Not too heavy grill with large and comfortable handles, making it easy to carry from place to place. However, it is better to do this together, since the barbecue is quite long.
Due to the shallow depth of the hearth, the heat quickly enters the upper part, which ensures quick roasting of the kebabs. And the small holes in the bottom and side machines of the case are designed so that the coals are constantly supplied with air and do not go out.
The manufacturer even took care of such trifles as quick and easy ash removal. For this, the product has a small tray. In general, Kukmara No. 14 is a good folding barbecue for a summer cottage or garden in a private house. Just remember to bring it indoors when it rains.

3. Vesuvius Birch

Characteristics:
- with a table
- length: 130 cm
- width: 90 cm
- height: 233 cm
If the device from Soyuzgril can simply be taken by the handle and carried away, then this will not work with Birch. The height of this miracle of barbecue construction is more than two meters, and the width is one and a half meters. This is, of course, about the frame.
A frame with a roof, a table under the brazier, a stove under a cauldron and even its own chimney - in design, it is very similar to the familiar samovar. Thanks to this design, the smoke when cooking meat does not sting the eyes.
And if you want to add more firewood, then at the bottom of the frame there is a convenient shelf for firewood. By the way, a cauldron, a poker with a scoop and an ash brush are included in the kit. And the oven itself under the cauldron can be removed if you suddenly need to increase the size of the brazier.
Despite its impressive size, the grill itself can be easily disassembled and stored for the winter.
pros: solid and well thought-out design, abundance of accessories.
Minuses: price.
2. Grillver Firecraft Comfort Air
Average price - 13,000 rubles

- collapsible
- wall thickness: 3 mm
- with a table
- on wheels
- length: 129.5 cm
- width: 52.5 cm
- height: 90 cm
- weight: 36 kg
This gorgeous handsome man seemed to descend from the glossy pages of a magazine straight to your lawn. Stylish, black body, with red coating of the inner compartments and shiny chrome details will give a chic barbecue!
But this model is not good for its appearance alone. It is made of thick and durable metal. The brazier is equipped with a perforated bottom, and ash boxes are provided for collecting ash, which, in addition to their direct function, also serve to supply air to the brazier.
Do not be afraid that the heat will spoil the appearance of the unit - as the manufacturer himself assures, this is a particularly durable paintwork that can withstand temperatures up to 700 ° C and not lose face.
Another advantage of the barbecue is wheels with real rubber, which is rare among such devices; manufacturers prefer to make do with cheap plastic. They are equipped with special shields to protect the bearings from external influences, dust and dirt.
In addition to the frame itself and the brazier, the brazier is also equipped with a folding table where you can conveniently place everything you need for a barbecue. It also has a dedicated tool holder and a bottom shelf with a drawer.
pros: build quality and individual parts, abundance of accessories.
Minuses: inconvenient assembly instructions, poor-quality packaging that does not protect the parts from external influences during transportation, high price.
1. MD MD-2
In Russian retail it costs 5,700 rubles
Characteristics:
- wall thickness: 2 mm
- with a table
- length: 85 cm
- width: 60 cm
- height: 94 cm
- weight: 26 kg
If the product from Grillver impresses with its modern design, then the creators of the MD MD-2 took a different path and relied on antiquity. With its oval contours, and especially the original stand, suggesting the idea of the Art Nouveau style, it stands out favorably against the background of its own kind. And the semicircular base of the barbecue, in addition to the aesthetic, also has a practical application - it is convenient to put firewood there.
In terms of price and quality ratio, this is perhaps the best combined grill for summer cottages in 2020. Its height is just such that one could cast over the brazier while standing. A small wooden shelf is attached to one of the ends, and a wooden table along the long side. True, as users say, the tree, although it looks impressive, quickly loses all its beauty from the heat and ash. The varnish darkens, turns gray, and either you have to regularly clean it, sand it and re-paint it, or choose the option with metal mesh shelves.
pros: build quality, thoughtful design, appearance, reasonable price.
Minuses: wooden parts of the shelves quickly lose their presentation and burn out.
The best stationary barbecues
4. BOYSCOUT "Deer" 61392
In Russian stores it is sold for 29 600 rubles
Characteristics:
- collapsible
- body material: steel
- wall thickness: 4 mm
- length: 120 cm
- width: 80 cm
- height: 150 cm
- weight: 52 kg
This brazier is decorated in a very interesting and stylish way - in the shape of a deer. His height is almost like a real one, only he is assembled like puzzles - from parts. Moreover, each part is additionally treated against rust and covered with a heat-resistant paint and varnish coating.
Do not be afraid that you will not be able to approach the red-hot deer, because the structure itself practically does not heat up. The brazier built into the back of the reindeer has 4 mm thick walls, which guarantees its durability and does not deform.
pros: appearance.
Minuses: the price, and if you leave the animal for the winter without protection, it can be taken away from the site.
3. Brazier for 10 skewers from Balezinsky LMZ
Average cost - 9,700 rubles
Characteristics:
- collapsible
- body material: cast iron
- length: 65 cm
- width: 35 cm
- height: 61 cm
- weight: 37 kg
From a garden figure for aesthetes, we are moving on to a simple and honest Russian-made product. The brazier is considered stationary for a reason - it is made of real cast iron and has the appropriate weight. To make life easier for kebab lovers, the creators made it collapsible (the legs can be unscrewed, and the walls can be detached).
All this wealth is carefully packed in a wooden box, so, although it is difficult to transport it, it is possible. If desired, the brazier can be equipped with cast iron grates.
Let's add also that cast iron is a hardy and durable material, so there is every chance that your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will grill barbecue on this grill. Apparently, with the expectation of this effect, the designers gave the appearance of the barbecue some old-fashionedness - curved legs with decorative rings, and the walls are decorated with molding.
pros: keeps heat for a long time, does not deform from high temperatures.
Minuses: capricious material requires special handling, heavy. Protect cast iron from rust! Then the product will serve you for many years.
2. Koncept MC-1
Average price - 11,000 rubles
Characteristics:
- body material: steel
- wall thickness: 3 mm
- length: 72 cm
- width: 44 cm
- height: 158 cm
- weight: 39 kg
This stationary barbecue very successfully combines both relatively small dimensions and an impressive work surface. It is a sturdy all-welded product mounted on a sturdy frame. The top of the brazier is covered by a roof with a chimney, and from below, on a special semicircular grate, you can conveniently stack firewood. The thickness of the steel of the brazier is 3 mm, so it will serve you for a long time.
If the working surface does not seem to be enough, you can hang tables on the ends, where everything you need for a barbecue ritual will be conveniently placed.
pros: appearance, strength, convenience, reasonable price.
Minuses: the structure is not understandable, it will not be possible to take it to the dacha on its own
1. MD MD-9
You can buy for 13 400 rubles
Characteristics:
- wall thickness: 3 mm
- with a table
- with a spit
- length: 134 cm
- width: 43 cm
- height: 219 cm
- weight: 79 kg
But this is not just a grill, but a whole kitchen! A brazier and wood-burning stove are attached to a sturdy frame, the height of an adult man. And so that the weather conditions or flying birds do not interfere with cooking, the barbecue also has a roof with a chimney.
To increase the convenience of the cooking process, a removable table made of laminated plywood is also attached to the frame.
The "kitchen" is very hardy and able to stay outside all year round without any problems. It is so strong and heavy that, according to one user, even the hurricane winds of the Moscow region were not able to shake it. The frame itself looks discreet and solid, so even if it does not serve as a decoration for the site, it certainly will not spoil it.
pros: endurance, lifespan, user friendliness.
Minuses: This size is not easy to transport.
