I’d say I was cooking steaks on the gas bbq every Sat from start of Jan - prob cooking them at 8-9 pm in the evening. Not a chance you’d get a charcoal going for that.

You are projecting your own laziness on to me.
Plus who the fuck wants to eat their dinner at 9pm.

No - projecting it onto @TheUlteriorMotive and others looking at buying. Not all are as committed as you, carefully tending your charcoal fire in the depths of winter.

Fuck it we need a poll

Gas Grill or Charcoal BBQ

• Gas
• Charcoal

[Tierneevin1979]

Lads, the terms bbq and grilling refer to the cooking method not the thing you are using to cook.

You are really making it sound more complicated than it is.
If you have a decent bbq, with a cheap starter chimney for the charcoal then there is very little too it.
@TheUlteriorMotive is a foodie and will appreciate the superior smokey flavour a charcoal bbq can impart in a short space of time.

A starter chimney now? The bbq kit is getting as expensive as the running kit

You are at nothing without one, seriously.
If you have bad experiences with charcoal not lighting or keeping heat, it’s most likely you didn’t use a chimney to start it.

Aside from @Copper_pipe lads on here are the most gullible consumers around

I might chance this stuff with my new bbq

I got a gas Sahara in Woodies three years ago. Very happy with it and excellent value.

I don’t think its complicated - you figured it out so that’s a good benchmark. I do think it takes additional time and effort and I think that’s worth flagging to to time-poor go-getters like @TheUlteriorMotive

I got married in 2000. Best bbq, I ever invested in

I got a gas Sahara too last year - 4 burner job. Very solid and very happy so far too.

I’m glad that’s settled.
It’s like someone who drives a Kia telling someone who’s thinking about buying a Merc, that they would be better off with a kia.

Lets move on.

This is next on the wishlist for the back garden

[TreatyStones]

Is that the Ooni?
would you get the use out of it?

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

@TreatyStones

I was just thinking the same - I’m sure you could finish stuff in it but aside from pizza and bread is there much else you could cook in it

I’d say its more like someone with a car patiently explaining to someone who insists that his cart and donkey is a “more authentic experience” that convenience is important too. But agreed, we should move on !
