While scouting for deals this Amazon Prime Day, I've spotted what may be my finest soon-to-be impulse purchase yet; a totally necessary Japanese BBQ grill.

I've already fallen victim to a £20 iced coffee-maker this year, but now I've seen this shichirin, I'm once again reaching for my credit card. Right now, the small size is 23% off, knocking the price down to £307 (was £399); a noteworthy £92 saving on what looks to be a well-made portable grill. That's perfect for me and my upcoming camping trip, but you can also score an even bigger 34% discount on the medium-sized model, now £327.27 (was £499).

Made by Kasai Grills in partnership with British Michelin Star chef Tommy Banks, this kind of indoor-outdoor grill can draw rich, deep flavours from meat, cooking them just inches away from the charcoal. It's built with tiles that reflect heat into the grill to keep temperatures steady, and Kasai claims it can withstand up to a whopping 1200°C. That's as hot as a pottery kiln.

My top pick is the small-sized Kasai Japanese grill, which has a neat 23% discount for Prime Day. At 26.5 x 40.5 x 21cm (DxWxH) and 12.34kg, it's not exactly ultra-portable, but I'm driving to my campsite, so I can easily pop it in the boot of my car without taking up too much room. Below, the Nano model might be better if you plan to hike a little to your campsite.

At 26.5 x 54 x 21 (DxWxH) and 24.6 kg, this isn't one I'd travel with too readily, but it's great as a garden and at-home grill. With its roomy grill, you can feed a larger group at once without having to wait your turn to grill.

It's not the strongest discount here, but if you want to be able to feed the whole family and then some, this larger size is the best choice. Just don't try and shove it in a backpack for camping, because at 22kg and 26 x 70 x 21cm (DxWxH) it's more than a little hefty.
