Could you please elaborate? Genuinely want to know more about the bad and good of this.
Also I am wondering if the body is really steel or just the plate.
It’s a piece of trash that will be useless after a few goes if not the first. General consensus I got last time was to just use Weber coal snake method.
Thanks
Thin steel means you'll be constantly battling temp spikes and you'll burn through more fuel.
If you're going to spend less than $200 on a BBQ get a second hand Weber. They're versatile and they're quality, if you graduate from it you'll likely keep it around. If you really want to give one of these cheapy BBQs a go just find a suburb doing kerbside collection and you're bound to fine one.
To be fair i have the Bunnings equivalent of this. theyre ok but it depends what you want to use it for.
Pros: Its cheap!.
I've successfully done a 12 hour brisket in this thing and it turned out great. I've done ribs and various other smoked goodies in it and it does work.
Cons: It doesn't hold heat that well.If you are doing ribs or wings its great, Brisket is harder - but you get an ok product out of it….
Because of the design (its a bowl with heat beads in it) its hard to fill with extra fuel - you end up poking it in the side and jostling coals around.
It also doesn't hold heat that well - i struggled to keep the heat at 250F for a good brisket cook and it goes up and down too much. Sometimes the heat would go too far on the upside or too much on the downside. Its thin metal so it doesn't insulate well
Overall: for the $60 i paid for my bunnings one, i got comfortable with cooking briskets. It works if you tend to it. I've now upgraded to a Wildfire Longhorn competition offset unit for about $1200 which is currently on the road to my house!.
Agreed, went and bought a cheap sheet steel box smoker to try if it's something I could get into and whilst it got the job done, it was an absolute nightmare to maintain the right temps and properly control airflow. Persisted and upgraded to a Weber Kettle and it's been such a breeze and I've even had a cook going overnight with little input required and so just much more worth it paying a bit more for something better, even if simply for the piece of mind when you're cooking with meat that you've forked out some good $$ for.
There are plenty of decent condition Kettles for sale on Gumtree if you can't justify one brand new, they all basically work the same.
which weber would you recommend
Yea these are rubbish. Used mine twice then ended up in a council cleanup. Very hard to maintain temp, poor build quality.
Went and spent $1,000 of a charcoal smoker. Never looked back.
I had one of these (not exactly the same brand but similar structure) and they loose heat so quickly i.e. food takes lot longer to cook and constant watch on the temp is needed. Don't recommend it.
dont buy this……..it will put you off smoking….as it will be almost impossible to main a steady temp…
go weber or proq
