Best gas BBQ

[Mad Cyril]

I need a new gas BBQ. Has anyone got any recommendations or seen any good deals recently?

My current BBQ is the Outback Spectrum 3 which is a piece of **** and has rusted/fallen apart like a Chinese motorbike despite being kept under a cover.

I am disappointed also to find the Wagner Char King touted in King Of The Hill is fictional.

I got a Leisuregrow 600 last year, not a spot of rust on it (stood outside all winter) and much better than the Weber I had.
Think we paid about 5-600 for it.

I quite like the look of the Webers. Expensive but aluminium construction equals no rust.....

I saw a decent one in Aldi's or Lidl recently. May be worth you visiting them both.

A gas BBQ is not a real BBQ, food needs to taste of smoke and charcoal when cooked on a BBQ!

Let the men discuss the real outdoors cooking please Kay. We're like REALLY good at this. The outside of the food is generally sufficiently cooked and food poisoning is probably less than 20% these days. Tell you what, you can be in charge of salad and that potato-stuff if you like?

If we are to discuss the virtues of chargrilled food, we need our resident expert Tinks's input. She chargrills everything, cooking using the indoor or outdoor method

I agree gas BBQ's are cheating you might aswell cook it on a grill or a George Forman inside. Ok so they are ready quicker but where is the fun in that it's all about smashing tons of lighting fluid on the coal and losing your eyebrows when you over do it. By the time it's at tempareture your **** faced and you don't care if the food is black.

I'd rather buy a cheap charcoal barbecue than an expensive gas barbecue. The fun of lighting it and watching the coal burning, the beautiful smokey smell that alerts every neighbour in a two mile radius that you're having a BBQ and most importantly, the flamegrilled smokey taste it gives all your meat!

BBQ's? Ppppffft. Time to man up. Nothing cooks sangers like a lava/lightning combo. It's what Gary Deegan uses.

Indeed. Completely agree with you.

Surely the title of this thread should be Least Bad Gas BBQ!

Shouldn't this thread be renamed best outdoor grill? As others have pointed out barbecue is something you do with charcoal or cheat with briquettes
