• After trying out a gas grill for the last year or so, I've been left considerably underwhelmed so want to switch back to charcoal.

    What one should I get? Budget around £200-300-ish. Have had the usual cheap shit ones before that rust before you look at them so happy to push a bit more of a boat out to get something more robust with replaceable parts etc. Primary use will be grilling, but it would be nice to have the option of other types of cooking (with ease, rather than hacking something cheap, or else I won't bother). Decent cover availability is a must too as it will live outside.

    Have already looked at Weber kettles, natch, and if nothing else I'm happy with their offerings, just wondering if there is something else that I may be overlooking.

  • In that price range, if you get lucky you might be able to get an Aldi Kamodo if you get lucky when the next batch of stock comes in.

  • Aldi egg sounds like a good option if you can find one.

    If not, hard to go wrong with the ubiquitous Weber kettle. I have had Webers for decades. They last well, they are simple to use and do 90% of what you want from a grill.

    The only real negative is lack of insulation means really long slow cooks are not as easy as with a ceramic egg or purpose built smoker with fan control.

  • I have a weber kettle, happy with it so far. I'm very much amateur hour but it seems to draw a nice line between slapping some stuff on the barbecue and going for longer cooks.

  • Worth a look at Napoleon kettles as well, they seem to be a similar quality and feature set to the Webers but with the bonus of a hinged lid
