que: Seen in Robert Dyas (UK) Outback gas controlled bar be que for about a 拢100, would this be any good? what should i look out for? or is coal method the best?|||I have redcently started working in a garden centre selling bbqs! I wouldn't reccomend a cheap barbie of any kind. buy quality and it will last years! I would reccomend a Weber Q series,they are gas bbqs but the whole taste thing doesn't come into it. Weber gas grills have "flavorizer" bars,all the fat drips onto them sizzles and smokes creating the traditional charcoal taste. what a correspondant said about the lid is true,having the lid down reduces flare ups and creates an even cooking space. Don't just do meat on your grill either they are far more versatile than that,you can do all your veg,pizzas even cakes and bread! The Q series are also nice and portable so you can take them anywhere you want to eat! you could try the australian version if Weber and choose beefeater fairly pricey but they know what they are doing|||coal tasts better and are cheeper to buy but gas lights quicker and are easier to clean. Its up to you what you find more important, i personaly am building my own coal bbq they look great and still work out cheaper.|||For flavor, go charcoal. Gas grills can only add flavor if you add wood chips in a pan to create smoke. The problem I have with gas grills is that the burner assemblies seem to be made cheap and you end up replacing them every couple years. The grates can also rot away. There are good gas grills but you will pay the premium price for them. Buy a brand that you can get replacement parts for.|||Most important consideration is to make sure you get a grill with a lid that can be closed and air vents that can be adjusted - that way you can ensure properly cooked food that won't give you food poisoning! As the other answers have already said charcoal is better for flavour - I never see the point in a gas grill - might as well cook the food in the oven.|||GAS IS DEFINITELY BETTER IN MY OPINION. ALTHOUGH COAL OUNCE READY COOKS GREAT! I SUGGEST SPENDING A LITTLE MORE AND BUYING A STAINLESS STEAL PROPAINE BBQ. THERE ARE MANY BRANDS BUT AS LONG AS ITS STAINLESS STEAL YOU WONT BE BUYING A BBQ EVERY 3 YRS! WITH A LITTLE CARE THEY LAST A LONG TIME.
