Fwiw here are my details / use case:
- like cooking / eating / BBQing
- not that into the BBQ scene
- a bit time poor
- tend to cook for bigger groups of people, but once upon a time just cooked for 2
IME a gas one is a great shout. They're in a range of budgets, normally a good size, heat quick so as a couple as the weather improves you can just wack it on. But I do love charcoal.
Going to be brave and controversial, but I'm not really convinced by these Kamado egg things unless you're doing slow cooks. They're fucking tiny and take a million years to feed people if you're doing a traditional bbq. IME it's a supplementary cooking device like a SV wand, not a primary.

Which kamados have you seen? Mines 24 inch and has a double tiered grill, the cooking area is massive, I've cooked for 20 people on it no issue.
I agree that you shouldn't get it just for grilling though, there are better ways to spend the cash.

So in the market for a new BBQ, I'm open to suggestions... Should I whip myself for not getting the Aldi kamado? Is a Kamado just for low and slow cooking? Usually cooking for 2 but occasionally up to 8 people. What would you go for? Can be gas or charcoal. Garden space is limited so hoping for something that can do a lot of styles of cooking.
