BBQ Buying ?

[John h]

The big Question ;
Gas

or

Charcoal ?

oh and any ideas best deals and quality ??

[Albannach]

Charcoal. I buy a new one every year, so never pay more than about £30. B&Q old stock is a good place to start.

And Lumpwood is way better than them briquette (or whatever they are called) things.

i grew up with charcoal BBq's in SA, but since moving to ireland and not having the ready supply of hard DRY wood we have now got a gas one we got from homebase about 5 yrs ago, 4 burners (2 for cooking over coals and 2 for the grill plate....

We have an outback BBQ 3 burners and it's awesome!! Mmmmm BBQ

We went to five different Garden Centres, Focus DIY, and Homebase oh and a place called the Range The Gas ones are really nice (excluding price tags) Homebase had the biggest choice, they didn't have any of the volcanic rock coals in them ? is it just straight gas grilling now ? Wanted one of them fire pit things but swmbo said NO

I honestly fail to see the point in a gas BBQ.

No waiting!! An important consideration IMHO.....



We have both charcol is nice when loafing around camping, or lots of people round house. If just the two of us at home then just 'cook' outdoors on the gas one.

[Albannach]

If I want speed, I cook on the perfectly good cooker we keep in the kitchen. BBQs aren't about speed.

I am really unhappy about throwing our Barrel BBQ in the skip last autumn, have always has charcoal, but brother-in-law got an Outback gas BBQ and as Tony N said ; very quick and saves time especialy when late home from work you can be cooking pretty quickly no waiting etc ?

John why do you think you got a wife.

[Bogus]

GAS No competition, and get one without those lava rocks. You can use it anytime rain or shine. I reluctantly moved from traditional to gas 4 years ago, and was glad I did.
