I don't know anything about barbecues. Someone tell me some things about them and recommend one for outdoor use. Ideally I'd like to spend about £200, is this enough for a nice one or should I fork out a bit more?
What are some things I should be aware of when buying a barbecue set?
>>12018 I want a nice one. If I wanted some tat, I'd dig a hole in a ground and drag a carcass or two in there. Wasn't there a bbq thread somewhere here? I can't find it anywhere.
Well, for starters you haven't said if you want a gas bbq or a charcoal one. Gas is a lot less hassle but doesn't give the same smokey bbq flavour imo, it also doesn't feel as satisfying.
When I visited my parents a few weeks ago, they insisted we lay down tin foil on the BBQ and cook on top of that. I did a double take and quickly realised they are being serious.
Why do you do that? I asked. "Because it's healthier and the smoke doesn't get to the meat".
Then save the bother and do it in the oven, because it'll be no different.
After some quarelling and sighs of resignation, I won and we had a normal BBQ as GOD intended. Needless to say, I had the last laugh when they admitted my cooking technique was flawless.
