Barbecue season is now in full flow, meaning you can get out the lounge chairs, paddling pools and – most importantly – the grill that has been long forgotten in the garden shed. In order to get the best out of your barbecue, check out some of these snazzy gizmos that will help you enjoy those long summer days even more.

Spectrum Solo Portable DAB+/FM Digital Radio
John Lewis: £40
The perfect addition to a successful barbecue session is some quality music, so to make sure your barbecue is a hit, equip yourself with this stylish radio from John Lewis. The Spectrum Solo gives you access to thousands of stations, so you can tune in to your favourite as you get grilling.

This little radio is only 350g, so it’s nice and light, and also comes in an array of colours (including this very summery mustard yellow, pictured). As well as playing in your garden, you can also plug in your headphones if you’d rather enjoy some solo time with your tunes.

Weber Go-Anywhere Charcoal BBQ
John Lewis: £85
The great thing about this gizmo is that, even if it is on the smaller side, it still cooks up delicious barbecue food to suit any summer’s day, and it’s portable. So, whether you’re visiting friends, having a get-together at the park, or going away on holiday, the Weber Go-Anywhere Charcoal BBQ is a great accompaniment.

With its triple-plated cooking grate, you can fire it up to cook tasty burgers, hotdogs and more! Its folding legs and glass-reinforced handle make it easy to pick up and go, so you can be sure to cook up a feast even when you’re on the move.

Fizzics DraftPour Beer Dispenser
Menkind.co.uk: £149
It’s hard to explain why, but sometimes draught beer just tastes nicer than bottled beer! If you want to recreate that feeling of going to the pub at home, the Fizzics DraftPour Beer Dispenser is the perfect gift to treat yourself with this summer.

Whether you have canned or bottled beer taking up space in the fridge, this useful gadget will give your beverage a freshly-pulled-pint taste that you just can’t beat. With its clever Micro-Foam technology, the Fizzics Dispenser manages to give beer that extra bit of va-va-voom, making you feel as though you’re sunbathing in a beer garden.

You can power your portable dispenser either by USB or AA batteries, making it easy to use whenever you crave a draught beer.
