3. Son of Hibachi BBQ
The Son of Hibachi BBQ is named this way as it’s the younger generation of the Hibachi BBQ. It is a really cool portable BBQ which has a number of nice features (as well as cooking food of course). A normal BBQ is a number of things such as messy, not portable, a pest to clean and move around and take ages to cool down. The son of hibachi is different. It is compact, portable, ready to cook in 7 - 10 minutes, adjustable height and can extinguish in just minutes. As well as all this it also cleans it’s self too. A pouch is included which you drop the hot BBQ in to and it cleans it’s self. Not bad at all!

2. Wireless Outdoor Speakers

With these wireless speakers you need not bother running any cables. Just switch them on and place them up to 100 metres away from your sound source (such as an MP3 player, TV, VCR, Radio etc…) and you get 15W of sound. The speakers run on rechargeable batteries making it easy to charge them when needed. A remote control is included which allows you to control the music via the speakers.
The wireless outdoor speakers cost £119.00.
