Major department store chain slashes price of barbecues by 75 per cent just in time for the heatwave
DEBENHAMS has just made it a bit more affordable to get your hands on a barbecue in time for summer garden parties. The department store chain has slashed the price of a powerhouse barbecue by a whopping 75 percent. 3 The Berkfield Home Gas BBQ Grill did originally retail for £774, but shoppers can now get their hands on it for only £193.50. The silver and black barbecue is perfect for putting together an outdoor feast for family and friends, by turning your garden into a second kitchen. It has a large cooking surface and a heavy-duty hood with a built-in thermometer to display cooking temperature and its inbuilt side tables allow additional workspace. A removable grease drip container is also included and because it's made of heavy-duty materials, the grill is very durable. There is also a shelf underneath which provides large space to store cookware and utensils. It is also easy to move around due to two sturdy castors and the low price comes with a BBQ cover to protect the grill from rain and dust. The reduced price comes at a perfect time as a heatwave rolls in and people are spending more time outdoors. But barbecue experts have warned about ensuring people follow laws closely and also keep themselves safe by ensuring their food is cooked well and barbecues kept clean. Around 240 accidental fires are caused by barbecues each year in England alone, Romford Record reports. While there's no outright ban on BBQs or bonfires, you might get caught out if they are deemed to be causing a nuisance. The 2C method which stops flies plaguing your home and ruining your BBQ This means no excessive smoke, pollution or disturbing the neighbours. Smoke drifting onto roads or lighting up the grill too often could land you in trouble. It's always worth checking your local council's website to find the relevant laws to avoid any nasty surprises. Kelly Whittington, property claims director at Aviva, told The Sun: "Barbecues and fire pits are popular features in millions of UK gardens, and they can be a brilliant addition to social events. Government advice on BBQ safety The UK Government have issued some guidelines for staying safe whilst using a barbecue: Keep a bucket of water, sand or a garden hose nearby for emergencies. Follow the safety instructions provided with your gas, charcoal, or disposable barbecue. Never use a barbecue indoors, in a tent, under an awning or in a caravan. Use enough charcoal to cover the base of the barbecue, but not more (normally around 5cms or 2 inches). Keep children, pets and garden games away from the cooking area. After cooking, make sure the barbecue is cool before moving it. Empty ashes onto bare garden soil, not into dustbins or wheelie bins. If they're hot, they can melt the plastic and cause a fire. Make sure your barbecue is well away from sheds, fences, trees, shrubs or garden waste. In the countryside or public park areas, only use disposable barbecues where there are specially designated areas and carefully follow the safety guidance. Enjoy yourself, but don't drink too much alcohol if you are in charge of the barbecue. Never use petrol or paraffin to start or revive your barbecue; use only recognised lighters or starter fuels on cold coals. "But they also come with risks, and if not watched carefully, they can quickly get out of hand with potentially disastrous consequences." It comes after a property expert revealed four BBQ blunders that anyone can make and get slapped with fines worth thousands. 3

Family-sized tent worth £736 now slashed by over £550 in time for summer
This nine-man tent is currently a whopping 75 per cent off at Debenhams. Along with the warmer months comes festival and camping season, and it's important for campers to be adequately kitted out to face the changeable Scottish weather when camping. But while good camping gear can get super expensive, this Berkfield Home 9-Person Blue Dome Waterproof Tent has landed a massive discount thanks to Debenhams' spring sale. This family tent from Debenhams boasts a modern look, protecting happy campers from the unpleasant weather- which we see plenty of in Scotland- and provides a comfortable place for any adventure. Ideal for festivals, woodland camping or nights on the beach, this tent features an all-around waterproof design as it's made from polyester with a PU coating, reports The Mirror. Normally costing £736, this nine-person tent is now up for grabs for the massively reduced price of £184, saving shoppers a whopping £552. Its taped seams effectively prevent rainwater infiltration, while the heavy-duty ground sheet helps maintain a dry and comfortable interior, so shoppers will never have to worry about getting drenched in the night. Armed with a detachable rainfly, which can be attached to the tent's top for weather protection and privacy, this heavy duty piece of camping gear offers good ventilation and mosquito protection, ensuring protection from the elements as well as the insects. It features mesh walls that not only offer ventilation, perfect if this tent is used at full capacity, but also effectively keep insects at bay, ensuring a comfortable and bug-free experience no matter where the tent is set up. Berkfield Home nine-person Family Tent £736 £184 Debenhams Shop Product Description This tent is also equipped with an E-port for convenient electrical cord access, allowing campers to easily connect an extension cord from an external power source to the tent, so users don't have to sacrifice charging electronics, keeping fans or heaters running, or using plug-in speakers. The tent is praised for being easy to set up and take down. Thanks to the highly flexible and lightweight fibreglass poles and the convenient pin-and-ring connection system, assembly and disassembly are a breeze, which spares hours otherwise spent faffing around with instructions and difficult equipment. For those shopping around for alternative models, Amazon is offering this nine-person family tent for £227.89, or B&Q has its own for £356.65. The hugely discounted Debenhams tent currently has no reviews as of yet, which may put some people off buying it. However, over on Trustpilot, many have left general reviews of the site, the quality of their products and their customer service. One positive review reads: "Have ordered through Debenhams online a few times now and can honestly say it's been excellent. "Ordering is simple and straightforward, all products received in a timely manner and very affordable prices. Will definitely be my 'Go to' site from now on." But not everyone is so pleased with the Debenhams online site, as a less happy shopper said they waited over a month for a refund after returning two items. They said: "It always amazes me how companies take your money instantly but seriously drag their feet on refunds. "It has certainly put me off buying again. Sorry Debenhams, that really long return has let you down and therefore only 3 stars." But another customer was pleased, saying: "I've always loved Debenhams especially in store. On line is just as good so I cannot understand the low star rating on [Trustpilot], great choice of products in all sectors, quick delivery & free if over a certain amount. "I don't know what people want for their money these days! I'll always support this company." To buy Debenhams massively discounted family tent, click here. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
