Where to buy a BBQ

[biotechpete]

I'm after a decent barbeque, can anyone suggest a good place to go?

I got a really good deal at JTF.

Just to add I'm looking for a charcoal BBQ and hopefully somewhere in Sheffield I can look at it.

Pop to Clegg's flat in Rivelin Valley on the 8th May. Loads of household stuff going cheap then. I'm sure he'll have a BBQ.

 

He looks that sort.

What 'sort' is that exactly? How can you define someone by BBQ ownership? Surely it transcends all ethnic and social groups.

Pete, I'm in the market for a good charcoal one too (as in, not the usual made-in-China tin/pig iron flatpack rubbish from B&Q and the like, as they just don't last).

 

I really was after one like my Dad's over in France, which is your bog standard round one mounted on a tripod/bicycle arrangement (like the Weber "One Touch", however without a lid and shallower), but which has a cast iron base dish. And search and try as I might (incl. online), no dice so far.

 

I've been to our local B&Q (Worksop), Wellbeck Estate's garden centre and our local Mole retailer. They're all pretty much shacked-up with Weber, not much else beside that. Weber units are certainly better-made than the B&Q-like own-brand stuff (you know the ones, e.g. those "half-oil drum" units), but IMHO not worth the premium pricing.

 

So far I've narrowed my choice down to a mid-range Dancook round unit (Argos do them, cheapest so far), but I'm still uhm-ing and ah-ing...and looking.

I can recommend the Weber one touch premium, very well made. I've even smoked pork shoulder on it to create amazing pulled pork (takes about 8 hrs, low and slow).

That's exactly what I've found, I want a good BBQ but I'm not so keen on he roundness of the Weber.

I'm thinking of possibly the outback 200:

or the Landmann Tennessee:
