I was going to say you managed well for 20 people on that! Good going :)

I did a 3hr chicken last night and the ribs I got from the butchers were so thick it was pretty much belly and ribs together, so did a rack of those for about 8hrs.

As someone who doesn't currently own a bbq, I'm being told "smokers" are the way to go. Can anyone offer some advice, my previous two bbq's were cheapo gas ones and really not very good. Need something before the Scottish weather is no good for another year. I pretty much now have a lot of wood to hand also since I moved house and installed multifuel stoves, if that helps??

You can smoke stuff on a decent bbq. it is a bit more hassle than doing it on a specifically designed smoker, but I would say get a good bbq first and a smoker afterwards if you still think you need one.

Finishing the beef ribs off in the oven due to BBQ constraints. They had a good few hours of smoke though.

I'm in a rented house and have nowhere to store a BBQ. Am I going to ruin one if I leave it out all winter? I'm fed up of disposable BBQs now - want to get on with smoking some stuff.

Oh, and what features should I be looking out for? What separates a good BBQ from a bad one?
