Ha, but I'd argue that I can still get in, get it on and cook when I'm in from work too. Nice couple of BBQs there! Really tempted to order a smoker. I might have to today. Hmmm

Replaced mine with the 57" deluxe model...

To be fair, he did say that smoke was better but he enjoyed the convenience
I can see the appeal of having a gas BBQ but I think I'd only do that once I had so many awesome smoker units that there's no way I could justify getting another
I have a gas BBQ as well as a kettle BBQ.
Like D.P., I find it convenient when I'm short of time or if I only want to cook 1 item. If I'm only doing a pork chop for my tea, I'm not going to go through the hassle of spending half an hour to light a BBQ to cook 1 chop for 5 minutes and then clean the damn thing for 20 minutes. I do prefer the taste from a charcoal BBQ but the gas is better than a frying pan so it's a compromise.

If its one item then I would just get the cast iron grilled pan out

My friends picked up the below BBQ from Grillstock. Played with it for the first time last night and it's an absolute dream to use

No need to convince anyone when you know they are the best.
I have one. It takes longer than 10 minutes (although I may have exaggerated about the half hour bit
).do what? clean a BBQ are you mad
I may have exaggerated here too
It does get a quick wipe and the ash emptied out.Regardless of my exaggerated estimates, it's still a lot more convenient to use gas for a single item than charcoal.
Just found out from a colleague at work that another person that works here (he is off today) is REALLY into his barbecue and I quote "Brock is really into is Barbecue, he has one that cost him like three to four grand."
(£3k barbecue ?!!?!)
Brock is Australian.
At which point I actually laughed ! (and then felt bad for sterotyping) but looking forward to asking him all about it when he comes in on Thursday.

I saw some of the ones they had at grillstock that were around a grand and they were pretty insane. The ones with a PID to control the BBQ temperature were particularly impressive
Then of course there were the ones that are basically giant trailers. Big enough to fit several 57cm webber BBQs inside for that BBQ-in-BBQ goodness.

I'd still have my big ass proper BBQs, but this thing is a dream. You can get other "makes" like this, but regardless. Love them. Stable temps for hours!
Oh, and I'm buying a BBQ today, I've found it, but missed the last one (eBay) I'll not miss the next, mind.

Those BBQ do look awesome. Rather expensive though
I've been looking at PID modding BBQs a little recently. Could be a fun little project.
It's more convenient to defecate myself in my office chair but I have some self respect
