Weber Deals & Offers

£530 showing now

Then like I said, a good deal if that's your choice of BBQ.

It's like a Mercedes of BBQ. Is like saying a 20 grand discount from a range rover is a terrible deal because you could get a Kia for half the price... The discount makes this a good deal for someone who wants a Weber spirit. I'm a coals man so bought one of the mastertouch BBQ for 169 and I know I could have bought 17 bucket BBQs for this price but I want a Weber mastertouch.

Quite a few Riverside Garden Centre 'deals' lately?

I thought it was a typo, but it actually does say Four Hundred and Seventy Seven Pounds.. AFTER discount! This is way overpriced kit, but I suppose technically this is a good price if this is the model you must have.

Now £404, I guess this should be expired.

Great bit of kit, but I would recommend the 47cm it’s not so massive, uses less fuel so more economic. Still holds a decent amount of meat

This is designed for smoking. As in stuff like pulled pork, etc. Basically if you don't know what this is for then it's not for you. This is for slow cooking meat for like 12-18 hours. This is basically for BBQ experts. Not for someone who cooks burgers and sausages, etc.

Ummm... I would have struck at the original price.

Thank you, that’s very helpful. Seems like a GBS is more versatile, considering I only have space for one device.

Oh dear. Whenever I see a better one Im getting more confused. I wish I can unsee these more expensive ones. :D

I wouldn't get downhearted on the votes, to those that know how to BBQ the Weber is the best out there. But people will vote it down because you can buy a 99p throwaway one from B&M or somewhere.

I didn't realise they had other performers - ours has the charcoal holder too, which is incredibly handy. Having just had a look, ours is the https://www.riversidegardencentre.co.uk/weber-performer-deluxe.html deluxe model - sorry didn't mean to send anyone up the garden path with the wrong info.

Thanks. Updated. Even better deal now (cheeky)

It is £140 now.

Was it the same price? I found one in our local but they wouldnt price match.

Saw one of these in B&Q Kilburn, heat from Me!

I managed to get the mastertouch from East Kilbride for £115 this morning (ex display). None left there now though or at The Forge, Glasgow.

Well there's no reason not to get another then (cheeky) . In fact if you reach 7 u can use one bbq per day!

gas barbie or to use its short name a cooker...

Probably should have but it will be fine. It will get a thorough work out this winter.

Did you not try to complain that the image shows a different cover? Very misleading

Picked up and it is indeed the cheap and nasty grey version. It will do for this winter but I would not recommend it.

boo - voted, ordered, read the comments. Can't take heat back though lucky poster! (embarrassed)

Yea sorry just realised it's grey in colour not black like in the pic

Yeah, the vent on my Summit is in the middle.

It depends on what type of grill you are using as many have the vent in different places, both my weber GBS and my bar b quick smoker have the vent offset on one side so the idea is you place the meat under the vent so that the smoke and heat is drawn over the meat & it also makes a handy place for the meat temperature probe. In the winter time i have a old electric oven in my garage that i use as a smoker, i light a small amount of charcoal in a bread tin and add some wet chunks of wood, set the temperature on the oven and leave it to get on with it and it works a treat.

Ah, I smoke mine right in the middle of the grate - hence my comment.

You don't smoke with the meat directly over the charcoal, thats not smoking, thats grilling. So the "joint" you speak of wont be blocking this hinged section at all

Still gonna be hard to open those flaps with a joint on top, not much room at all.

Oos ☹

I want one with the ash catcher. I'm sure with winter on the way there will be clearance deals soon

Compact 57cm. £105 feom longacres.co.uk. Not sure of it is a deal but its the cheapest I have seen.

Any good deals on a Weber 57cm?

It is mahoooosive... It is far too big for a family of 5... more like a family of 10 adults plus... my garden isn't too big either so it looked out of place... I also made the mistake of building it inside, then had trouble getting it out the back door!... HEHE... I was seriously getting anxiety, LOL, so took it back to John Lewis for a refund... plus side it is definitely a SOLID beast!

We do use the cover for short periods. For longer spells my butler brings it inside (annoyed)

Agreed. If you need one they'd supply it with the grill. The warranty is valid without a cover and in coastal areas the cover will encourage rusting.

Stopped using the covers on my Weber gas BBQs years ago. Just cause loads of mould. Leave them out in the fresh air to breath.

And you can put the saving towards a mattress and maybe a broken fridge to dump in the garden to finish off the look ;)

You can still have a nice expensive bbq (even a Weber one) without this massively overpriced cover. Various places do very good quality covers of this size for around the £20 mark. In reality, you’re playing £20 for the cover and £50 for that little badge which says Weber.

Although to be honest I used it again last night and while the tongs can do it, a proper lifter would be better as the grate is pretty heavy. Does anyone know how clean these things need to be? Despite soaking in soapy water I still can't get all the burnt bits off unless I use a metal brush and the instructions explicitly say not to.

I just use my tongs

Thanks (y)

Does anyone also have the Weber grate lifting tool for this - is it necessary or are there other recommended alternatives?

£50 min spend.

Excellent price for an excellent product. Use this all the time with my charcoal BBQ.

None at Nottingham Riverside, checked today

I bought one of these a few years back and to be honest doubted it would be any good....... I was genuinely surprised at just how easy it was to light briquettes and at this price it’s a must buy!!

Fantastic deal, have some heat.

need one of these hasnt been any in my local b&qs fod weeks

Amazingly, I managed to pick the last one of these up in Nottingham last night. The box was open but everything was there. Thanks OP!

There were 8 left yesterday, clearly been very popular

Sorry yes. They were at 44. Very few shops seem to have any at all. Wonder if the 22 deal is specific to just one or a few shops? Think they are already reduced at £44.

Blackburn told me they weren’t reduced!

Still loads left at this store

That was my exact thoughts the first time I did a beer can chicken on my Weber. Internal temps were ok, but so much juice I just didn’t believe it was cooked. Lovely to way to enjoy chicken though.

I had to look up vaporisation. Apparently it is the "Conversion of a liquid or solid into its vapour, such as water into steam."

Apparently its "vaporisation" rather than steam. Which doesn't actually help with the cooking process. Not sure I'm convinced.

Just looking at my picture, you can see the amount of can that has been exposed to about 400 degrees of heat for over one and a half hours. How is it possible for the contents of the can to not get hot enough to steam? Once I extracted the can from the chicken (carefully) there was definitely steam coming out of it - I tried to take a photo of it but my phone wasn't good enough to. Anyway, each to their own.

There have been many, many people on Reddit also saying that Beer can chicken has been debunked, the can doesn't even get hot enough to let off steam etc. etc. I just don't get it. Have people actually tried it for themselves?
