Campingaz 2 Series Classic Lx Plus (Anthracite, 81cm Height)

What size gas bottle does this barbecue accommodate?

The integrated storage compartment is designed to house standard UK gas bottles. The concealed compartment features metal doors that provide security and weather protection. You should remove the gas bottle before wheeling the barbecue to prevent damage to the storage doors and ensure safe transportation.

How difficult is the assembly process?

Assembly requires careful attention to the pictorial instructions and basic tools. Some users report the instructions could be clearer, particularly for identifying screw holes. The process typically requires two people and can be challenging even for those with DIY experience. Allow several hours for complete assembly and have a full toolkit available.

What are the exact cooking surface dimensions?

The barbecue provides 2100 square centimetres of cooking surface area across its horizontal grill configuration. The split rack design divides this space into manageable sections that can be removed independently. This generous cooking area accommodates large quantities of food for family gatherings or entertaining guests.

How hot do the burners get and can you control the temperature?

Each of the two gas burners delivers substantial heat output as part of the total 7.5kW system. Users report quite fierce heat that's excellent for searing meats quickly. The gas controls allow you to adjust temperature levels on each burner independently, providing flexibility for different cooking requirements and food types.

Is the barbecue suitable for camping or just home use?

While designed primarily as a free-standing home barbecue, its robust construction makes it suitable for camping and outdoor adventures. The 28.4kg weight and 81cm height mean it's substantial but transportable. The integrated gas bottle storage and side panels make it practical for extended outdoor use where storage space is limited.

How easy is it to clean after use?

Cleaning is straightforward thanks to the split removable cooking racks. Each grill section lifts out completely for washing in the sink or dishwasher. The horizontal configuration prevents grease buildup in hard-to-reach areas. Users recommend lining with aluminium foil before first use to make subsequent cleaning even easier.

What's included in the box and what tools are needed?

The barbecue arrives as a flat-pack requiring assembly. All necessary hardware and components are included, but you'll need your own tools for construction. The unit features alloy steel frame materials, painted finish components and detailed assembly instructions. No gas bottle or cooking accessories are included with the barbecue.

How stable is the barbecue during cooking?

The substantial 28.4kg weight and alloy steel frame construction provide excellent stability during use. The free-standing design with integrated storage compartments creates a low centre of gravity that resists tipping. Users report the barbecue remains steady even during vigorous cooking activities and when fully loaded with food.
