Using a small BBQ is simple and perfect for quick, on-the-go cooking. Set it up on a stable, fire-safe surface, then add your fuel—charcoal or gas, depending on the model. Light it safely, let it preheat for 5–10 minutes, and you’re ready to cook. Small BBQs heat up fast and cook evenly, so keep an eye on your food to avoid overcooking. Once done, allow it to cool fully before cleaning and packing it away. They're ideal for camping, fishing trips, or backyard cook-ups where space is limited.

Small potatoes typically take 20 to 30 minutes to BBQ, depending on their size and whether they're wrapped in foil or cooked directly on the grill. For best results, toss them in oil and seasoning, then either skewer them, use a grill basket, or wrap them in foil. Turn them occasionally for even cooking, and check for doneness by piercing with a fork—they should be tender all the way through.

For a small BBQ, you'll typically need about 20–30 briquettes or 1–1.5kg of lump charcoal to get a medium heat that lasts around an hour. Use more if you're cooking for longer or need high heat for searing. Always arrange the charcoal in an even layer and adjust airflow vents if your BBQ has them to control temperature. Let the coals ash over before cooking for best results.
