Spotted this on my way through B&Q today (Harlow store). Was a stack of these gas barbecues all down to £30. Can only assume because it's end of the season. Can't find on the website so likely in store only clearing old stock.
Never seen a gas one this cheap, I prefer the old school way however so have never looked too hard.
Good luck hunting :-)

It's not a bbq if it's gas! It's just a grill!! Might as well stay indoors and use your cooker!

Well, I know where you're coming from, but that's not strictly true. The fat still drips down onto the burner covers and the burning of that fat, gives the BBQ taste to the food. Not as well as the charcoal I agree, but still far superior to an oven.

looks like a customer has just crossed that sign out and put £30. i doubt they'd go that cheap but I suppose ringing that particular store and asking the price would confirm.

looks like it was only 99 to start with and currently 70 online with b n q , bargain but prefer the real mans way to bbq :wink:
Between now and the end of October is silly season for gas BBQ prices, I tend to buy stuff like this out of season (got the brilliantly stylish Masterchef 2 burner from Tesco last October for 60 quid reduced from 200!).

Gas is better IMO (I have a Weber master touch charcoal which never gets used since I bought my cheap Argos gas BBQ)
Deals on gas barbecues never fail to bring out the barbie snobs! Get over yourself.
I have a Weber Smoky Joe, and love a charcoal barbecue but each to their own, eh?

Have you actually used one or is this just something Bob down the boozer spouts out to everyone?!?

Stay indoors then, and try and cut down on your internet usage too

yes to a certain extent but if it uses gas and lava rock then it is getting close.
I use a gas outback bbq but replace once side of the lava rock with charcoal then use the gas to light the charcole, the coals are close to the grill but it cooks a great 1 inch thick sirloin steak in 100 or so secs per side :smiley:

A real bbq is a charcoal bbq. It has more flavour plus it takes dedication. As you say a gas bbq is no different than cooking the food under a hot grill in the kitchen. It is for posers !
