This cold weather is making me yearn for summer just a little bit, especially a nice meal from the Grill/BBQ! With one of these Outdoor Grill Houses, it doesn’t matter that summer is still months away!

These picturesque BBQ huts can be used all year round, regardless of the unreliable weather! Cosy up inside with family and friends for a dinner with a difference. The barbeque huts are manufactured from beautiful Colorado Blue Stain pine with doubled glazed windows as standard. The BBQ hut is an attractive feature in any garden but can also double up as extra bedroom.

Imagine having that BBQ. with your Friends and family when outside it is raining blowing or even snowing and your sitting in the comfort of your hut eating drinking and been merry. The BBQ hut can be used all year around and adds another room on to your home.

In the center of the Barbecue House there is a specially designed circular barbecue with removable tables. There are 3 adjustable, rotating cooking platforms for holding the kettle, saucepan and frying skillet over the charcoals. There are also 2 Blaze boards which are used for cooking a side of salmon or trout.
