Yeah, reading a few reviews online this seems like the one to have. I'll just have to put up with the shear brutishness of the thing. Let me know if you find a bargain!

Sounds good...

I'm thinking about a Weber Q3200. I was initially thinking about a Genesis II E310, but when I looked at it in the shop I realised it is a behemoth of a thing. Although a fair bit smaller, the Q3200 would probably be good enough for my needs and is also cheaper. Seems to have good reviews online.
Any thoughts from the non-gas-haterz?
If you do spot a deal, post it!
I'd recommend the bigger ones (or at least ones with more than one controllable burner) purely as you have more control over the temp. You can run one burner on and the other low or off to create a multi zoned cooking area.
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

I think you're right, particularly for my needs, as when it's the wife and I we tend to divide the bbq up so I can do veggies for her on one side.unzippy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 7:21 amPersonally I wouldn't bother with a Q unless I was travelling.

Re: BBQs
I have a Weber go aswell, when using it on a beach, I use it to cook then dig a fire pit and use the remnants to start a fire. Works a treat in the UK.
Gas-wise, I’ve got a Broil King, which has lasted extremely well over the last 12 years I’ve had it.

Re: BBQs
They were £572 in B&Q in July, amazingly: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/weber- ... ue-3261638 and £559 at WowBBQ last November: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/weber- ... bq-3107817
Have you looked at all the variations of each model? The S310 has a side burner, not sure how useful that is (for cooking your baked beans in a pan on the side?). On the Spirit you need the GBS model; that means it has the cast iron griddles rather than the cheap pressed steel enamel ones. I think all Spirit IIs come with them.
Actually going into garden centres might be a better way of picking up a bargain; online prices seem to be almost uncannily similar, as if Weber themselves set a discount which their authorised online sellers all use.

Re: BBQs
eBay seem quite keen on their 10 and 20% discount codes at the moment. Might be worth a look on their and stick a couple in your watch list and see if a useable code pops up.

Re: BBQs
Damn you Harry - what should pop up but a Genesis E-410 (4-burner) for under £750: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Weber-Genesi ... 3658486096integrale_evo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 10:28 am eBay seem quite keen on their 10 and 20% discount codes at the moment.

I'll add that to my Watch list and if I get 10% off might buy it. It's unnecessarily large but it's cool as fuck.

How does that work with ebay discount codes? They just send them?

Re: BBQs
Sometimes they email them out, sometimes they're on a banner in the front page of the app. Usually only last a couple of days and can usually only be used once with a minimum purchase price. Sometimes they're category based and sometimes only apply to certain sellers.duncs500 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 10:45 amToo big for me I think, but would be awesome.Jobbo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 10:32 amDamn you Harry - what should pop up but a Genesis E-410 (4-burner) for under £750: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Weber-Genesi ... 3658486096integrale_evo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 10:28 am eBay seem quite keen on their 10 and 20% discount codes at the moment.

Re: BBQs
They are very useful for starting your charcoal in the chimney

Re: BBQs
Dunno - I've got one but never used it
It's always the charcoal that gets used.
