Charcoal BBQ

youcancallmeal

I'm looking for a charcoal bbq from someone who delivers. I've seen these 2 but wondering is there any better deals out there?

Homestore €100 + €25 Delivery

Aosom.ie €101 free delivery Generally seems better than Homestore bbq but never even heard of this website.

Muahahaha

If your budget is around 100-150 then Homestore or the other link would be fine. Be warned though Homestore BBQs dont last all that long in Irish weather and just generally. Many on the Charcoal BBQ thread over on the Food forum have said they fall apart after 3/4 years use and you end up having to buy another one anyway.

Weber kettles are the bulletproof brand in the charcoal category. More expensive brand new but worth paying the extra as they last years and years. Sometimes you can find bargains on Adverts and Donedeal, I got my Weber off Adverts 4 years ago for 50 euro and its still going strong, no rust or anything and its outside year round. It is 9 years old in total and going fine after a lot of use the last few summers.

Not sure where you are based but I got this 2 weeks ago and very happy with it. Collected it.

I would agree with Muahahaha and the advice I was given was to buy the best brand you can for the money you want to spend ..

Got this from Argos (on eBay) a few weeks ago, €55 all in, delivered in 3 days, very happy with it. Depends what you want, if its going to be stationary or packed away daily

Looks ideal, do you reckon it needs to be brought in every night, if there is a threat of rain?

Has a laminate coat so dont think its likely to rust, can fold into half shell and be packed away if a few screws removed. Very quick to light charcoal and cleanup compared to previos one
Customer reviews on argos website positive

Excellent, thanks for that, will go ahead with it today.

Want to get into BBQ-ing, but feel like the most sensible thing is to buy something like this first, before splashing out a few hundred quid.

Thanks again!

I found this one from argos as well which is similar. It's €10 more but has cover, wheels and utensils included. I've gone ahead and ordered
