Yeh, with all the extras and stuff you need a large one will end up costing about £1.5k, so driving 80miles to pick one up probably wouldn't be a concern  |

They are confirmed brilliant. Easily controlable, easy to clean and maintain. Build quality is excellent cant praise it enough, but it is X x £100 depending on size. |

I do need a new bbq tbf. My last one was £250 but after 2 summers and winters uncovered it just a pile of rusty bolts now. I would love a brick bbq thing but not got the space for it.
Any one got any thoughts on BBQs which are less expensive than novelty easter eggs?

Only on blonde can you ask for BBQ advice and end up acting as a dispute mediator and babysitter.

The Big Green Egg is the very best in BBQ, they even use them at the Savoy Grill. They do however take all the guess work and experimentation out of BBQ which is the beauty of it. Dave's suggestion of the Webber's is excellent. I personally use an offset smoker BBQ:  gently smoking a large Brisket for 10 hours on a summer Saturday is a special balancing act of keeping the charcoal lit at the right temperature, and not getting too pissed too soon and letting the fire out! |

Ok what exactly is a brisket? Hear about it all the time on the Big bang theory, sounds nice, is it a big chunk of cheap beef that needs slow cooking?
