New barbecue
Does anybody know a decent shop where to buy a decent gas barbeque without being ripped off in Dubai?
I am not very experienced in barbeque. I checked ACE, some of them look not bad but i dont like to spend 6 or 7000 aed in a barbeque...... All suggestions are welcomed. Thanks Flare |
Why don't you try getting one from Dubizzle?
Even if it is second hand, you could find a very nice one, people leave Dubai every day and a lot will sell this kind of stuff cheap. Good luck |
Get a Cadac Brai from Carrefour
|
Ask the next South African or Zimbo that you fly with, they are the BBQ (Brai) experts! :ok:
|
:ugh::ugh::ugh:

A secondhand bbq??? May as well ask if they've got some secondhand steak knives and plates while you're at it.
.........a decent gas barbeque without being ripped off in Dubai? ................... but i dont like to spend 6 or 7000 aed in a barbeque Get a jingly cooker or pay some decent money. Try beefeaterbbq.com South African or Zimbo that you fly with, they are the BBQ (Brai) experts |
beefeaters are usually available at carrefour for less than Ace.

If your budget is 6-7k then a Weber Genesis is the best barbie for the money.
It has guarantees lasting up to 25 years, which says something about the product. Food cooked on a Weber gas q is fantastic |
I think he said he does NOT want to spend 6-7000dhs. Unless there are some summer offers coming up, I'd save the outlay until October as you will not want to be standing outdoors cooking from now until then!

New barbecue
I got a pretty good gas BBQ at home life in Mirdif for 1800.00 about a year ago. Still work well. 3 burner plus a side burner. Home life is at most Dubai malls.
|
Bid for a US trip. Much cheaper in Target.
|
Oh ok, missed that.
In any case i reckon buy once buy right, the weber will last you a long time and you really can " taste the difference ". Come on use some of that profit cher, and in the case of a bbq the whole family wins ! :ok: |
I dont think Cher reads these posts or gets an EK profit share.

@Scandistralian,
Yeah - Us Zimbo's and Saffa's are the best at braai's for sure....:ok: The best braai I ever had was a 44 gallon drum cut in half, welded onto an angle iron frame. Started the fire with balls of newspaper and broken up twigs, Then good old fire wood from the bush placed on top and allowed to burn down to good cooking charcoals.... Ahhh... the old days of cooking on a proper braai.... and it cost bugger all to make by yourself....Jassis Man..!!:} |
|
A BBQ is braai you £&@! up. :E
|
Thanks everybody for the answers.......
:ok::} |
Boeing makes better bbqs than Airbus :ok:
|
Guys....... I finally purchased my bbq.......... :ugh:
|
Thank god the BBQ is bought!
I'm too a charcoal guy but finding good quality charcoal is a problem in Dubai. Anybody knows where to get good long lasting charcoal? Not any of that briquette stuff... |
Carrefour MOE has some, so does every Union Co-op store.
Look around, you will find what you need. |
Never tried Union-Coop. Good idea. Worth a try.
Thanks. |
Some fun.....
I wanted to start this thread just because i needed some suggestions in finding a bbq.
At the end it became a thread to have some laughs...... Well done guys!!!!!!! A great writer once said "never let die the child who lives inside you", (please be patient with my english :})........well those living inside us are more then alive :D:D |
I forgot to say that Mullah child is more alive then others......... I guess.......
:) |

Sorry to interrupt the AvB battle brewing but back to the topic:
Anyone know if you can buy a big green egg, or a Kamado joe, in Dubai? Thanks. |
Ace did have stock of the Kamado Joe a couple of months ago - but I'm pretty sure they're all gone now. Inshallah they'll get some more.
Now on that topic - Anyone know where to buy some good smoking wood chunks? Not the rubbish Weber chips that Ace sell. |
@JAArule
Lighting the fire was a delicate process for sure..!! If we didn't have two sticks to rub together, we would scratch around the house looking for an old box of Lion Matches, hoping at least one was left in the box. Then it was a case of lighting the rolled up newspaper in three or four carefully chosen spots so that the fire would start evenly throughout the drum. Lightning..?? Ja man... depends on whether we had a man of color standing next to the unlit braai when the rains were coming... :}:} |
@thrustidle74
If you are looking for proper charcoal in DXB you will struggle. However, if you are bothered to drive just past the 7's rugby grounds, you will come to an Eppco garage next to Exit 37 (goes to the Camel Souk and Al Lisaili model aircraft flying field). At that Eppco you will see they sell bags of Namibian firewood..!! Decent sized bags for AED 27.00 per bag... Well worth the drive in my opinion - if you want to create the perfect bed of charcoal to cook on... :ok: |
Many thanks DD,
That's what I'm looking for. It's worth the drive. I heard the Namibian stuff is pretty much same as what we have back home. |
Very good, but what and where was the barbeque that was finally purchased?
We're there any great deals or incites here to be shared? |
