Has anyone been able to buy a 11kg patio gas cylinder recently? I rang few places that normally deliver them and they are all out of stock.

No local service station that sells them?

Has anyone use a rotisserie kit in the gas bbq? If yes, to what success?

I used to use ours a bit. You have to secure your meat so there’s no chance of it slipping and buy small chickens, large ones are harder to turn.

I use mine all the time for chickens, takes about a hour to cook a large one at 160deg

Yes I think so, it stays very moist as it self bastes as it rotates

I got the rotisserie kit from homestore and more for 49 euro, its plenty powerful for large chickens, 1/4 of the price of a weber kit

This is the advice I needed. Thanks!

Just got one from AliExpress for €30 delivered. Mind you I was waiting about 2 months for it. It's plenty powerful for chickens.

Normally lidl and Aldi will be rolling out the bbq s and they have the heavy duty covers which work really well.

Bought one in woodies. Piece of s**t. Broke in 5 months. I then got this one from amazon. It's amazing

I bought one in woodies last year. So far it has lasted until now and gives excellent results. I paid around 600 for a 4 burner, so price seems to be similar. Building it was challenging, though!

xabi · 24-03-2021 7:05pm

The home store ones seem flimsy any time I checked them, but that could be down to the shops not doing a good job building them.

Glebee · 24-03-2021 8:34pm

Put the homestore 6 burner together a few weeks ago. Seems a decent piece of kit and looks good. Have not fired her up yet though.

Mine is a Phoenix 4 burner from woodies. Very happy with it. I have moved into a new house in December from an apartment and this thing has been used twice per week since then. One screw got loose in the cover, but very easy to fix.

See last steak cooked last week

cubatahavana · 25-03-2021 12:01am

Regarding the cover from previous posts. Some magnets that I got from Amazon offer extra security against the wind (not that I think it’s needed with this cover, but I had them from my previous one)

Got a 3 burner from Homestore and More, first BBQ so didn't want to get anything expensive. We'll see how we get on with this one.

At the risk of sounding stupid, is it just a matter of putting the regulator on, opening a valve and igniting the burners? Anything to look out for safety wise?

I should be looking for patio gas? Do they come with either butane or propane or just one type?

Looking to do a bit of practice with burgers and sausages. I see a lot of people are looking to do more than that but I'm starting from scratch. Any good tips for absolute beginners?

I also got a cheap starter bbq as I'm into smoking more than gas, but the mistakes I made at the start were definitely

A: its hotter than you think, turn it down. Things go from looking raw to charcoal in about 3 minutes while you go looking for a beer
B: reviews of my bbq pointed out uneven heat distribution and my god is that true, so you just have to learn where the hot spots are and keep moving stuff around to ensure they're done evenly
C: get a meat thermometer if you don't already have one, really takes the guesswork out when you're starting (I have a few £3 ones from amazon as I dont want to put a chicken thermometer into beef etc.)

I use propane. most Woodies have it. If you go to calorgas.ie it shows you suppliers around you (my local centra even has them). Cost of a 11 Kg unit is about 60 quid, and then 30 to refill it. They last quite a long time. I would always suggest to have 2, one full all the time. You definitely don't want the gas to run out and be stuck!

I found this website very useful. https://www.101cookingfortwo.com/easy-grilled-chicken-thighs/ I'm linking a chicken thighs recipe that is AMAZING. They have plenty of tips for gas grilling too.

A meat/grill thermometer is a MUST I use this one from Inkbird with fantastic results

Am I the only one who leaves their grill out in the weather?

My last one (cheap jobbie) did rust away but it took over 10 years.
I've just decided to leave my Broil King out, too. The exposed parts are mostly aluminium - that won't rust.
Also an uncovered grill gets to dry out properly when it isn't raining.

In my limited experience of using a cover, I found it just kept the grill slightly damp all winter.

Anyone with me here??

Gas grills are not sealed (plenty of holes in mine for ventilation), the water can come into contact with the cast iron grates and rust hem

I, honestly, found that when covered, my grates tended to rust more - maybe that was down to the quality of the cover, though.

My current grill is out in all weather for 11 months, now - no sign of rust on the grates.

Interesting! My grates rusted a little with the old s**te cover from woodies, but now with this one, everything is perfectly dry.

Same, ok live in Finland where we have way less moisture but i grill or smoke all year round and sometimes have a foot of snow on the smokers when i smoke but zero problems
I have had a cheap copy of the wsm bullet smoker out there for about six years uncovered and no rust
I have a landmann gas grill which has ceramic coating for two years outside uncovered also no problems
But before that i had cheap mustang brand gas grill and that did rust quite fast

Any discounts on Weber Gas BBQs around?

My original Genesis 300 is about 14 years old and is rusting to bits, ill need to replace it for this season.

Where's the best place to buy?

You'll be hard pushed to get a discount on a Weber. I bought mine around this time last year in Jones Garden Centre, Donabate.

Dizzyblonde · 29-03-2021 1:17pm

I was in Jones' the other day and they have a great display. There's lots of stuff on back order though, they said it's a nightmare trying to get stock since Brexit and it's all selling very fast. We were looking for a ground mat for under the bbq and were lucky to get the last one - and they'd only come in recently.

I think there's a danger in waiting for a bargain because you might not get any if last year is anything to go by.

thejaguar · 29-03-2021 2:40pm

The Garden House in Malahide were selling the Weber Q2200 for €299 the other week.

Edit: just had a look on their site and it looks like the offer is gone

ctlsleh · 29-03-2021 8:03pm

has anyone upgraded from a standard genesis 300 to one with the sear station burner (335 of 435) and is the sear station worth the extra cash?

cheers
