    While I’m sure there are some good ones, the few cheaper ones I’ve had never really get hot enough which is not something I’ve found with either the Weber or Ziggy. Overpriced - yes, over rated - not so sure on that, they are certainly a step up from any cheap one I’ve seen or used and are built much better IMO.

    Gas is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to an open fire and as I usually only venture out bush during the summer months So it is a lot safer option as well
    I started off with a brick BBQ, wood fired, then gas fired round one, ended up with two WEBERS. A family Q and a Genesis 11LX E440. The Genesis is the best BBQ we have ever had. Yes, it takes some learning how to use it, but once you do, you never go back. People rave about the Breakfast Creek hotel steaks, the Genesis cooks steaks better than that. Roasts, the best pork crackling, even I can do it. It's a new World, Fish, prawns, pizza, anything you want. With the other barbies you might as well be using a 44 gallon drum wood fired [ done that too]. The Family Q ? Pizzas anyone? roasts, ribs, as a matter of fact, might have one now.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    You actually don't need to spend heaps of quid's on a fancy pizza stone, Simply use a ceramic floor tile to fit whatever hooded oven you are using instead to make square pizzas which are easier to cut up anyway

    Well, I guess if a weber is overpriced... What does that make my BGE? Talking about overpriced... I got mine for free as a christmas bonus from an employer 10 years ago and just unpacked it this year (never saw the use for it) but I must say, they work like a charm. To bad there is no way you can lug them along!

    Regarding the weber vs... I never cared much for weber style bbq's and gas, that's not a bbq imho (I get fireban though). That's more like grilling. I do like the weberq on paper but never used one.

    Cheers,
    -P

    I'm guessing Big Green Egg.

    And yes, I've been eyeing one off for years but I don't really have the patience for charcoal.

    I've got a Genesis too, present from my wife. Works brilliantly, turns out beautiful steaks and given how hot it gets it doesn't use a lot of gas, and it's easy to clean.

    But .... I worked out that it was almost cheaper to ship one from the US and have it converted so it had the right gas-fittings than buying locally. It's the Weber version of the Australia Tax.

    Hmmm OK - was none the wiser until I just googled it.

    I agree - charcoal is a real pain for a BBQ.

    Thanks

    Charcoal does a nicer BBQ flavour than gas, but the convenience of gas makes it a very good choice.
