Oh dear. Into the Dragons' Den.
I started a barbie thread on JB, little knowing of this thread -- to which I was pointed.
Must say, I was going for gas. But (without checking 600 posts) I reckon that the simple fayre I want to cook, bangers (snags), burgers, small steaks etc would be better enhanced by the use of charcoal.
If I grill them using gas I may just as well do it 10 yards away on the oven, right?
I've seen a Weber (I'd never heard of them before I started my barbie thread) in the local Homebase, it looks nifty, has a detachable ash tray etc and seems just right.
Does this make me a knuckledragger??!!
