Aldi launches a wooden log that cooks steaks and burgers without a BBQ

Aldi shoppers are going wild for a special wooden log burner.

The budget-friendly retailer has launched a huge range of barbecue, camping and garden products among their special buys and there's one item in particular that shoppers can't get enough of.

Gardenline's Swedish Eco Torch has sold-out already and customers are already wondering when it will be back in stock.

The eco torch is a wooden log burner which can be used both for cooking and as a heating solution outdoors.

Priced at £6.99, it's a hit due to it being eco-friendly and because of its versatility.

Gardenline say the Swedish Eco Torch is ideal for cosy evenings, camping, cooking and festivals and provides heat for up to two hours.

The kiln dried FSC wood logs have been carved to be used as a burning torch firepit or for natural cooking and states food will be ready to cook on it in 25 minutes.

Customers have rated the product four out of five overall.

One online buyer said: "Hope these come back into stock!

"Bought in store for camping trip and wish I could get more.

"Great heat, no smoke and wonderful centrepiece to watch the flames dance. I would recommend resting on a couple of bricks to prevent damage to ground."

Another said: "Beware, burns really well, too well in our case.

"Had one on the patio, burnt right down and cracked slabs underneath due to the intense heat. Spectacular while it lasted though."

We had the chance to try out the log burner before it completely sold out.

Placing it on an existing barbecue, the burner lasted for up to an hour-and-a-half and provided excellent heat throughout the evening.

It burned beautifully and didn't produce any harmful smoke either, which made it less of a worry lighting it later on in the day.

A great visual too and a cheaper addition to a firepit.
