    It's that time of year again for people to have a BBQ outside with your household instead of eating inside. Anybody seeing any offers for a gas BBQ or have discount codes etc?

    Just checked old e-mails, it was May in 2018 anyways. Just in case you buy one tomorrow then next week they tell you it’s part of the May offer

    Lidl had a 3 Burner Gas Wagon BBQ for e200, first week of May last year.
    They tend to repeat their offers every year

    Aldi had similar in May for e130 a few years ago
    http://offers.kd2.org/en/ie/aldi/pcfoP/

    Aldi had/have this one on 02/04

    Excellent, you are correct it is normally the may bank holiday weekend.
    Now all we need is the shops to open.

    4 burner from Argos for under 120 delivered


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,968 ✭✭✭blindside88


    Home store email in this morning. BBQ’s half price and available for delivery. I want to get a new BBQ myself so having a look. As a side note, can BBQ’s be left out all year round or do they really need to be stored in a shed in the winter?

    I have left my 4 burner BBQ outdoor over the past few years. I got it from home store and more at the time. I have a cover 9n it tied down over the w8nter

    This is year 4 now and on opening up I see s9me of the burners are seriously corroded. The burner 4 dropped off leav8ng me with just 3 burners now

    I suppose you could say if you happ6bto get say 4 years out of a BBQ .... then leavin* outdoor is f8ne


  • Registered Users Posts: 652 ✭✭✭GaGa21


    Lidl BBQ is out on the 30th with accessories for sale too.
    Anyone buy it before and recommend?
    Home store half price on BBQs too but they definitely don't look the original price!


  • Registered Users Posts: 36 villamar


    SuperValu have a three burner on sale for €199 approx at the moment


  • Registered Users Posts: 308 ✭✭bergipau


    I am planning on purchasing the 6 burner form homestore, but 50 delivery is steep

    That’s me out, even at 25 I think is high

    Ya..... €50 is taking the Michael!!! To be honest.... the 6 burner at a RRP old over €500 is cloud cuckoo land stuff.

    I am the same. No way I will pay that for delivery. I’d prefer to put the 50 into a better quality bbq.
    Their prices are good and if I could collect I’d order one now, but I will not pay 50.
    This is what I am looking at now

    Would these be the bbqs that are twice the price they are worth and discounted to "half price"

    Why not add a few bottles of Tesco "half price" wine that is artificially put at €16-€18 for a few days to make mugs of their customers.


    Basically, the so called "half price" offers are a cod. They are probably OK value at the "half price" but don't for one minute think you are getting a bargain.

    No I didn’t.
    I got one of these

    https://www.topline.ie/garden-outdoors/outdoor-living/bbqs-outdoor-cooking/gas-bbq/landmann/grill-chef/6-burner-gas-bbq

    It’s ok. I paid 350 for it, it’s worth that but I wouldn’t pay more for it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 261 ✭✭tommyombomb


    Bump anyone seeing any deals or codes on gas bbqs. Looking for medium sized one. Willing to spend 200-300 but if quality available can stretch. Weber appears to be best or else best at marketing. Any ideas greatly appreciated

    Any good black Friday deals on BBQs out there?

    I’m thinking of buying that. Seems to be €400 in most places.

  • Registered Users Posts: 127 ✭✭gallantman


    Anyone seen any bargains recently ?

    Have you tried this out yet? It looks like it would be kind of awkward to feed more coal into it (only through the top is it?)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭Masala

    Hi.... no have not opened yet.

    YES- coal is thru the top but the coal-rack is probably only 6-8 inches down from the top. So I dont see it as a major problem - just light up and then put on the top grill with the food on it and cook away!

    I suppose the awkward part will be cleaning out the ashes as I expect I will have to turn the barrel upside-down to empty same out!

    I suppose the real reason I got it was that it can stay outside over the winter with a cover on it. And I like it as a 'piece-of'furniture' that can sit on my patio as a talking point !! and I can out by bottle of beer on it while I potter about!!

    It looks really cool! Making one occupied my thoughts for a few months a few years back, never got around to it though.

    I just thought that for longer cooks it would be hard to add more coals to keep it going as you'd have to remove the food first.
