After many years of living in apartments, mrsyoustolemyname and I got our first house last October. It has a rather nice garden even if I do say so myself and with the first rays of sunshine appearing today I am in BBQ frenzy mode!

Ultimately I want a Weber Smokey Mountain but since I want to BBQ like RIGHT NOW! I am off to grab something cheap and cheerful that will allow me to cook over charcoal. Weather Forecast is ok...ish

So, any suggestions for a high street BBQ bargain? This one is leading the chase at the minute: http://www.diy.com/nav/garden/outdo...ongley-Rectangular-Charcoal-Barbecue-12718622

What does everyone else cook on? Any experienced pitmasters want to share tips? I thought this thread would make a good resource for all things BBQ :D
 
Definitely plan to break out my Smokey Mountain this season. Not really used it since buying it. Sadly I am not an experienced pitmaster :\
 
Gonna grab a Smokey Joe this year and see how I get on with it.

Decided something like a Weber One Touch would be overkill for just me and the missus, probably even if we've got guests. Figure a smaller grill will need less charcoal so I will be able to use it more without worrying about the waste.

Also gonna give this mod a shot I think:

After years of buying the £30-£50 argos/asda/tesco BBQ's, I cannot stress enough the difference in moving to a weber. It was a wedding present that has lasted 4 years now, and is still going strong.

I am incredibly motivated to try and get a Performer Deluxe, just have to convince the wife ;)
 
This is how we BBQ :D

Raining, raining tomorrow.
However if you live in London meant to be sunny tomorrow and 18degress, lucky sods.

I need some charcoal.
 
Think I will be picking up a new BBQ in the next few days too.

Not sure what yet though but will keep an eye here to see what the general consensus is.
 
I like the idea of being able to smoke low and slow or grill over charcoal which is why the landmann combi BBQ is catching my eye. However, the Weber Smokey Mountain gets all the best reviews, and the ProQ gear is supposed to be good too.
 
Yeah that landmann one is cracking value. Posted it the other year. So much cheaper compared to anything else similar. I doubt it's the best build quality, but who cares.
 
From what I have read about the landmann some sealing is required after assembling it to stop it leaking smoke and maintain temperature during a long smoking process. I hope my neighbours like hickory flavoured washing :)
 
Just ordered £70 of amazon vouchers, use up my hotel points. Still not sure if I can afford it, May is an extremely costly month.
Mates stag/wedding, a Holliday, also three of our birthdays +2 family birthdays.
