We will be in touch
Afternoon all, I'm fed up with replacing my BBQ every year because the grill is rusty, I want something that will last so I'm weighing up the options.
Having owned a Weber 100Q for a good few years for camping purposes I appreciate the cast iron cooking surface (grate)for relatively easy cleaning & non rust properties, but I want a charcoal unit with a bigger surface for home use, so before I run out & buy a Weber CharQ before they sell out, is there anything else I should consider?
PS, it will stay in the garden all year round, but it will be covered.
Cheers in advance.
Just buy a new grill?
Forum search for weber bbq
Done a search, limited info, especially when you want a cast grill, & "just buy a new grill" only works once you have purchased a quality item with available spares.
Thanks anyway.
Just buy stainless steel grills and build your own

Thanks, but I want a cast grill, having owned one I don't want anything else, sorry but I did say there was a limited choice...
Weber all the time. Had our charcoal kettle (One touch Gold 57cm one) for ages and it has never missed a beat. Good heat, good cooking, gadgets galore...
Just buy one.
The stainless dancook ones in home base look good, waiting for a sale.
What about this one?

I thought you needed a lid to cook properly, plus the dancook one's are as expensive as the Weber's...

I have a

and its brilliant - Year 4 and Its still grand. wood surround has paid the price of the last two winters but its still solid and cooks great.
I second the Outback Omega 200, I need to replace my grill and charcoal tray but overall I love it.
I thought you needed a lid to cook properly
Why?
with a lid you can cook indirectly and it makes the BBQ much more versatile also you can smoke stuff..
