    HWMBO bought a Kamado Joe a few years ago. Took a while to get used to it but it has options for rotisserie, pizza stones, etc. He seems happy with it.

    I’m looking to sort out an outside kitchen. Nothing too impressive, just a decent gas bbq to go with my weber and pizza oven. Any recommendations?
    I use a local variant of one of these for slow cooking brisket etc then just use the built in brick affair that everyone has in their gardens for doing steaks, chicken, corn etc.

    I'm yet to come across a gas bbq - it's charcoal all the way here.

    Welcome back.
    Thank you Nat. Im older and definitely non the wiser. Good to be back and I can even recognise one or two names.

    Im in the highlands now, currently watching the rain over the Kyle of Sutherland, getting a bit dark now though.

    Hard work and not great money but good fun & loads of free booze always comes my way :-).

    From what I can see, in the dot net area, contracting ain't gonna end in my life time
