And so the star of the show is Lidl's Grillmeister Burner Gas Barbecue, priced at £149.99.
However, shoppers will want to compare prices elsewhere before shelling out, as similar models can sometimes be found cheaper at other retailers.
Curry's is currently selling a George Foreman charcoal BBQ for the same price, which is a good high-quality option, perfect for those looking for home delivery, as Lidl only offers in-store purchase.
Argos also has a gas burner BBQ listed slightly cheaper for £145.

These are great alternatives, especially when you consider some models on the market cost a small fortune.
For example, the Asda Uniflame Classic Burner Gas BBQ could set you back £299, whilst John Lewis' Outback BBQ retails for £249.
I tested all the high street pizza ovens - this one at over half the price of Lakeland's is the best
Its always worth researching prices across different retailers to make sure you're getting the best value for money.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk, PriceSpy and even a quick scroll on Google Shopping can help you make sure you’re getting the best bang for your buck.
If you’re not ready to commit to a full-size gas model, Lidl is also selling smaller, more budget-friendly options like the Charcoal Bucket Barbecue for just £11.99, available in black or yellow.
Those looking to upgrade their BBQ kit can grab extra-long skewers, fish baskets, corn-on-the-cob holders, chopping boards, and even a cast iron wok, all designed to bring your backyard feast to the next level.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
There's even a burger and meat press to help make sure your patties are up to par.
Whether you're going all-in with a new grill or just need to restock your utensils, the Grillmeister range looks set to fly off shelves just in time for Father's Day and the May bank holiday.
Remember, Lidl does not offer home delivery options so you'll have to visit your to check out the new range.
Its worth calling ahead to make sure the items you're after are in stock before making a trip.
