    Charcoal snobs. FFS.

    Charcoal BBQ tastes much better. Fair enough you like the handiness of the gas BBQ but it's at the expense of flavour. Who would want year-round gas-cooked BBQ food? It's a summer thing and is supposed to be a leisurely activity.

    Plenty of people I know fire up the BBQ to do a steak or burgers all year round on top of BBQing all summer regardless of weather. One person I know has a permenant BBQ area with a roof so that he can use it hail, rain or shine (something I plan to have in my own house too in future).

    It's a leisurely activity but it's also a very nice way to cook food and with the ease of firing up a gas BBQ you can have that all year round.

    How's the quality IRL? It looks a bit on the flimsy side in the pics?

    Seems fine to me, I certainly wouldn't call it flimsy.
    I assembled it in the house and getting it out the back door and into the shed wasn't easy due to the weight of it.

    I seen it in the shop last week and was really tempted at the original price of €260.
    I'll be using it for the first time on Sunday.

    Why bother? It's just gas-cooked food and the appeal of eating outdoors in anything less than warm weather is lost on me.

    I rarely eat BBQ food outdoors anyway, kitchen table is far handier.

    Why bother? Becuse it's BBQ meat which is delicious and in no way comparable to that cooked in a pan, in a grill or an oven.

    You're talking like nobody has eaten food from a gas BBQ. Food from a BBQ does not taste different from using a gas hob, grill, or oven. No different. So, fine, you get convenience but you miss out on the BBQ taste. What's the point?

    Not eating BBQ food outdoors? There is nothing better than al fresco dining on a warm day.

    So let me get this straight: you use a gas BBQ and eat the BBQ food indoors? Why do you bother with a BBQ at all when you've removed all the elements that make having one great?

    Well I completely disagree as would the vast majority of people I reckon (certainly everyone I know who has gas BBQs, which is everyone I know bar one person). There is no comparison between cooking food on a gas BBQ and cooking it with a Cooker. It's a totally different flavour, it's just lies and nothing more claiming it's the same.

    As for eating outside, yes I do sometimes and I really enjoy it but other times I don't do it due needing a proper sized table, weather not great, I usually eat late so it's cold even on a nice day etc.

    Pfft. Cooking on a gas "Bbq" is just using the cooker outside. In effect n*cker cooking. Ye're only codding yerselves thinking thats what bbq tastes like.

    Ironically that wall of text was describing how to make a simple burger and BBQ from lighting the BBQ, preparation of burger and dressings and cooking of burgers to sitting down to eat in about 35minutes...in total. That you dont need to do all that mince your own Artisan butcher mince and 101 seasonings malarkey thats likely to put people off making their own burgers and settling for some big Als.

    ...and thats still too much work for you? Enjoy your Big Als so. :D

    Big Als? Making burgers is fantastically easy. Just because people don't want to read a wall of text doesn't mean they don't make their own burgers.

    One of my best purchases was an electric BARBQ starter, kinda like a kettle element, place it under the coals and away it goes, beautiful flames within 10 minutes.
    My favourite is South American style beef, get a slab 3-4 KGS of beef with a lot of fat on it, sear the outside of the slab over the flames, then slice it, cover it in rock salt and cook each slice, the result is amazing.
