  Very popular here in the UK because good weather is less common so it’s easy to pop down to the supermarket and pick up a couple for a last minute BBQ along with burgers, sausages, and beverages.

  Seriously wtf. Most of the time “BBQ” is actually grilling, which requires a grill made of metal that can cook the food. Who saw that and was like “Let’s make cast iron grills you throw away?”

    They’re not disposable cast iron BBQs, they’re just an aluminium foil tray with a few bits of charcoal in and a wire mesh to put the food on. As you can guess, they’re awful for cooking on.
