we bought a large 4 burner stainless steel gas BBQ from B&Q about 6 years ago at the end of the summer, reduced from £400 to £200 in the sale. little gas burner on the side for beans or onions, I think it might have even come with a tool set. It's a great BBQ, although not been used much recently. I had to clean it the other day *blurgh* I'm seriously considering getting a handheld steam cleaner just for the BBQ, it's the only way to get the grease off. And best still, the BBQ has it's own hardstanding because it's so heavy and large, so Mr GRR has his own chef space when he's cooking :lol: I don't think we could go back to charcoal now.

Was thinking about a 'big green egg' but for now I could do with a decent gas BBQ.

who has what and what did it cost ?

Cheers folks

I got a big 15kg Calor gas BBQ second hand for 50 quid in mint condition. It would have cost 300 new. Maybe consider a second hand one?

that's one of the reasons I prefer my fire pit Liz, you can just burn the grease off, then when ashes are cold I put them in the hen coop for a dust bath....granted not everyone's got hens, but still far better than scrubbing grease off
