That top thing isn't really a barbecue is it - it's just a gas grill really - no smoky charcoal taste to the food.
I've just got a cheapo one from Wilkos that works fine. That Son of Hibachi thing looks ace though.

What if you can't/dont want to bung up a bloody great brick structure in yer back yard (provided you've even got a back yard)?
Try this then:
'So, does everything tast much better cooked in one of those things, then? I can't see where you actually bung the food, tbh. And is not it a tad tricky getting stiff in and out? Looks a right palaver, to me.'
You have much to learn my son...
and yes, it does taste better.
No willy waving going on, just passionate about one of our 'national sports'. I like the brick tricks' of chvk and stoner a lot as well and have cooked many a braai on something similar.

Oh, and StevetheBarbarian's fire place looks very good too.

Ooh, I like the railing-mounted one! That would work well on my little balcony. Where it is from, I buy it?
How on earth does food taste 'better',then? You using special wood or something?

Well for starters with a big fireplace you can have more coals. You can then control the way you cook the meat much better by spreading the coals were you need them and add coals as you please. This results in being able to cook chiken, steak, lamb chops (yummm) at the right temperature (very important).

Stevethebarbarian Your garden looks like the most child unfriendly place i have ever seen. I take it you dont have young kids. I would give my son 5 mins to either put himself in hospital running into the head height piece of rock slab sticking out or another 5mins to mange to crush his sister with the plant pot on top of the bricks. Looks very nice though
Normal barbie from Argos here. Use it quite regular and now we have our own vegtables we and salad growing we have had some very nice evening meals sat on the decking with the kids

I don't have kids, and never even thought of that aspect of it. There's very often up to 10 kids running around in there - they even climb over the fence at the top of the garden. To date, no injuries at all I'm pleased to say. The plant pot is a water feature, with a fountain, mist maker and light(looks like flame at night) - too heavy for a kiddie to topple:

Looks great Steve. I just know my son would find danger at the slighterst oppertunity in that garden.
Thats why i lock him in his padded cell every night

This S.A. v Australia v Texas v Peckham thing is all very well but the best barbecue I've ever tasted was Argentinian. They know how to cook meat over there I tell you.

That Son of Hibachi looks just the thing I've been searching for.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Ahhh from the 'I wannt one of these' web site:
Please note that due to us Brits supposedly not getting the 'Hibachi' thing, UK Son of Hibachis are now called 'Grilletto'.Posted 2 years ago # -
I've been looking at those Son of Hibachi BBQs, and also the Weber Go-anywhere - anyone used both and can give a comparison of their respective good and bad points?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Used a Go Anywhere for years and its very good but that Grilleto/ Sonofa bitch is pretty damn clever.
That's some barbecue Donald but why are they cooking indoors?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Having spent a few minutes looking at both, I know which one I would/will buy - OK, so it costs a bit more but it does seem to be more compact, bigger, quicker and user friendly.
Having said that, I HATE people who have bbq's in their garden in residential areas. Beach, woods, field - no problem, but underneath my bedroom window in the height of the summer Grrrrrrrrr.

H-Bash - it's originally a gaucho thing done outdoors but it's now also done in dedicated restaurants. Some of Buenos Aires' finest restaurants have these things in the window.

You sound like a lovely neighbour!
If I lived next door to you, I'd have BBQs every single day. Even if it was raining.

Old oven racks and 10 bricks
Keepin' it real.Ah Stoner, you understand the fine art 'asado' I see.
It is of course what Comandante Che would do.
And no one knows better than the Argentines how to grill meat. Typically they will have asados anywhere and everywhere, often in the street (as manual workers often do in their lunch breaks)
Only the very basics are required, as this street asado in Argentina shows :
