Looking for a new BBQ. Any recommendations on brands to consider/avoid?

I had a Boss Deluxe BBQ for 2 years. Got it out yesterday to ready to service for the coming season & it’s completely rusted through. Gutted about it really considering it’s only been 2 seasons, so need a new one. I need something durable that will cope well with the British weather (I will leave it outside but covered up year round). Plenty of heat to do steaks, etc. & relatively affordable - under £500. Probably looking at a 2-3 burner but would consider a 4 too. Bonus if it has a smoker feature too!

Anyone able to suggest one? Thanks in advance!

My new Plancha arrived!!!

After weeks of research and looking at different outdoor kitchen setups, I finally went with a unit from BBQ-Plancha. Super happy with the quality so far.

I was worried about the heat distribution, but it’s surprisingly even across the whole surface. I’ve been using it every night this week,eggs and bacon for breakfast, then steaks for dinner. Cleaning it is way easier than scrubbing greasy grates, which is the biggest win for me lol.

Just thought I’d share for anyone looking for UK-based suppliers. Their service was spot on. Check them out if you’re looking to level up your outdoor cooking!

Now... what should I cook on it this weekend?

The weather and time has been against me so far this year….

…but finally a chance to BBQ something and cook outdoors. The big Weber needs a new grill grate, so I’ve broken out the ancient Smokey Joe and pressed it into service for this evening’s dinner.

And also finally decided to open my last ever 😢 bag of Whittle & Flame charcoal….

Just a couple of chicken breasts and some merguez sausages from the butcher to go with a salad, pitta and some homemade hummus.

New BBQ same again or something new?

I have been grilling/smoking on the "smoke hollow" from costco for the last 4/5 years and it has done me very well. But it seems rust has won and the grill grates and charcoal basket don't work as well as they should anymore.

do I just replace with the new model from Costco or is there something in the £250-500 region that performs much better?

Lid slammed when I was changing the gasket :( I have the three pieces that chipped off. What’s my best option?

Is the difference between the Master touch 5750 and 5755 worth it?

Hi all

Hope you are bbqing away the bank holiday! I seem to be set on the Master Touch and just had a Q on them.

Curious if you think the difference between the 5750 and 5755 is worth it? It seems to be just the grates that’s the difference.

This seems a good deal for the 5755 and include a chimney starter-

And for the 5750 this seems the best - https://www.wowbbq.co.uk/weber-master-touch-gbs-black-e-5750-charcoal-bbq-57cm-14701004?gad_campaignid=230264295
