Default My BBQ Karked it, right on the festive season

o now I need a new one. I'm after some advice please.

Anyone got any expeirence with "the big Green Egg" type BBQ's with the ceramic enclosures. They apparently are the best type of BBq's money can buy. Or the Komodo style.

Hopefully someone on here has one... are they worth the money ?

I've got to make a hasty purchase by New Years eve.


Weird looking bugger, but apparently the bees knees when it comes to BBQ'ing

As you said "Weird'

Never seen those before.

But if you can't decide, there are loads of others going cheap, just in time for Christmas.


Check your GAS bottles everyone.... that'll run out mid BBQ on Christmas day

The grid seems small, hon? How many you need to cook for?

What happens if the coals fall through, or is it gas?

The Weber Q range is really good - can recommend them.

Yeah, Webers are excellent. We hardly use the other one since we got the Weber. Joints of meat are just so succulent and you can throw veggies round the side for a sunday lunch with no washing up. We are having beer can chicken for dinner today. So much easier than standing over a hot barbie turning snags!

We bought a Weber and got rid of the big BBQ. The Weber grills food so much better and is one of the best things we have bought here, it's fab

We do the same.... delicious roasts... self bastes.

Had some lovely meat on it. You can get accessories for it too... breakfast plate etc. Mine folds up and you can take it with you places on the trolley it comes on.

Fab!

Narrowed it down to one similar to yours TP

I didn't realise that "the big eggs" were charcol only.

Probably go for a family webber Q300

Although I may be shooting myself in the foot with this purchase. I'll probably end up doing all the roasting and grilling from this point on.

We generally only need to cook for 4. 10 people would be once a month at most.

Webbers are the nuts... Joe's BBQ's down the road here do them and the Beefeater ones, but says the Webbers do 90% of his trade...

Another vote for the Webber bbq's here. My parents bought one last year and thus far I'm the only one who's used it . Very controllable, easy to clean and extremely well made. Ours is on its deathbed too and when it goes, I know what I'll be replacing it with.

Reminds me of the "Smash" advert back in the 1970s! Specially the big one in the pic with the lid open!
