This also takes 10 minutes and 5 sheets of news paper...

And a few hours to burn out and cool down so you can clean it. My one cools down in a few minutes, so I can check the forecast and prepare stuff in advance, then when the time comes I can fire it up, cook stuff, let it cool and put the cover back on in less than an hour. It's a lot more convenient and gets a lot more use, as in I had two BBQs last weekend, two the week before that and I'll have at least two or three more this weekend.

It's the sort of thing you excitedly show your friends and family, they look at it, look at you, look at it, ask how much it was, look at it, look at you, look at it, ask again how much it was, look at it, look at you, ask what does it do, look at it, look at you, ask how much it was again and then say "that's erm, cool, yeah".

My family and friends know me better than to ask how much stuff costs round me

The first two will last 10 years
The last two last 4-5 BBQ's / Braai's - in my house, 1-2 weeks at the most.

The EGG looks like a poncy toy (Giffen Good) and will go well with a Barbour Jacket, Hunter Wellies and some cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off

I have a hotspot grill (made from 5mm spun steel) its in its 5th or 6th year (cost me £150) It gets a light rust on it and all you do is give it a quick rub down and spray and its as good as new.

But I wanted a Pizza oven and a smoker so in the end my garden would have been a mess of kitchen toys instead of a place to sit in and look at flowers.

This poncy toy wont rust and does all three. So thats my next play money spent after my new car is ordered...

Seriously this place is supposed to be a place for contractors I have never seen so many tightwads.

Whateve floats yer boat.

though my weber was getting a tad knackered after 6 years.

And for a weber you're looking at at least a couple of hundred for a decent one

I bought a weber gas one, it's ready to go in 10 minutes so you only need small break in the clouds.

I get the disposable ones from the supermarket, because lets face it, it's very rarely dry or warm enough for cooking outside these days. Costs me about £10 a year.

I use a Cadac Carry Chef, which can then plug into the gas bottle in my camper van for while we're away.

How dare you mention gas bottles on a serious BBQ thread !

[Pogle]

Promise?

Next time I'm working in London..

You buy one of these and you can also use it indoors, a local chef has one in his kitchen.

I had a weber back in blighty and was even using it in winter, it was great for roast chicken.

So really looking forward to getting this, as I miss bbqing.
