I've finally talked the misses round to a Weber One touch Premium, although the price paid is that she really likes the ivory colour...

Still at least I get one! Now to find one at a decent price, looks like I missed out on a possible deal at B&Q, seems around £157 is the usual.

Its shaping up to be a BBQ weekend with the inclement weather moving on a bit. Looking forwards to it.

Youstolemyname · 25 May 2013 at 10:20

definitely some bbq'ing going on tomorrow. Am at a gig tonight so will eat in Liverpool.

Chicken breasts done as kebabs, butchers sausages, ribs and possibly some burgers are my weapons of choice.

I DONE COOKED MEAT!

Mmmmm

Rojin · 28 May 2013 at 10:15

I'm a complete bbq noob. I've been burning meat on 'em for years but it's only since I've looked into getting new one that I've realised where I have been going wrong for so long!

Put on about a stone at the weekend, full on protein fest

Had a BBQ this weekend and used my chimney starter for the briquettes and i worked brilliantly. Highly recommended.

Have we ever had a poll on which is the preferred BBQ option, charcoal or gas?

My vote: Coal - it only feels like a BBQ if you go back to being primitive and making fire the proper way without getting fire through a tap - i.e. gas.

randomshenans · 31 May 2013 at 09:55

Hands down coal, every time.

FrenchTart · 31 May 2013 at 10:15

Coal. I guess gas could be nice for convenience in some cases but then it's not really a BBQ - more an outdoor grill.

monkeyspank · 31 May 2013 at 10:17

coal when there's time. gas is better than using an oven though!

the_r_sole · 31 May 2013 at 11:18

depends what you are doing really, gas is easier to control low temps so if you're doing a smoke on something... and coal for most other stuff

Kimi · 31 May 2013 at 11:21

Coal at the weekend, gas in the week

Glaucus · 31 May 2013 at 12:01

It ain't a bbq unless its coal, man points for the win.

Rojin · 31 May 2013 at 12:41

Coal, anything else is just a glorified camping stove

Kaktus69 · 31 May 2013 at 15:25

Definately coal. I'm sure gas is lot more convenient but has to be coal for a 'proper' BBQ imo.

GinG · 31 May 2013 at 15:50

I do like charcoal, but I love the convenience of the Gas!

Although not too sunny out it is nice and warm so BBQ will be on tonight

Anyone else having one?

I'd love one but I'll be too busy drinking in a beer garden tonight

If the weather is as awesomely warm and sunny as it is today we'll be BBQing tomorrow I think.

Gas just doesn't give the same taste. May as well grill it indoors then eat outside

Rich_L · 31 May 2013 at 18:47

Charcoal is perfect for special occasions such as when it is sunny in the UK.

Gas for cooking for 1-2 people or regularly grilling up.

Nice thing about California is you can have a gas grill at home and then a lot of the beaches and parks (and our housing development as it happesn) have fixed charcol BBQs so easy for groups.
