need one for the new house, not sure what to get though.

anyone have any recommendations? say budget is £100.

was thinking about a built in one, but would be a waste at winter.

I'm going to get a Cobb:



But I guess if you've got the space you'd want something a bit bigger!

I got me one of these the other week, is v good quality unlike some of the cheap wobbly supermarket shite. Cooks really well too, the air flows through the bottom to give plenty of heat.

Has to be charcoal for a proper barbecue, if you get a gas one you may aswell cook it in the oven

Id advise you to avoid a gas bbq if you can, new ones use a new type of bottle and there really epensive at the moment.

thats quite nice that, and cheap! is it high enough without having the bend right over to cook?

i get terrible back pain so can't really bend over a lot as it messes me up

Charcoal bbq's don't really matter, my dad only buys cheapo ones as there isn't much else to improve on really.

looking for more to do with the quality side of things. i hate flimsy stuff and most we've seen already look and feel like they could fall over in a slight breeze.

mea and the mrs got a fold up one from homebase, £120 though. but the cooking area is ample for around 8-9 people. plus when you have done just folds flat and goes in the shed. spot on

Gas BBQ's are shite, what is the point in them? It's just an outside oven then not a BBQ.

We have a small brick one we pull the wire mesh off when it's not in use.
