Finally bit the bullet and splashed out on a new BBQ today. It’s a Weber E210 and cost far more than a BBQ should :-( I’ve used gas BBQ’s for years now and each time I need to replace one I spend a bit more. The first was a B&Q, or Homebase, own brand which lasted only a couple of years before rusting away, bought a second one which lasted a similar time, I then bought a more expansive Outback which lasted about 5 years before rusting away which brings us to now and the Weber. The reason I get through BBQ’s at a fast rate is that I use them year round. They are located outside the backdoor and I use them almost as often as I use the regular cooker – even did the Christmas bird in it one year (they are lidded and can therefore be used for roasting). A gas BBQ can also come close to being a tandoor – close the lid, turn everything up to full and leave for 15 minutes. The temperature will rise well above anything you can generate in a regular oven and tandoori chicken cooks beautifully – black bits on the outside but cooked and still moist meat. It’s being delivered on Tuesday morning. Here’s what it looks like.
