Cheapest I could find it, much more competitive than Amazon has ever been for this BBQ, supposed to be good, 5 year warranty too

Got this a couple of months ago, Was €299 then but ordered it online for collection and got 1st order discount of €40 I think,
worth a try if it works it cant be beaten 😁.
Just an fyi. This is the 2000 model and not the 2200 model which would be the more common one sold on Ireland. It does not include built in thermometer so there can be up to 50 euro price difference from the q2200. I almost bought this but opted for built on thermometer model as reviewers said it was essential if you are doing indirect cooking etc. Garden house had q2200 in Dublin had it for 299 I think.
So they're essentially the same except for a thermometer on the hood, I'd be inclined not to pay 50 quid for that, the manual will tell you what temperature it's at on high for x minutes, 450.
But I'm just very tight :)
There's also hand held infra red gun thermometers in Lidl the past week for cheapish, might be a good alternative
Personally I'd buy a decent separate thermometer but getting the temps from the manual is foolish.
The 2200 also has a push ignitor with a battery
Yeah it's personal choice on it really.. I have digital meat thermometer from Amazon but that's for Internal food temperature.. the built in one tells you cooker temperature...as soon as you open hood temperature it decreases dramatically so you won't get reading of what temperature it is with a handheld reader. it's essentially an oven closed so you need to know is it 150 or 180 or 200 degrees.. not essential for summer bbq but If you want to do more bbq variation like slow cooking ribs or lamb then it's needed
Two things I wouldn't trust, the manual, and a Lidl thermometer.
You can get a firebyrd Bluetooth thermometer for about 20 quid on Amazon that has two probes, one for the meat and one for the ambient temperature. The built in thermometers wouldn't be the most accurate anyway
Have one for 8 years. They are excellent. Drilled in a banggood €10 analogue thermometer in to top of life.
Offer is all Weber dealers but woodies have it at 250 now so with cashback it's 105 net.
Too good to turn down.
I fitted a thermometer.
With thermometer fitted
has anyone had issues with theirs not heating properly . been 100% cleaned but its heat is all over the place high in some parts but almost nothing in others .very strange
This thread is almost two years old 😁. Separate thread on the latest 2024 deals ....Thermometer looks great....Could you give details of where you got it ?? But might be best to put it in the current thread for everyone .
It's a great bbq for the money, but it is probably slightly underpowered.
However the holes can become blocked with grease so a toothpick can unblock those, and then also keep the lid closed for the initial warm up at least and it should bring the entire space well over 200c, there is still cold patches thou
Some owners have claimed to have improved the issues with temperatures by swapping out the standard regulator for an adjustable version. Obviously any modifications like this are at your own risk.
