OK, I admit it, I used to own a gas 'barbecue'.
Obviously I wasn't thinking straight and was mislead but the nonsense about 'ease of use' and 'convenience', neither or which were true. In fact I quickly discovered that the hideous thing I bought from Homebase was in fact:
1. Messy and difficult to clean
2. Badly made and looked like it had been to hell and back within 18 months even though carefully used, cleaned and stored.
3. Provided no satisfaction whatsoever.
This weekend I took the aforementioned disaster to the dump and purchased a Weber One-Touch Premium and on the very first use discovered what I had been missing. It looks great, works great, the food tastes fab and because the fat get's incinerated on the coals, requires almost NO cleaning. Brilliant!
Oh and the chimney starter is quite possibly the coolest, most useful gadget I have ever used.
Anyway, I'm now looking forward to a long and happy relationship with my new Weber and will probably be asking lots of stupid questions.
All the best
Steve
