  • BBQ advice

    I’m thinking about getting a gas BBQ. They now seem to be pretty cheap, however, from reading a lot of the cheap ones sound shit and a false economy.

    Is it better to buy a 2nd hand decent one?

    My concern is a lot of the parts seem to rust/break so even a good, moderately well maintained 2nd hand one might still fall apart in a year or two.

    Any tips or advice. I’ve done a bit of reading up online but haven’t actually found anything that helpful.

    Cheers.

  • dont bother with a gas bbq, your oven and grill can do the same things

    Grilling is direct heat
    BBQ is about indirect heat
    Smoking is a low temperature indirect heat, using smoke to flavour and cook

    Get a Green Mountain Grill wood pellet smoker which you can use for smoking, BBQ and grilling.

  • Pffft what would you know?

    Kidding. Do what ^ he says.

    That's interesting, because my understanding was that you had direct and indirect BBQing based on the type of food being cooked.

    From reading though Which? they seemed to think that gas BBQs with the flavouriser bars / lava rocks burnt the fat indirectly and gave the same smoke effect that you get from a traditional BBQ.

    Ill look into the Green Mountain Grill, but my initial thoughts are that I'm not really sure I want to spend $750-1,000 on an outdoor cooking device.
