British BBQ Society Forums

Unfortunately I didn't manage to get any jalapeños this time. There's an international food shop near me on leith walk that does them though so I'm definitely going to give them a try next time

I stay in Edinburgh, but as its only a small flat that I live in I don't really have the chance to bbq much, so I keep my smoker at my parents' over the bridge in Fife. It's only a short drive for when I want to cook something... Which will be soon :)


This is a great forum for you to help with ...

The Weber 57cm is on sale in B&Q for £80 now which is well within my so-called budget and at £180 less than my favoured choice (the ProQ Frontier Elite) it's looking like a good option. I am more interested in smoking meat, both hot and cold as I really love smoked meat and cheese, than barbecuing ...

Tiny, if anyone has summed up why people should steer clear of a Landmann, it is you.

I thank you sir

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies and great advice.

I realise now that I was being naive at budget I was looking at. This was based on the Landmann which of course I will not be going for now. I am definitely prepared to pay more..

Hi all,

I have been wanting to get a smoker for a while now and finally decided to do something about it. I had decided on getting a Landmann Tennessee and have done a lot of research on modifications required to get them smoking properly etc. However, after stumbling upon this forum this morning I ...
