Last update 18th June 2018 - Removed Discontinued items / Price increses

Right then... The weather went above 8c, so it's time to update
Some offers are rolling in now and I expect them to get better and better, so will add them as they come in. I've popped a few in for now and will check back from time to time to keep all the best ones here.


Okay, so BBQ season is pretty much here, so I thought I'd pop something together to keep them all in once place. I've linked to any existing threads too. Also you can't beat a good fire pit, so I'll try and add a few of those in here too.

It's ongoing and will be updated whenever I get a chance.
Feel free to share any BBQ tips down below, I know there are some real keen BBQ Chefs that would be able to teach us all a thing or two.

To make things easier all newly added items will be added to the top of each category, to save you hunting through when re-visiting the thread as well as items going up in price being removed and OOS marked as such until stock comes back

    Thanks Neo.. I hope my BBQ season changes this year

    Pro tip: Ban burgers and sausages from your BBQ. They benefit least from the exciting cooking method and flavours it adds. Chicken, fish, pork, beef, low and slow where possible. Let the BBQ infuse your meat, rather than blast it with heat.
    ​Search for restaurant lumpwood charcoal on Google or eBay. I have got some of the big k stuff and it is excellent. A really good price for charcoal of this quality is just over a pound a kilo, although hard to find (Ocado did a deal on the 15kg big k boxes, not bags or the smaller box, they're lower quality, of the 'best' grade restaurant charcoal, 3 for 2 last year, maybe they'll repeat this year), but I can see there are other brands that get close on eBay (long burn, 20kg for £25), although never tried them so can't comment. The good stuff you'll use less of it, so the higher price might not actually be that much higher in use, I've never had to top up a BBQ since switching to the big k stuff, it just keeps going!
    It's all about having two bbqs. Proper charcoal BBQ for proper BBQ situations and a gas BBQ for emergency BBQ situations!

    I've used gas BBQs for the last 12yrs, had to chuck the old one away last summer so on the lookout for a new one...or debating going back to charcoal. I know it's a better way of cooking but gas is so much quicker and easier for a cheeky last minute BBQ.
    Hmm fire pit or chiminera?

    At these prices, why not have both. Charcoal for pre-planned Saturday afternoons, and gas for convenience should you want an impromptu supper.

    I threw away my chimnea and opted for a fire pit which is much better, more heat, cooking surface and doubles up as a table !
    I cant find my exact one but its like this garden4less.co.uk/pro…wcB
    We cook fresh mackerel on it in the afternoon and then chuck a log on afterwards to use it as a fire pit.
    you can add the Tesco one. Same price as Argos, but with cover

    Every time I have a BBQ party, there's always at least one person that brings cheap nasty burgers & sausages that ruin the barby!
    Can't find any Weber deals at the moment.

    For those of you who are looking for a more Eco, or wallet friendly fire pit an old washing machine drum makes possibly the best fire pit out there. Its debatable.
    Most tips and recycling centers have them lying around.
    I was skeptical when it was first mentioned to me. But they actually are awesome.

    ​interesting..... any pics?
    List is fine, but cheapo barbecues are really a waste of money. The UK is increasing getting into smoking now, this is the only real 'barbecue'. It was an African method of cooking in a pit, popularised by African slaves in USA. Such cooking depends on maintaining a low and slow temp of around 225 faranheit. These cheapo smokers simply cannot do it. My advise if you want to get into true barbecue is to buy a Weber Smokey Mountain or at least a Pro Q. Higher end go for a komado like a Big Green Egg. What many people call 'barbecue', i.e cooking sausages and burgers over coals or gas is not really barbecuing, it is grilling. I'd go with coals every time for grilling, and I'd just splash out on a Weber Kettle, it will easily last 10 years, is extremely good and you can even do some basic smoking on it. Nice day today, I'm getting 6 racks of baby backs and a chicken on the Weber Smokey Mountain at 1pm for a 5 hour low and slow cook...

    Drop the gas, all you are doing is grilling. Bad cleanup time also. If you want true BBQ get into smoking. If you want grilling, get a Weber Kettle, I doubt you will want to gas grill again.
    I was thinking of a brazier like the one pictured, but I'm not sure if the ash etc from logs would just end up falling out of the side and making a mess?

    +1 What he said!

    See above for Charcoal deals. Restaurant grade charcoal is as good as briquettes and doesnt have the binding agents. Bookers / Makro sell the blue bags for £9.99 ex vat.. If you cant do that checkout BigK. Most garden centres that sell BBQ's will probably have the 10-12kg bags from them

    The Smoker above for £28.99 is truly a piece of junk. You need serious mod's to get it operational and as an intro most punters will find it unworkeable. If you are intent, check out the Mods

    I would go for a basic Weber Kettle. It is 150, but will be good for all grilling and do a semi decent job for simple smoking jobs. riversidegardencentre.co.uk/web…tml

    I just got the Weber Mastertouch on Friday (from Riverside - free next day delivery!) and am currently smoking a large rack of beef short ribs. They are gonna be going for 6 hours, using the "weber snake method". They have also been covered in a nice rub that I got from Riverside by a company called MeatChurch.

    I went a bit overboard and got £40+ of rubs and sauces, but a basic weber and rub will set you back £160ish and do a decent job.

    (p.s. a meat thermometer that measures both grill and meat is needed if you want to accurately slow smoke, there are some decent ones on amazon for £25ish)
    Edited by: "mattoc4" 9th Apr 2017
    Can anyone recommend a BBQ that has a thick cast iron grilling rack and not the cheap stainless steel cooling tray racks?

    thanks, the weber original kettle Premium is what I have already ! Its usually used for chicken, lamb chops etc and I've never tried to slow cook something on it. Defiantly something i'm going to try this summer.

    Was looking at getting a fire pit and this thread has spurned my interest more. Was looking at this one - an 80cm pit @ under £50. Anyone had something similar?

    That looks like it will end well.

    Cool, so I would just spend your money on a decent BBQ thermometer, one that does both the grill and the meat.
    I use this: amazon.co.uk/The…ter

    And read up on the snake method. The Weber is a great place to start learning to smoke, whilst still having access to a grill for all other bbq needs.

    Never had a BBQ but sort of pondered with idea for a few years, Like the look of them gas ones but with Lava rocks for added flavour etc, Anyone used one? Any good?
    Seen the Outback models with Lava and the Weber with flavour bars???

    Its a tough call in that price bracket. Most of the quality smokers that will get you good results are priced @£200+ The only option you have in or about that area is either a second hand smoker OR to repurpose a Weber One Touch for smoking, which is possible for shorter smokes (ribs / chicken / lamb) of 5 hours or less. For longer cooks you will need either a vertical smoker (eg ProQ / Weber Smokey Mountain) or an offset. You can get some decent offsets for this price, but the fire basket is small so you will need to refuel every few hours which is fun but a tough ask. If you want some recommendations in that space I am happy to provide
