Which BBQ?
« on: March 29, 2015, 05:26:20 PM »
Hi all

We are currently researching and trying to decide on the best BBQ set up.  The Weber Baby Q is spoken of highly (although I have friends who hate theirs!) and uses the one burner principle. 

However I see there is also a Swift that has two side by side round burners like your standard stove but still has hood etc.

Also the Sizzler (which I think comes in KK's as an option) which has two ribbon full length burners with separate controllers. 

Apart from the steaks, snags, kebabs etc will also be using for roasts, baking etc. 

Has any got some pros and cons for these different set ups.  First hand experience would be great.

Thanks heaps :)  Allana

Weber bbq with the temp gauge and tall lid.
Great bbq but weber work on lid down cooking and some people don't get the concept and struggle with them.
Plenty of resources on them as are recipies.
I personally cook on weber kettles but by q is a great bbq.
The medium size one not so good

Another vote for the Weber Q. We now have two. A Baby Q which we bought first and love! Take it with us camping always. Then we bought a Family Q and use it all the time.

Thanks Oldmate

My apologies I have missed that one.

Seems the Q is the most favoured.  Might make an offer to the friends who don't like theirs :cheers:
