Best BBQ to buy - Weber or Outback?

[Weltchy]

Shortly buying a bbq, and have narrowed down the selection to either the Weber Q300 or an outback 2 burner elite titanium. Both cost about the same and have roughly the same features. Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with either of these or can add others to the mix!!!

No, but I'll be happy to put in an opinionated contribution: if it's not charcoal, it's not a barbecue, it's just an outdor grill.

I have the Outback Elite Graphite 3 Burner Flatbed Barbecue and its awesome. I was very much against gas bbq's but since I have had this one with the lava coal I would never go back to the old. A big thumbs up for the Outback from me.

what is wrong with half an oil drum and a bag of charcoal? For a more sophisticated, and smaller, version try cutting down a beer barrel. You can either cut it a la oil drum, or just take the bottom off to have a nice deep dished fire bowl.

but, but, but, beer barrels are made from aly and will surely melt, oil drums are made from steel

are you suggesting the beer barrel solution from experience or from a not thought through idea ?

still, give the beer barrel a try and let us know what happens

Have been using the base of one as a fire bowl for at least 15 years (same one). Works a treat. 4 pieces of l shaped steel to rest a grill on and the grill. light weight and simple.
