No idea if there is anything better but it gets recommended everywhere. I've only used mine once but happy so far!

Looking good. I love the way beef gets when you salt it in the fridge for a few days.

Posted in the Things I've Bought thread, but also thought I might venture in here lol
15kg of BigK ACH15 charcoal and some oak and applewood chips for some smoky flavour - gonna do a lump of pork soon, low and slow. Really looking forward to it!

That's great coal. It sparks a bit but calms down when you get the lid on

Just got a Weber One Touch premium from Homebase as they have a 20% discount on BBQ's this weekend. With various Nectar point offers also applied it came to £160 which is about the cheapest around at the moment. 
All I need now is some warm sunshine and the incessant wind to drop a bit.

Another pork shoulder in the slow cooker tonight. Roll on two weeks for my proQ frontier
Today's the day the beef above hoes in the bbq. What temp am I looking for for a rare to medium finish?

Okay that looks a good guide plus the 5 to 10 degrees below before taking it out

Might have to put some skirt steak on the BBQ tonight just so I'm less envious 
Looking at pulling the plug on investing in a new BBQ. I see Homebase have 20% off atm, but i only have around £80 max to spend. Anyone have any experience of the Weber Compact 47cm? Wish i could justify spending double and getting the One Touch Premium.
it's all faf and nonsense. spending more won't make the food taste better

^ Looking good.
Moobert - there are nice features on the more expensive BBQs but as macca says, you can cook just as nice food on the cheaper models so personally I'd get something cheap now and upgrade later if you really feel the need. I wouldn't even go Weber to start with - you can probably get a £50 B&Q/etc branded kettle BBQ that will be perfectly serviceable for this year and maybe next. After that you'll have a better idea if paying the premium for a better BBQ is worth it for you.

Got my new Weber One-Touch 57 yesterday.
Got a few people over next weekend for a bbq.
Home made burgers, 48 hour marinated chicken tikka skewers and quick marinated mackerel are all on the menu.
