Aussie BBQ Forum

Hi Davo, Thanks for your reply and suggestions. Yep, already on the WSC facebook page, as well as the kamado one. Maybe I'll ask there, but the conversation seems to be mostly about actual cooking than purchasing. I asked this question on a US forum, and so far every reply has been about the poor cu...

Hi all, So a few months after buying a lovely Weber gas BBQ I want to now get a charcoal one. Looking at a kamado style as they seem to do well with grilling and smoking. There are the obvious options of Kamado Joe, and Big Green Egg. As well as the Weber Summit Charcoal as a non ceramic contender. ...

Ha, nice idea. Will keep my eye out.

Thanks.

Hi wilsonj Davo's suggestion to get a seperate flat plate bbq is a very good one. I believe you can buy 2 burner fold up flat plate bbq's at bunnings for $200 new. Second hand should get one for $50 or less. You could use that for campinp too if you go. Best of both worlds then. Cheers hjl Hi hjl, ...

Hi wilsonj I believe you would or should have got a flat plate with your genesis. So that should cover a lot of bases. Did you get a cookbook with your new bbq. ? That would guide you on using the new bbq. I think you have made a wise choice. Bbq is what Weber do. Enjoy. Cheers hjl Hi hjl, Yes, the...

Thatsa great BBQ, did you get the iGrill gadget? Please let us know how your first BBQ goes... Happy BBQ-ing, Paul Thanks Paul. I will be happy to report back. We have some scotchies lined up for tomorrow as well as some sausages for the kids. Yup, I did get the iGrill, as well as tools, pizza ston...

Great piece of BBQ, Weber warranty is second to none. I just had a 6 year old kettle replaced due to rust, simple and just happened Make sure you show your first cook on your new BBQ What part of SA are you in? Thanks. Yes the continuous praise I kept reading about Weber finally pushed me in that d...

For those interested, I ended up with a Weber Genesis 415. Looked at quite a few, but the Weber seems to have the best support and warranty, was reasonably priced for the size and ticked most of the boxes. Went to BBQ Galore and was not impressed. Felt very "salesy". I'm sure each store is...

Thanks Titch I'm in country SA though, but I'll look around. General question about the Turbo elite RQT. It seems this is a very polarising product. It either gets a 1 out of 10 or 9 out of 10. QTF ? (little joke there) Generally though there is a severe lack of reviews for a product that has been a...

So further research has lead me to a couple choices. WeberQ3200 or Genesis 2 E455 Ziegler and Brown Turbo classic 4 burner or elite 5 burner. Second option is a premium over the Weber I know. Is the RQT much better, or mostly different ? I read many bad reviews of BBQ Galore. Even with a 10ye warran...

Thanks for the fast replies! I was thinking flat plates were better for cooking sausages ? Or is everyone cooking on these on grills ? Thanks also for the tip on the grillgate, looks interesting. So, does no one cook predominately on plates ? I really wanted something like 700mm+ of flat plate, and ...

Hi all, I recently retired a beefeater 4 burner after about 22 years. And am now in need of a replacement. Turns out I probably need to do this this week. I have to admit to being a little lost right now, so any advice welcomed. Generally I find I am cooking snags, marinated steaks and kebabs, but a...
