this has made barbies easy for me.
LOL @ Son of Hibachi! That looks really rather clever, I like.
you light it with the sides closed, after 20 minutes it's ready to rock. Small enough to take camping - big enough the other night when there was 9 of us at home.
It doesn't stop me from burning anything I put onto it though 🙁

Has catfood not understood how this works....
Silverpigeon - thats just an outdoor gas grill.
If it doesn't burn lumpwood charcoal it aint a barbecue imo.
That Son of Hibachi is the smartest piece of kit I've seen since the Weber Go Anywhere

Must admit I thought hard before moving from charcoal to gas but do know that we'll being BBQing much more now. I just think this will be much easier and less hassle. I know a couple of Aussies at work who cook outdoors almost every night in the summer and they have assured me I won't regret it.
baaah thats not a BBQ its got fekin knobs on it!!
Gas is for gayers! 😉
Lot of love for the Webers. Cant beat them.
lol, hope its waterproof too for the weekend.
Never seen the point of cooking in your garden all summer. The odd time or out in the wilds yes but in the middle of the suburbs every summer evening, seems a bit pointless. :p

Got one of these it's brilliant and i don't burn things on it.

I went for one of these last year:

Lanmann Portable BBQ
For the simple reason I wanted something to take camping/out and about with us, but coudn't justify spending too much cash. Works very well indeed!

Moving soon & a BBQ is near the top of the list of things to sort - more inspiration please... 😛
A quick shot of mine out of the window:

Old oven racks and 10 bricks 🙂
Keepin' it real.
Mine went a bit wrong:

All those of you with flashy fancy poncy BBQs; chvck has pwned you all. That is proper class. And Stoner's is pretty good too, although I suspect it is not actually his. Being a ponce, I'm sure Stoner will have the latest state of the art BBQ, probbly with automatic burger turning, and electronic heat control.
Few bricks and old oven grills are where it's at.
courtesy of Morrisons. Their charcoal is very good, ready to cook in under 20mins but you'd have to pile it on if you were doing food for more than just a couple.

no pics but mine is a bit like chvck's, only ineptly cemented together leftover bricks and paving stones. I would like to take credit for it but it came with the house, and is well sheltered, the right height and behind a little gate so fairly child-proof. Best barbie i've ever used!
This is the 'braai' place at my parents house. Only use wood logs and it has never seen a pork sausage or burger patty.

That's not a BBQ though? It's a fireplace...

You are right RB, a proper outdoor 'braai' place. The word BBQ is so wrong (unless you refer to the sauce you squirt on burnt burger patties/pork sausage to disguise the black outer crust 😉 ). It is BRAAI where I come from. BBQ is the name the Texans or maybe Aussies use, but they only know how to turn on the gas.
For using charcoal the Weber range are hard beat, and for portability that Hibachi looks very good.
If you want to learn how to do a BRAAI, ask a South African.

Nah, top of the range bbqs is where its at, who wants to cook on a pile of old bricks, when you can cook on a nicely made one..(ok some of the brick bbqs do look good, but cfh's bbq looks amazing)

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)?
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.
As for the BBQ willy-waving; the whole point is to cook stuff. does not in any way matter how flash the BBQ is.The poncy ones only end up loooking shit after a few goes anyway. And you've got to clean them etc. The simple brick ones, you can just leave, and get a few new bricks whenever necessary.
I'm going to have a scout about for some bricks this weekend. Plenty of building work going on round here! 😀
Shh! Don't tell GrizzlyGus though...
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.

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
