Best gas BBQ?

[johnboy9876]

It depends on where in the country you are, as you could visit a couple of shops and get some good ideas.

I live near The BBQ Shop in Woking, Surrey and they're pretty good (they have Napolean & Beefeater). Also Socal in Southampton have a big range too

Going from my own experience I have a Broil King Baron and it's been very good over the last 6 years. It has a side burner and a rotiserie can be used also

I've now got a semi-enclosed space and am considering a pellet grill next time maybe a Traeger? Also maybe a Blackstone??

Had a Weber gas for 10 years before moving to charcoal. Think it was about £1000 when I bought it and I got £700 for it on FB marketplace when I sold it

Residuals like Rolex :-)

I went for a Broil King after comparing with Webber. More for the money and seems to be as well constructed. Came with the rotisserie as a freebie though I haven't used it yet. Only complaints I have are, the handle gets seriously hot when pre-heating or cooking with the lid down, and after 4 years there's a bit of breakdown on the hood seal at the front, (could just be down to it being stored outside in all weather).

Handle being hot is a bit of a poor design, especially as you want the lid down when cooking.

If you have a cover and it’s breaking down like that, get in touch with customer services and sure they will put it right.

I use my rotisserie on the egg every few weeks, never really did on the gas one over the 10yrs I had it. It’s now on its way to the person I gave my old Weber spirit to, so can get an other lease of life.

Regarding the rotisserie, give a kellybab a try, effortless food and easy to feed a load of people cheaply with a bit of flair as you carve from the spit, then back on the bbq. Also great for longer entertaining as can keep coming back to it.

And if you are near Herts, you could check out Riverside, which has a great selection to look at. You can even do one of their courses and try out a decent selection

Charbroil for me.

Make sure you see one in person and get one with cast iron grilles.

I went for this, although they're available much cheaper at other websites

I have both stainless and cast. Cast live indoors and get used when needed. Stainless stays outside with the bbq & so easy for being lazy with.

One of the new ones I’m looking at has stainless steel grates; I’m a bit concerned about cooking on them especially food getting stuck on them. Do you find them ok?

My beefeater has cast iron grills which, now I know how to care for them, I like using.

This is what I’m looking at:

Food releases once it’s ready, if it sticks give it time.

Cast has greater heat retention but unless you’re cooking a steak I’ve not noticed a big difference.

When I use my cast iron I place it over the current grill and just let it heat up for what I’m cooking.
