It's a sign. Saw a few BBQs* in B&Q yesterday and got introduced to dual fuel ones. Always had coal ones myself but appreciate the convience of a gas BBQ, plus we have a spare tank. My initial concern was also the coal tray seemed awfully close to the grill above. Looks like they're some good options to look into over the last page or two.

this is very close the grillstream one that i have. With the grillstream you have a double layered grill to reduce flair ups and the food sits further up form the coals due to this. Works well for me, even smoked ribs on it for 6hrs, by removing the grills and adding more coals when needed.
Awesome, cheers. Watched a couple of videos to visualise the distance between the food and coals - looks better than the Gas2Coal. Liking the fat collection, modular circle burner in the middle, side burner. A shame that there doesn't seem to be enough space in the lower cupboard for a gas canister. Now to find a good price for the Grillstream 4 burner.
Edit - Grillstream hybrid 4 burner ordered
. Cant' wait.

Just put a full chicken in the hybrid…apple wood doing the cooking.

Thats the advantage of the hybrid, coals light up underneath with the gas…….2mins and ready to go

Sounds like the fuel is damp!
Maybe. Though they are the sort that get as creative as burgers and sausages and can it a day.
My missus called me a BBQ snob when I said the same thing on Sunday. All I could smell was burning lighter fluid coming from the various houses around me.
Usually followed by the smell of burning Richmond sausages.
They're my guilty pleasure! I know they're terrible and barely class as sausages, but they remind me of my dad making me sausage butties as a kid.

Cleaned off all the rust from my grill grates, then did a few hours of re-seasoning layers of peanut all to get them all ready for a BBQ in a few weeks.
Weber briquettes are ace, I get the hype now.

Mrs Chris ended up spotting Thermapen had the red colour (only) on offer, so got me one of those. Having now used it for a couple of BBQs, I realise I was probably completely over cooking everything! Burgers from our local butcher were really good cooked a little over medium.
Get some photos up! I thought my Big Joe 2 was hefty at 160kg...
Once the rain stops...
Rain is getting annoying. Every time I step out it starts raining. Still putting in effort to marinate but ends up in the oven as hungry family can't wait and eat at 11pm when rain stops.
I think next year I may be able to wangle a komodo joe.. assuming I finish off the small patio area.
This year’s BBQ summer party went very well, even with wind whipping to the heat on my open grill (jamie old grill i’ve had since 2010 odd that lives outside in the rain)
Has any one found a good sealer product for foot fat/oil staining n sandstone? i may have change grill as the only way to control for the jamie is to plan burn rate and move the grills ofer edge, leaving the fat to drop onto the floor/sandstone.. a kampdo joe would help that

@michty_me as requested
7ft wide and tall, 408kg.
9.5mm (3/8ths) inch thick all over, including stack, doors etc.
1.5m² / 2316 Sq inches of cooking space.
Cannot open the main chamber with one hard, requires both and a fair effort. Wife can't open it at all.
I might have gone a little overboard... Runs real well though, it eats wood but the mass means the temperatures are relatively stable.
Purchased some flue to extend stack through the gazebo roof.
