Anyone got one of these,if so what size? and how do you rate them?

I'm thinking of getting one, but it's alot to shell out.... 

(excuse the poor attempt at wit)

Any other options people would recommend, i'm aware of komodo joes being a bit cheaper .

Again anyone have one of these?

Yeah i'm UK but that doesn't often stop me from sparking up, i was out BBQing ribeye steaks in the snow 2013, no bother.

Besides this seems to be more a wood burning oven/smoker/slow cooker/ BBQ grill/ pizza oven(if you BUY the not included stone)

I loves a smoking BBQ i does mmmm, regardless of weather.

But is THIS one worth the price? Maybe not...

Well to be honest i was thinking the same and hoping someone else would be thinking the same, i've got a few ideas to punt about to people 

who are interested.

We shall see....

I'm not happy with you.

I don't need one, but I feel like I want one now............

Don't mate, i know i know, i'm sorry about that.

Buuut the world of slow smoking some short ribs or baby back ribs or beer can chicken or BBQing some fat juicy grass fed rib steaks or stone baking my favourite (not favorite as the damn auto correct keeps telling me) toppings on a fresh pizza dough, well let's just say this...appeals to me.

But if i can fix one up myself and save a quid, sure to make it taste that much better.

PRO'S -Fresh air , ICE cold beer, meat and all of above mentioned.

CON'S - temporary belly size restriction for inhalation of above.

So i guess i have a project on.

Can feel a merging of threads coming on............bio-gas powered barbie with a solar thermal plate warmer..............maybe a simple ground source passive cooling system for the tinnies...........achieved with a buried water butt and solar voltaic powered fan!  Guinness

 

[Andy™]

Was thinking more along the lines of this...
