Summer is finally upon us so it's the perfect time to get to a park/roof/anywhere with sun and have a BBQ and the guys at Carhartt have created the perfect product for it. The BBQ not only looks fly with its stainless steal and Carhartt branding it is also surprisingly easy to use and assemble making you look like more of a pro than you really are. The grill can hold four burgers and you don't need to carry big bags of coal with this as a few bits of charcoal will do, making it a lot handier when the BBQ is spontaneous when the suns out. The BBQ is also foldable, would fit in a small bag and comes with an adjustable shoulder strap for portability making it idle for anything from the park to a camping trip. The Carhartt BBQ is available online and instore at Fatbuddha and sold crazy last summer so get yours now.

Now the summer weather is somewhat upon us (fingers crossed it's here to stay...at least for a while anyway), it's time to get yourself equipped for those long sunny days, what better way than to nab this great Portable BBQ from Carhartt . Ever coming up with unique and interesting products under the Carhartt name, the Portable BBQ is constructed from stainless steel and has the Carhartt typeface logo embossed on the side. The BBQ also comes with its very own carry case, so you can always have it on hand to start the party anyplace, anytime! Ask instore or buy online here !

Today is my first day back in Fat Buddha after a almost 3 weeks off! Like many people, I couldn't really afford to go anywhere too exciting this summer, but decided to make what I could of it and have a wee UK holiday instead and it was great.  First stop was Manchester where we stayed for three days. The main reason we went was to see Death Cab for Cutie play (I've never seen them before) but as I also love Manchester, I really was desperate for an excuse to go back and spend some time there. We got there on the Monday, the day of the gig, had a Nandos, bought some Krisky Kremes (another first - wow) and explored the city. The gig itself was incredible - despite being ridiculously hot in the venue, DCFC were amazing and played a meaty 2 hour set finishing with Stay Young Go Dancing, Marching Bands of Manhattan and Transatlanticism as an encore... perfect. The next couple of days we spent really taking advantage of the amazing shopping and food Manchester has to offer, spe...

Attention anyone waiting on Carhartt BBQs ! We were due to receive a large delivery of these in mid-July, but after speaking directly to Carhartt today, it is now going to be mid-August before they are available. This item is still available for pre-order for delivery Mid August and if theres any more information regarding us receiving them, you'll be first to hear about it. Apologies for any inconvenience, but its really out of our hands. We still fully intend on fulfilling all orders made up to this point, including additional future orders. Any further queries, send us a message on facebook , twitter or leave a comment below. Fraser

The good weather may have stopped briefly in Glasgow , but for the rest of the UK the sun is shining brighter than ever - which is good because our English customers have been going nuts for the Carhartt portable BBQ . We now only have THREE BBQs left in-stock, so do not complain WHEN it sells out! Fraser

Yes yes as the title says, BBQ season is upon us, and Carhartt know it! Boasting the capacity to take up to 4 burgers and being made of stainless steel and coming with a little carry-case this is the ultimate summer accessory. Carhartt Portable BBQ Grill Fraser
