So I got it today and Darren from AmericanBBQ personally delivered it and helped set it up and get it into the garden (currently only have use of 1 arm so needed assistance).
The first remark from my brother (who pays the bills) was - "That better not cost a lot to run if you look at doing 10 hour+ cooks. Otherwise your rent goes up!"
So, I got to investigating the cost to run this on just the electricity side of things. I was quite happily suprised!
So, using a rate of 13p per Kilowatt (ours is actually 12p but I prefer to over estimate) and 2 start ups (2nd start-up added for error room, again I like to over estimate) then a 10 hour cook will cost a total of
10p!That's 30 minutes of start-up @ 240W and then 10 hours @ 60W as per the GMG specifications found on their website.
My brother then said if I start doing 4 a month he wants me to set up a direct debit for £0.40
