I have a pet hate for gas BBQ's, I just don't see the point of them, especially the flat ones that don't grill, you may aswell be cooking on a fryingpan. I like my BBq'd food to taste like it has been cooked over a flame.

I have searched everwhere in Australia (slight exageration but I have searched a lot) and all you can get are the kettle type or something which is rivaled by a chuckaway BBQ.

So if anyone else is of he same opinion then I would suggest getting a BBQ in the sales on now and keeping it boxed up to ship over when you go.

Just chuck the meat on the dying embers. Alternatively, if you like it fancy, borrow some wire from a nearby fence and make a grill.

Yep B&Q do a grill and a coal holder about £15. When you arrive buy some bricks and build, ours cost about £30 all in.

Gas BBQ's are handy for everyday outside cooking. It beats cooking inside when the temperature is already high.

Some of the Gas ones have the open grills, and the flame can get up and cook the meat quite easily.

Remeber in Oz you will be likely to use the BBQ much more than in the UK so gas is peferred as it is much easier & cleaner to use. Also you'll need the flat bed to brown your onions!

I have noticed that quite a few people have a big "weber" kettle BBQ aswell as a flat bed gas BBQ as these do cook a fantastic roast......

Gas barbies are also really handy when theres a total fire ban, most days in summer then

Apparently here though they are gagging for them. Might get to wear all the gear before the summer's out. better have my size an all or i'm not playing. top tip: look the biz - do the biz. No camera, no combat...yadda yadda
