Gas barbeque

Weber make, or you can buy a generic, cast iron flat plate for eggs, pancakes, fried potatoes etc to lay on your Weber grid. So there's no need to buy a second BBQ.

I have a Weber cast iron plate to be frank I think that a piece of teflon sheet is more effective with a a couple of silicone chefs rings to keep the eggs captive.  

Last weekend in addition to the breakfast I also cooked a lamb joint and       roast potatos on the Weber they will do a lot more than a "full English". 

Thanks Boff, that's a really useful tip, because lovely as it is for even heat, cast iron is very heavy to cart about, particularly when added to Weber's iron grates.

I agree with ChrisRogers, Cadac Safari Chef. It is versatile, light, packs easily into a supplied bag, relatively small but perfectly adequate for two people.

The criteria for our bbq is that it has to be gas (so that we can use it in the South of France), it has to be approximately waist height (as I don't do grovelling around on the floor these days and avoid bending), and it has to be portable.  We've found the best that fits our (my) criteria is the Cadac Carri Chef.  Not cheap and not small, but is very adequate for a family.
