Clean it regularly.
Rightyo
This should be a great thing.
Itâs almost new BBQ time. Can any blitzers recommend what they think is the ducks nuts?
I want I think a 3 burner. Big enough to cook for 2 most nights then a small gathering/party some other times.
Any recommendations on a make and model? (Are the ones at Bunnings rubbish?).
I donât live super close to the sea but it will get a bit of weather. So something that doesnât rust out fast would be good.
gas sucks but if i had to webber q.
This x 100
Theyâre the apple of bbqs. Overpriced, proprietary accessories, fan bois love them.
Theyâre easy to clean, super efficient, and wonât rust.
If you have ever seen hard rubbish collection, hooded burners are everywhere. Youâll never see a Weber Q
Edit: they sell slightly different models at the big box store Vs specialty bbq stores. For a couple of dollars more at the specialty shop youâll likely get a bigger hood and thermostat.
I have one. They are great.
Parents have an original weber charcoal. Only thing they had to replace over the years is the wooden handles. You can still get parts for it too.
Theyâre collectors items, of sorts, now (the older ones)
Itâs so much fun bbqing
Rightyo. Hereâs me thinking the world of bbq would be complicated.
Iâll Google up the nearest store that sells them.
I have an old Q weber and sheâs had a pretty good life. Thought things might have moved on.
i dont generally advocate specialty equipment (except for espresso) but the webber rotisserie attachment is100% needed, all other rotisseries suck after using it.
The profitec dual boiler is going fantastically well btw. Paired with a quality Italian grinder
Nah mate.
You need the $85 charcoal Jumbuck from Bunnings.
I donât really use Facebook, but that particular product has its own fan page/thread.
Just buy a smoker and be done with it.
That is, until you upgrade your smoker.
Currently in the process of upgrading, but never really end up getting rid of the old onesâŚwife absolutely loves it!
Do you (or anyone) have the electric or natural gas models? If so, what do you think about these? I am looking to get something for an upstairs patio and donât want to be lugging gas bottles around.
Wouldnât buy an electric bbq. I have gas with the cylinders. Itâs really efficient, so one bottle per annum is roughly what it takes.
I think you can get it hooked up to mains gas, but youâd have to buy the right one.
Thatâs good glad you can get replacements, mine needs new wooden handles. It has been out in the weather for 35 years and apart from the handles that disintegrated and a chip in the paint work when my blue heeler pushed it over and then partially ate one of the wheels it is still in great condition.
Yes, that is kinda obvious⌠;- )
They do make a natural gas one, that is why I askedâŚ
We have one and it is great.
Except we now have got rid of gas for hot water, heating and cooking. So for the BBQ have to pay the monthly fees to just have the gas connected, and we use fark all actual gas.
Yeah I donât like gas inside(use induction). But for outside a flame is essential. Even if electrics are good Iâd never go near one as I mean whatâs the point?
After the almost unanimous response Iâm gonna get a weber gas bbq for most times(quick meals) and probably a small smoker for charcoal and wood chips for flavour country when out there all day with mates.
The later itâs dealing with the fuel mess which is a bit of a pain.
You guys get ads, huhâŚ
