A MUST-HAVE for the summer months is a BBQ, but a new accessory means you can become a master chef to impress all your family and friends. Hardware chain, Wickes, is selling a pizza oven that attaches to a BBQ so all tastes can be catered for at garden parties all summer long. High-tech BBQs and pizza ovens have become all the rage in recent years, but those looking for an affordable option, need look no further than the Charles Bentley Pizza Oven & BBQ. Costing just £62, the versatile BBQ pizza allows you to make delicious homemade or pre-made pizzas without forking out the big bucks to invest in a standalone pizza over. It is designed to attach easily to any BBQ and has a built-in thermometer, which lets you monitor the cooking temperature to make the perfect pizza everytime. By attaching to any BBQ, the pizza oven is also a great way to save space in your backyard. At 6kg, the pizza oven is also lightweight and portable. The retailer also has plenty of BBQs on offer to suit all kinds of budgets, such as the Norfolk Grills Atlas 400 BBQ and grill with side burner. The BBQ costs £565, comes with a five-year guarantee and has plenty of practical features. Some of those include tool and condiment storage, a cabinet for grilling equipment, warming rack, thermometer, bottle opener and a stainless steel side burner.

The 2C method which stops flies plaguing your home and ruining your BBQ Some of the myths debunked by the prof include not checking the internal temperature of meat before servin or simply scraping a grill 'clean', rather than giving it a proper wash. 'A dirty grill is not a badge of honour – it's a serious health risk," he told The Sun in May. 'The belief that fire sterilises everything is a dangerous myth. 'Some bacteria – like E. coli and Salmonella – can survive if the grill isn't properly cleaned.' 4 4

The Range selling dupe of posh £559 pizza oven perfect for garden dinners & it's cheaper than Lidl's version
A MAJOR retailer is selling a budget version of a fancy outdoor pizza over that's perfect for summer garden dinners. The Range is offering the mini-ovens for a much better price than many of its competitors. 3 As the summer months arrive, many Brits will want to enjoy a barbecue or drink outdoors to wile away the warmer weekends. But with home pizza ovens becoming increasingly popular, shops are looking to stock their own versions at increasingly competitive prices. Brands like Ooni are well known for selling solid pizza ovens - but their products can cost into several hundreds of pounds. What The Range is selling offers consumers a budget option to enjoy home baked pizza this summer. The VonHaus ovens available at The Range are selling for just £49.99. This makes them a fair bit cheaper than the equivalent pizza oven at Lidl, which is listed at £79.99. The Range's website says: "Give your gas or charcoal BBQ a new lease of life with the VonHaus barbecue pizza oven, the easy way to enjoy artisan style pizzas." To make things even easier, the ovens come fully assembled - so pizza lovers can get cooking in no time. It also has two handles and a temperature gauge. But unlike other self-standing pizza ovens, this product is designed to be placed on your barbecue. How to save money on pizza TAKEAWAY pizzas taste great but they can hit you hard on your wallet. Here are some tips on how to save on pizza: Cashback websites - TopCashback and Quidco will pay you to order your pizza through them. They're paid by retailers for every click that comes to their website from the cashback site, which eventually trickles down to you. So you'll get cashback on orders placed through them. Discount codes - Check sites like VoucherCodes for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order. Make you own topping - One savvy customer noticed that Domino's charges up to 70p MORE for pizzas on its menu compared to ordering the same one through the "create your own" option. It's worth trying out to see if it makes a difference before you place your next order. Buy it from the shops - It might not taste exactly the same but you'll save the most money by picking up your favourite pizza from your local supermarket. Some Asda stores sell freshly made ones from the pizza counter where prices start at £2. It works with either charcoal or gas barbecues. "Perfect for weeknight family meals and garden parties alike, the insulated stainless steel construction heats up quickly and evenly every time, so you can feed hungry mouths in no time," the website adds. "Get your guests creating their own for a fun dining experience that means less time prepping and more time mingling! "Plus, the ceramic pizza stone is super easy to wipe down once done. That's hosting made easy." These ovens are a budget equivalent of the classic Ooni pizza ovens, which remain a popular favourite. Ooni pizza ovens start from around £300 and can support various different fuels. The company describes its core purpose as being "because everyone deserves great pizza". "It's a simple idea, but a noble cause that's behind everything we do at Ooni. "We're working our wee socks off and won't rest until there's an Ooni pizza oven in the backyard of every man, woman and backyard-owning child everywhere."
