Gas bbq
« on: 23 August 2018, 15:45:50 »
My old gas bbq was knackered , leaving it out over winter didn't help  ::)

So ive just been and bought one of these.....

https://www.therange.co.uk/leisure/camping/cooking-and-picnicware/bbq-chef-bunbury-easy-fold-gas-grill#615515

Seems ideal, portable, so ok for taking camping etc.  :y

Its running off a 13Kg gas bottle at the moment, which the old bbq was connected to. But when that runs out i'll get a smaller portable gas bottle for it  :)

So if anyone is looking at gas BBQ's , it would be considering one of these  :y

A gas BBQ with bits on the side that look like wings. ::) ::) ::)

Hmm, I wonder how far TB could make that one fly? :-X :-[ ;D

My gas BBQ only went about 4' during that incident. Mostly because some bricks hit it.

The lovely MrsT bought me this few years ago, I do like convenience of gas. Especially with young family, spark up and go! But will admit charcoal tastes better, but loads more mess.

I've a gas BBQ in the bottom workshop ,used it twice in 10 years of owning it.
it just does not taste the same as a real BBQ
I think you need the lead paint and creosote from the scrap wood to give it a proper authentic taste , plus it's harder to burn food properly with gas .
you may as well burn the food under the kitchen grill (which is Mrs Builder's domain)

Yep. No point in an "outdoor gas cooker". Food tastes no different than from the indoor one. ::)

More often though, it’s the outdoor cooking experience.  Being outside, family, friends all outside beers flowing etc. Rather than food itself.
