Ok its our wonderful day off tomorrow but its too hot to sit on the beach, I have exercise planned early afternoon so don't want to go on the lash, I refuse to brunch, so want to go window shopping for a new weber braai or bbq. Searching the dealers comes up with the list below. From a blokes perspective which of this lot is worth spending a couple of hours in checking out stuff, any stuff. Needs to be open from say 9 or 10 latest tomorrow morning. Any thoughts

The little ones are just perfect, whilst back in the UK we were cooking for 4 on the in laws bbq all be it in servings and it performed well

Bbqs are like cars in one respect as you don't really need a big one but guys get hem anyway

I know but imagine my horror when we turned up on a desert camp and one of our friends had exactly the same colour BBQ...we now phone round in advance to avoid any clashes.

Just another trauma for the modern man. it was all so easy before the days of mandatory reprogramming.
Now where do I get a bottle of veuve Cliche to go with the caviar

you have reminded me this time of year is great for getting a second hand one on Dubizzle

Brunch? which part of Dubai are you living in?

Millhouse

I hope you didn't forget to but the chimney starter?

My problem with the little one is that you need to put it on a table or it'll kill your back.

Naturally, I bought a massive one that requires an eye watering amount of coal to fire up. I should have known better.

The little ones are a pain if you have little kids. Both offspring stayed well away from the big one in Bahrain but were fascinated with the little one and I am paranoid about kids and bbqs.
I am now window shopped to death. Ace was OK and had a good selection including the monster 980 cm diameter jobby but at 6000 aed its a little over priced. Fortunately was just window shopping and the cheapest place turned out to be Dubai garden centre so that's sorted. 1120 aed for a blue 57cm deluxe with the temp indicator on top (handy for the roast chickens). I still have the chimney starter from Bahrain, super handy bit of kit

Spent the rest of the weekend looking for sheds which didn't exist only to give up and find them on Carrefours website so need to order one of those this week. Now all that's left is 3m x 6m oztrail gazebo to keep the sun off the tocks and handy for camping. I knew we should have bought one before we left oz
Oh and a big trampoline as the kids love em. Think Geant at Ibn Batuta turned out cheapest for those.

So unless anyone has an 8 x 5 shed they are selling cheap that's me and window shopping done.

Oh and a couple of hours drooling over a Honda CRF 450X Enduro.

Out in the dessert this coming Saturday on a hired moto crosser to see if the fat old man can still hack it.
