GAS BBQ's I hate them!!!!!!!

Had to use the fire pit last night to cook the chicken. Bloody good it was too!

Cannot believe that in a city surrounded by desert that you cannot get a decent BBQ. Must be all those namby pambies that come from Dubai not wanting to get there hands dirty

Even went to Carrefour last night in the vain hope of finding something and it is all shit that they stock.

The only glimmer of hope is that one of the shops on Lagoona will be getting some stock in, but after Eid, of Rosle BBQ's. Good quality but expensive, but looks like my only option unless some kind soul is going to the UAE wants to bring me back a Weber

Oh no, how utterly awful for you.

Are you sure you wouldn't be happier posting about such appalling disasters on EW?

Stop being such a snob/ponce. It makes you look ridiculous. If you cannot find something suitable in Ace Hardware or Dubai Garden Centre then you are way too fussy for this place.

I don't recall seeing either of those stores in Doha, but it was a quick visit. Maybe you could post a map for him...?

If it is so very important to you to have a particular BBQ grill, then why don't you
A. order one on line
B. fly to Dubai buy it there and bring it back

Oh, and IF you get what you are looking for, make sure you do not leave it outside for a prolonged period of time, otherwise it will rot away in about a year.

I am neither a snob or a ponce, rather somebody who knows what they want. Didn't realise that having standards and knowing what I require put me in that category.

Carrefour did do a half reasonable one 6 months ago. 2 Side tables and a front one think it cost 400/500 chips. It isn't brilliant but better than nothing.

If you have high standards and know that you want to manage a team of expensive prostitutes, that would indeed make you a ponce and possibly a snob towards lower quality offerings.

MaserMan

Would that not be an expensive pimp?

Problem with the Carrefour ones is that that none do proper airflow control. Some have holes in the bottom but that is more for removing the ash afterwards.

Important when you use it as an oven as well.

Might be sounding pouncy by saying that

You don't want a normal BBQ is what you are saying, meaning the Thread topic is wrong. It should read :-

Still Cant find a Poncey BBQ I could buy at home but have no chance of finding in this place.

Go to Carrefour spend the 500 and sling some steaks on, its the weekend after all.

Why don't you build one yourself?
One of these brick thingies.

MaserMan

Like it. But would be wasting my money at Carrefour

MaserMan

You have not seen my bricklaying skills!
