BBQ'ed Burgers and Kebabs

I wasn't going to let the fact that I live in a flat prevent me from having a BBQ this fine evening, which had no chill to it even when that lit the clouds dips out of sight...

 ...so I purchase a throwaway BBQ and head to my local park for BBQ'ed Burgers and Kebabs, which was a half disaster (or success depending on your point of view). It turns out that the 'cooking within 15 minutes' claim on the packet was entirely inaccurate as the starter paper combusted and disappeared within 5 minutes without warming the coals. Oh. I then spend the next 30 to 40 minutes blowing on what little embers there were to get some kind of spread to the embers to allow some cooking and to be fair I got a couple of tasty juicy burgers cooked, but only got an outer charring of the chicken, sweet peppers and onion kebabs that needed finishing in the oven. I'm thinking of getting a proper portable BBQ, which is undoubtedly an invitation for the weather to turn...
