Barbie in Africa
I use one a lot in the desert because cooking over and open fire cant be beaten and gives you a bit more flexibility. In East Africa I used one quite a bit, or a Swahili Jika stove (little charcoal stove). Mind you, there isnt much you can do with a 'proper' BBQ that you cant do with a hole in the ground and maybe a sheet of steel or steel mesh. Do you really need the thing? And will it take the pounding of African roads?
Charcoal is funny stuff - some African states (eg Kenya, Tanzania) get stroppy if you take charcoal over the border as they have almost no hardwood forests left and they dont want you taking whats left away. Others (eg Egypt) have stacks and stacks of it for sale but havent realised they've no trees left. Worth being a bit circumspect with it at border posts.
