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?

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 !

Totally agree! I was a dedicated charcoal BBQ user...until I got the Masterchef gas BBQ and the charcoal BBQ has gone to the dumpit site. So much more convenient and, as previously stated, the authentic BBQ taste mainly comes from ignited fat that drips down to the burner.
Howver, I do aspire to getting summat like this should my numbers come up.:confused:
Cook, cook, cook, cookability, that's the beauty of GAS!!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

I spent a year in Oz & they all have gas. Just not the same. Did anyone see Gino D'acampo in Tuscany? Bistecca Alla Fiorentina over charcoal, mmmm the best way to cook meat! <3

Getting good flavour can be achieved in many ways on gas, wood chips, beer, lots of means.

meh gas v charcoal
I use my Weber Q 3-4 times a week in all weather.
A gas bottle cost me £22
I use charcoal for a home built smoker (UDS) - which will also BBQ
I also use electric for a Bradley Smoker
So all bases covered in this argument 'o)
Gas for price & convenience is perfect.

Fire and gas. Just asking for trouble that.

Be posh like me and have both ... I haven't used my gas one yet and I am deliberating how to go about things. I also bought lava rocks in case I decide to MacGyver something up using the gas BBQ or portable gas burner.
I won't know until next summer, I move to a new place at the start of October.

Plus there is a lot more to cooking than just charcoal; sauces, marinades, rubs, smoking chips. Plus being able to quickly adjust temperatures makes a huge difference.

BBQ'ing is indirect low and slow cooking
Grillling is direct fast cooking.
So all arguments aside about how good grilling on gas vs charcoal is, then the fact remains this is indeed "just" a grill.
Good deal if you can find one, heat added.

I've got one of these and have had some great BBQ's this summer. Very easy to construct although takes a bit of time. As long as you experiment and play around with the temp settings you get excellent results. Don't believe all the snobbery of those who spend 4 hours trying to get the coals hot enough and then just nuke everything - the taste depends upon on what you are cooking and comes from the direct heat, not from some farcical myth that coals have some magical flavour that only a select few will ever achieve....Or just get some smoke chips or beer cans if you are really that bothered.

Be honest, charcoal or gas.....barbecue has one standard.....the food is a choice of either pretty much still raw or burnt to a crisp

I'd say the posers are the charcoal people, gas is so much easier to use. That said my most successful BBQ ever was a charcoal tripod one.
