Good Value BBQ

LowOdour

Thinking of picking up a Gas BBQ this weekend. Dont have a whole lot to spend, and the best within my budget (120 euro) that I have seen is in woodies (i have 10% discount)

Is there anything similar in somewhere like B&Q, Dunnes, Tesco etc? Prefably for cheaper than 120!

They also have a 2 burner (withour side burner) version for €80 reduced from €100. I saw one of these in Woodies Sandyford during the week and it didn't have the regulator we use for the Yellow Calor Gas cylinder so you may need to purchase one of those also.

Cheapest I've seen in B&Q is €100 for similar spec. Seems great value to me.

The best place to get them is baldoyle builder providers. I got the outback brand for €120 and it's a great bit of kit

OK. I know I'll regret this. Is it a bbq you're looking for, or an outdoor gas cooker?

If you want a perfectly serviceable cheap bbq, try a biscuit tin with a grill on top. Had four going at the same time last week. Intense, constant, and even heat. Fed the multitudes. Perfect.

The last bbq rusted away after years if non-use.100 quid wasted. Could have paid for a ton of bbq-able meat. If the biscuit tins aren't used again by the end of the summer, into the recycling with them.

If its a bargain you want, you could get something that works perfectly well for a fiver.

Fair enough point. And its a good suggestion, however using the method you suggested would give people VERY little control over the cooking aspect. There is a lot more to BBQ'ing than just throwing the meat on a hot grill and flipping it. You cant just throw chicken on a hot grill. The inside will be raw. You need a lid so you can cook the meat on direct heat for a few minutes on each side and then close the lid and take the meat off the direct heat so the BBQ turns into an oven. You will get a great smokey taste from the meat by using this method.

It wrecks my head when people cook their chicken in the kitchen oven before putting it on the BBQ.
