With a little imagination, something you lack, one can do everything (and then some) with a good pizza oven.

      You get what you pay for with a BBQ. Half of these things won’t hold heat consistently for a pork shoulder or get hot enough for a rib eye. Pay the money and you’ll have it forever.

      Nobody ever said I wish I’d gone cheap instead of the 1200’s.

      Spending on a quality grill is the disc 2 of life.

          Cooking a brisket in a pizza oven might get you murdered in Texas.

          Not that it takes much, mind.

          Honestly think it’s not a bad idea.

              Lol. Or a free tow tied to the back of a pickup!

              Can control the temp too.

                  Old-Dutch The Aldi one looks better imo. £75 cheaper too

                  Sadly not in stock.

                  Will pull the trigger on the Argos one.

                      Can’t go wrong with Weber

                        Completely disagree with this. Have never used a hybrid myself but my bbq is capable of cooking anything. You have vents on the sides and a lever to raise or lower the height of the coals. Just means you need to be more hands on -which is kind of the point of a bbq no?

                        You can stick anything directly on top of the coals to sear it and them move it away from the direct heat to the other side. Keep the lid down and let the heat do it’s thing

                            Place not far from here does just incredible brisket and short ribs. After going vegan for January it was the first place I went. I almost had an erection.

                                Yeah you’re right. Probably spoke to strongly. I just think the satisfaction from buying quality outlasts the happiness from saving money. You buy a Green Egg, you have that forever. It’ll stand up. Never seen one of those on the side of the road for free. Other grills I have.

                                  When my current BBQ gives up the ghost I’ll certainly look at something higher end but reckon there’s a few more years in it yet. It’s a fucking tank

                                    There’s a funny doc about this guy who was VERY AGGRIEVED FEWMIN and bought a steam roller, reinforced it with steal and concrete, and proceeded to demolish an entire town. He died so I guess that’s sad but I appreciated the effort.

                                    Here’s his “Tank”

                                    AMERICA!

                                    It had a gun attached, obviously.

                                        Okay just looked it up, it’s called “Tread”.

                                        It’s not the best doc but enjoyable if you need 90 minutes to kill if you’re under the weather or something. Him going bananas and the police being completely incapable of stopping him is just flat out funny. He was so angry.

                                          Have heard grate things about electric igniton charcoal BBQ’s

                                          Mad_Cyril I bought the ooni 3 last May, great bit of kit. I’ve only done pizzas and flat breads, naans in them. Need to get a cast iron pan to cook some other stuff in it.
