Choosing The Right BBQs

Compatibility with Existing Tools: The Bosch IXO attachment system requires a compatible IXO cordless screwdriver. These attachments offer excellent value by transforming tools you may already own into versatile outdoor entertaining accessories.

Protection Requirements: Measure your barbecue carefully before purchasing covers. Draper offers different sized polyethylene covers (OC1 and OC2 models) to accommodate various barbecue dimensions. Ensure proper fit with 50-100mm clearance whilst maintaining secure positioning against wind.

Brand Quality and Engineering: Consider accessories from brands matching your existing tool collection. Festool and Bosch products deliver the same engineering excellence and build quality as their professional power tools, ensuring longevity and reliable performance.

Multi-Functionality: Opt for versatile accessories serving multiple purposes, particularly if storage space is limited. Power tool attachments take up minimal space compared to standalone kitchen gadgets whilst offering practical functionality.

Safety Information

Gas Equipment: Use weed burners and gas-powered lighters according to manufacturer instructions. Check hoses and connections for leaks before use, and store gas canisters in well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources, complying with HSE guidance.

Fire Safety: Position barbecues on stable, level ground away from buildings, fences, and vegetation. Keep water or sand nearby for emergencies, never leave lit barbecues unattended, and ensure adequate ventilation when cooking.

Weather Protection: Only fit covers to completely cooled barbecues. Trapped heat can damage covers and create fire risks. Regularly inspect covers for wear, replacing when necessary to maintain effective protection.
