Large charcoal barbecue grill that 'adds great smoky flavour to meats' now under £100 on Amazon
We are in the height of summer, and that means walks in the park, beer gardens, and whipping out the barbecue. Scotland might not get sunshine all the time, but it doesn't mean you can't snap up a great deal on a BBQ.
Just as well Amazon is offering a large charcoal outdoor barbecue grill for 17 per cent off, then. The barrel smoker BBQ grill with four air vents is perfect for home garden cooking - but be quick. It's on a limited time only deal.
The grill was £119.99 but has now been reduced to £99.99. With an expansive grilling and smoking capacity, featuring a massive 70x35CM main grate, this BBQ can grill more than 15 burger patties and 12 sausages at once.
It can also smoke a whole chicken alongside ribs effortlessly, according to its description.
"This barbecue grill is perfect for hosting 8-12 guests at garden parties, this BBQ smoker handles briskets, veggies, and more with unmatched versatility," the description reads.
There is a built-in thermometer and four adjustable vents on this barbecue grill outdoor, and you can create custom heat zones on this charcoal grill.
This barrel BBQ Grill features the innovative flip-up grill section, allowing you to easily replenish charcoal mid-cook without removing the entire grate.
What's more, "heavy-duty wheels glide across rough terrain," and removable grates and large detachable ash pans make clean-up effortless. And it's a good thing, too, as we all know washing up is the worst part of barbecues.
If you want to shop around before committing, Argos' Home Extra Large Drum Charcoal BBQ can be snapped up for £100. Customers insist cookers can "get back to basics with this beauty".
Alternatively, this is also sure to get the job done at £92.62. This is 53 per cent off.
If you still want to go for the Amazon bargain, it has garnered 4.4 out of 5 stars on the website.
One shopper gushed: "Purchased this in March 2025 and have used it multiple times since—very pleased with the results! Assembly took a bit of time but instructions were clear.
"The main grill is spacious and cooks evenly, while the offset smoker adds a great smoky flavour to meats. I especially love the side shelf for prep and the bottom rack for storage.
"Build quality is solid for the price, and it's easy to clean. Perfect for weekend BBQs and hosting guests outdoors. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get into smoking without breaking the bank!"
A second raved: "This grill is an absolute steal for the price! It's sturdy, spacious, and perfect for backyard barbecues. The offset smoker is a fantastic bonus — it took a little getting used to, but once I figured out how to manage the heat and airflow, it worked great. I've already smoked ribs and brisket with excellent results.
"Assembly was surprisingly quick too — it only took me around 30 minutes to build, and everything fit together nicely. Whether you're grilling burgers or slow-smoking meats, this setup delivers big value without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!"
A third added: "Excellent bbq, arrived on time and easy to assemble. Loads of grilling room and the extra shelf is very helpful. Easily managed a bbq for 20 odd people with ease, light weight and easy to manoeuvre to wherever you want it. Money well spent."
However, some weren't over the moon with the product.

Another said: "Not as big as it looks... Easy to put together but wish that the front tray could easily be folded or taken off when not in use. Would have preferred to have put a bit more money in and got something that actually resembles an old old BBQ. NONETHELESS looking forward to a BBQ!"

Shoppers swap Dyson and Shark vacuums for cheaper model with 'good suction'
One previous Shark and Dyson user said that this cheaper model 'was better' Amazon has reduced the price of one of its best-selling vacuums that shoppers have likened to expensive models from Dyson and Shark. The Ultenic U20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner typically retails for £239.99 but is on sale right now for £149.99. The cordless vacuum cleaner has a 600W brushless motor and advanced noise reduction technology, promising to operate 40% quieter than traditional models. The floor brush features a four-layer design: stiff bristles (collecting carpet hair), V-shaped silicone flaps (deeper cleaning), soft PP bristles (captures fine dust particles), and durable nylon (removes pet hair and prevents tangling). Ultenic's U20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has an extendable arm to get in hard-to-reach areas such as beneath low furniture. The floor brush is made with an integrated green light to reveal hidden dust. Over at Shark, consumers can find reductions on bundle deals. For instance, this Classic Upright Cleaning Bundle includes a corded upright vacuum cleaner, with two floor modes, and a corded floor mop with three settings. Usually £369.98, it is on sale for £281. Dyson also has some deals on at the moment, including a sale on its best-selling V11 Advanced vacuum. It has been reduced by £80, now offered for £349.99, from £429.99. Consumers hoping to buy a robot vacuum can save £160 on Shark's Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Cordless Robot Vacuum Cleaner & Mop at Argos. The retailer is selling it for £240, down from £400. The same offer was also available on Shark's website; however, the device is currently out of stock. Ultenic's U20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has an overall customer satisfaction rating of 4.8 from Amazon shoppers and more than 1,000 reviews. One person described it as a 'lovely vacuum' with 'good suction', continuing: "I have always had a Dyson or Shark. But this is a great alternative, and to be honest, I think it is better than my Shark one." Another said they were 'far very pleased with it'. Before adding: "To try it out, I started vacuuming the house (I had already done it the day before) and couldn't believe how much dust, etc it picked up. The lights on it let you see where the dust is." The same shopper continued: "It is excellent on the stairs, using it hand-held and the pull-out brush. Having previously had a Dyson and a Shark I would say this cleaner is better. Great that it stands upright too. Coped very well with picking up pet hair and did not get tangled in brush." A few customers reported suction power problems, with one buyer saying: "Very lightweight and easy to set up. Battery life is accurately described. However, it is not a particularly powerful suction vacuum cleaner. You need to run over the same area several times to get a suitable clean." An additional shopper said: "Having previously had a Shark cordless hoover, I was looking to replace like for like. However, having read all the positive reviews on the Ultenic U20, I decided to go for it. The Ultenic arrived the next day and was super easy to put together. It's lightweight with a decent-sized dust bin that's really easy to empty and clean."

There's 115,000 reasons why Trump should be welcomed to Scotland
Little is yet clear on the economic implications of America's new trade policies and Scotland's position within a radically changed global trade structure. The Trump administration is actively reshaping the way the world does business wherever the US is involved. Unfortunately the recent UK-US tariff deal is not yet the broadly-based trade agreement that would secure jobs for Scottish exporters. A baseline 10% tariff on most goods entering the United States might be less challenging than the EU position but it has hit growth and jobs. For Scotland, it represents a significant challenge to our transatlantic trade relationship, which generated £3.8 billion in exports to the US in 2024. Exporters have been forced to re-route product and quickly develop new markets. The urgency of this month's discussions is underscored by the imminent review in August of the UK-US trade arrangements. The present temporary agreement is fragile, creating anxiety in many sectors of the Scottish economy, from universities to food and drink. The impact on Scotland's key industries is already tangible. Scotch whisky, which suffered a major hit to sales during Trump's first presidency when he imposed 25% tariffs, faces renewed uncertainty. The US remains the largest Scotch export market by value, but global trade turmoil is a big headwind for an industry that exports 90% of its product. Read more: Similarly, Scottish salmon exports to the US are significant. Worth over £200 million annually, this trade is the second largest market for the product. And the pressure that lies ahead to harmonise with American regulatory standards could fundamentally alter Scotland's economic landscape. The US now views trade imbalances in simplistic terms, regulatory differences much more important than tariff levels. This represents a profound challenge to European standards on food safety, environmental protection, and product regulations. Food standards in particular are contentious and any changes could have far-reaching implications. Scotland still aims to keep in lock-step with the EU but may have to make some compromises with Westminster running the negotiations. American investment in Scotland extends far beyond Trump's golf properties. The USA is Scotland's largest inward investor, accounting for around 25% of total foreign inward investment in Scotland. More than 650 US-owned businesses employ around 115,000 people across the country. The pharmaceutical sector, financial services, and technology companies in particular have established significant operations ranging from JP Morgan to Amazon and Microsoft. Encouragingly, it seem that some American businesses are actually now viewing Scotland more favourably. If the UK can successfully negotiate a comprehensive trade agreement that provides greater certainty, Scotland could benefit from increased US investment as companies seek to establish operations that can serve both American and European markets from a single location. Anecdotal evidence also suggests that some individual Americans are considering Scotland for potential relocation, attracted by our political stability, social democratic values, and cultural heritage. The relationship also involves exchange of ideas, as the US is Scotland's top global research collaborator. Eighty links between Scottish and US universities and colleges involve staff and student exchanges and many joint publications. The thousands of US students who come to our universities help to forge long lasting relationships between the two nations. The controversial nature of Trump's presidency may actually be driving some North American tourism to Scotland. Many Canadians say they have changed their thinking about travelling to the USA. But overall Scotland's tourism sector is under pressure, as a weak US dollar makes Scotland expensive for American visitors. Combined with new visitor taxes, this means that the sector does not need any new frictions. Trump's approach to international relations reflects a broader strategy to reshape the global economic order around American interests. The traditional multilateral framework that has governed international trade since the Second World War is being replaced by a more transactional system where countries must demonstrate an alignment of interests to maintain favourable treatment. Scotland's relationship with the US clearly matters but, however much it grates to be dictated to, we have relatively few negotiating levers. Even the EU as a whole seems to be in that position at the moment. It will take our leaders all their skill to make the best of the forthcoming meetings. We must find common ground and realise we might learn from new US policies. It seems reasonable for example, that countries should pay their fair share for what is effectively an American security and financial umbrella. And it took US pressure for the UK recently to drop some surprising tariffs; on pasta, pineapples and fruit juice. In some ways, Trump is pursuing a typical agenda for second term presidents - recognising that time and domestic political leverage is not on his side, making foreign policy a bigger focus. US exceptionalism may be unwinding even as it tears up longstanding agreements. In an increasingly fragmented global order it is more important than ever to protect Scottish interests. When emotion and reason are in conflict, the heart often overrules the head. But this is a time to look beyond personalities. The path forward requires acknowledging uncomfortable realities about American power and Scottish dependence while working to preserve the values and interests that define Scotland.
