Ho ho. I can see this wasting time and fuel, much as I'd like to get one.

I paid £300 for this last year thinking I'd got a good deal, so this is a bargain ! Have some heat :smile:

Can get some decent bargains at Homebase, it's just what stock your local store has left.
I picked up a Weber Premium cheap :smile:

Another Wild Goose Chase?
Check your local store before venturing out?
Not likely to be many about especially at this price?

I suggest you do that, as homebase/Bunnings do not seem to have clue about stock. Speak to someone on the phone, wait,............then get cut off,or don't get a comprehensive answer. But, if someone finds one in s.e. London, please let me know.
Comprehensible!!

This is an amazing BBQ - I have had it for a couple of years and have cooked everything from the standard burgers and sausages to roasts and even fried eggs - use it all year round and temperature control is amazing as you can turn burners down, close lid and cook slowly if you want to. This price is incredible...if you can find it...

bsadak - have you collected yet and can you verify how many are now left in Walthamstow?
I'm nearly an hour from there and can't get the store to pick up the phone to check on stock levels. It's a loooong way to go to find them all gone!

Hi, I've collected mine. I've posted a pic of my receipt above. When I called, I had no issue getting through. They told me they had a total of 10 in stock (including the one I purchased).

Do you have a product code??? I got asked for one when calling up! Would be really helpful thanks :blush:

I can't find them anywhere!! I've tried: Reading, Bracknell, Maidenhead, Farnham, Newbury, Southampton HE, Bristol. :rage: guess I'm too late!! Oh and Edit: I forgot Basingstoke in that list too....

Picked one up earlier from Bath store and they had a few left. Marked up at £299 but went through the till at £124.??
Homebase stock codes for their computers are 314408 and 314409 remember its 2 boxes and they're pretty big
bakerman to MarkT1967
31 Aug 17#28
Thanks for the heads up about Bath - got one!! Was just about to post product codes but you beat me to it! 306765 is the top level prod code but I've been told that people won't find it using that so use the *408, *409 ones as Mark says :sunglasses:
Firefly1 to bakerman
31 Aug 17#30
They managed to find it on their system for me, but confirmed it was £299. Couldn't scan as the box was not nearby :disappointed: Do you mean they can only find the BBQ if they use the *408 and *409 - OR do you mean only the discounted price will appear with *408 and *409 ? It makes a big difference to me, as they had stock, were just adamant it was not reduced.
MarkT1967 to Firefly1
31 Aug 17#32
Each box goes through the scanner, 1 is £64.?? The other is £59.?? Bath had theirs marked up at £299 on the yellow label but went through the till at the right price and even when I called them that's the prices they gave me. You need to tell them there are 2 boxes.

If I'm going to be phoning today to check stock what codes do I need to give mark? & If they are in stock do i check prices first ? ThBks
bakerman to nick_griff187

You need to give them codes 314408 and 314409 for the specific 2 parts you need to buy - they'll show as £299 but when scanned they drop down to the £124 price. If they search the header code it won't bring up any stock it'll just show 0. From the various conversations I had with many, many branches (!) they explained sometimes they have 1 part and not the other due to returns/missing parts. They did confirm (though not sure if this guy was just particularly helpful or whether nationally) that if stock of 1 part is at a nearby store and 1 part at the store you're in they can get it transferred across. No idea how long it takes though. Also make sure you ask them to check the warehouse as this is last season's range so they might not be out on the floor. Good luck!

Thank you mate. With numerous phone calls & nearly giving up found one finally. The guy laughed on phone first saying it was £449 & no way down to £120. I had to beg him to scan them while I was on phone. He came back with a yes & reserved it :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

As per Bakerman mate, quote the codes listed for the 2 boxes, otherwise they will not know what is in stock

Sorry but outback are crap.....the burners rot after a year or so due to the heat....the quality is just to low.....I've go through three till.i realised this. Good deal though maybe
MarkT1967 to Gavin01
31 Aug 17#33
I've built mine and the quality looks good. Decent thickness steel and the finish is good. No reason to see why it won't last a couple of years, my old one from Homebase has been left out for 4 years with no cover and it's only because I managed to grab this one that I've replaced it
bakerman
31 Aug 17#34
There aren't many in stock but I wonder if this cover works too? Says it's for the meteor - £9.93...not sure if the quality is the same?
I tried getting one when I brought my bbq but despite showing 11 in stock they couldn't find any anywhere. If anyone dors does find some actually in stock, please let me know

Hi can someone explain what you mean by two codes & two boxes? I rang today but they wanted codes. Do I need to give either code or both?

Checked Branksome and Christchurch who both show stock, but nothing there. Best to phone up before and ask them to check and reserve it!

I don't know if any help but when I was phoning around Gloucester store popped up few times saying they had stock of a couple but was too far for me

Don't suppose anyone can tell me what comes in the second smaller box? Been told that it's the base and castors? Any help would be appreciated
MarkT1967 to beatchuk

Quite a bit comes in the "smaller" which is a fairly large box and heavy. The frame which holds the oven is in there along with other bits. I didn't have a manual in mine but it's available online at outback.com

Picked mine up, charged me 64.93 for both boxes. Also got cover for 9.93 :grin: Big boxes mind, don't go to pick up in mini! Many thanks to poster, best spot for a while.

:thumbsup: Got a bargain on mine. And 10% off as was a display model. Good fun getting a fully built one into the car! :joy:
No covers so ordered a £25 one listed on here.
Great spot OP

Picked up the display model from belfast today for the grand sum of £99, has a few marks etc but I can live with them for the price.
If anyone has there's built would they mind taking a photo of the back of the bbq and posting it up as I want to check its been built right.

Managed to source on from Tunbridge Wells store, after I put them in touch with their Hove store who had the other box that made the complete BBQ. They even got a driver to go and collect the other box and set the BBQ aside for me to collect today. Even took some money off to pay towards my petrol as it was a little bit of a trek, but well worth it for the price!
