Men's advice needed......
...or females, don't want to discriminate! However Mr L. is getting very excited about the prospect of buyin a BBQ. He's been doing some research, asking around at work etc but I thought I'd ask if anyone could give us their opinions. Brands/prices/things to take into consideration etc....recommendations and those to avoid. Right now, he's torn between a 4 burner with a side burner, or a 5 burner. He went into more specifics, but I must've tuned out, so I thought I'd ask other BBQ fans.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Men's advice needed......
him indoors got himself a 6 burner with side burner. Jackaroo is the make, got it in K Mart in May in the sale for about $250 usually around $350. Havent had loads of bbqs yet but certainly coped well enough for his 40th and about 30 people.

6 Burner with a side burner, covers most eventualities
That side burner is really useful, for everyday outdoor smelly cooking.
edit: Mines a Kmart Jackaroo too

We have bought one from Barbecues Galore as we needed lots of advice. They didn't try and get us to buy a more expensive one either which I thought was good. They also instructed us on what do do with it. Very pleased with their service.

Re: Men's advice needed......
This is great..thanks guys...he's reeling from the idea of a 6 burner and a side burner! Quite amusing actually....do ya think the fascination stems from the caveman hunter/gatherer/cremator days?!
3 legs, looks like someone ripped out there chimney/fireplace from the lounge and rebuuilt it in the garden!!
Mr. L reckons that cooking over charcoal is far superior than cooking with gas, however, he said he can't (quote) be arsed with the preparation required --- I'll remember that quote next time I serve him a microwave meal instead of home cooked nosh!!
