you attach the full length burner with piezo ignition onto any EN417 screw thread compatible gas burner, and slot the burner through the body of the Grilla, securing it at the opposite end.

The 40cm x 20cm grill area offers plenty of space for burgers, sausages, steaks, chicken, seafood, vegetables and more, and a dedicated Grilla BBQ Hotplate is also available as an optional extra.

After a month of use there's only thing that niggles me - I reckon the carry bag should also have a shoulder strap, but that’s it!
