A favourite of Duchess Meghan, the Beckhams and Holly Willoughby is the Big Green Egg, a kamado-style grill.

The luxe BBQ heats up to 1,000°C and allows for 18 hours of cooking time, meaning anything from delicious slow-cooked ribs to roast chicken are easy to make. It's so durable that it comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Alternatively, you could invest in the also smaller – but quite powerful – Big Green Egg MiniMax. It's apparently the model Holly Willoughby has at her family home.

While Duchess Meghan is known to be a passionate foodie, we've also taken a look at which BBQs some of your favourite celebrity chefs are using. For example, Gordon Ramsay is such a fan of BeefEater BBQs he has even invested one for his London restaurant, The Narrow.
