    This is the small size. I don't recommend it unless you have space issues on a balcony or in a car.

    • Could you please elaborate a little bit on it's limitations?
      I'm imagining it doesn't fit enough coals for a certain size roast or it can't fit the meat etc.

        there's a 57cm one

      • +1

        When you're cooking in a charcoal bbq, you generally lose about half of the actual grill area. Either because you have 1/2 as direct heat and 1/2 as indirect, or if you're doing a roast you usually have the baskets taking up about 1/4 of the space on either side, or for a low and slow with the snake method you loose a large ring around the outside. Due to this, the 47cm model really can fit a lot less than the 57cm. Also due to being a diameter measure, the 47cm grill actually loses about 1/3rd of the usable area, and the 57cm can already be tight on some larger pieces like a brisket or whole bird.

      • 57 CM one has a higher dome, which is better. 10cm, when considered as a diameter, is a lot of realestate for cooking!

    • Please don't bbq in a car.

    The ash tray on these models is a pain - can get very messy especially if there's any wind about.

    • Put a metal bucket above ask catcher.

  • Exactly, I have cooked three chooks on a 57cm weber. You can't do that in the 47cm.

    • +2

      But you can do two, if you need too. And it is more than the most of families need. With the big one you will always be paying for the size with the fuel.

      • +2

        It's horses for courses. I picked up a he 46cm Jamie Oliver one years ago and it's not the best party BBQ but if you are keen to BBQ at home on coals and want a lid, it's better than having to heat up a big BBQ. It takes a fair bit of coal to properly fill one, and the bigger the more coal.

        Basically if you only bother bbqing when there's lots of people over get a big one, but if you are mainly looking after your direct family and invite single other families over (e.g cooking for a total if less than 15 people and you are happy to grill only eg skewers) then you can easily get away with the smaller one. 15 people is probably 2-3 loads of skewers and sangas

    is this the 57cm one without the thermometer? how important/handy is it to have it…it's like $100 more to get the one with it.

    BBQ noob here but thinking of getting one to start using my balcony lol

    • +1

      Thermometer essentual, either the weber one a digital probe. Ensure you get the 57cm with a high dome.

    • This is the compact. Dont get it. Try Heat and Grill or an autherised weber dealer or Weber themselves. Often the coloured onee go on sale to clear them.

      Tbh get the premium with the Ash collector and all the extras. Its a one off purchase.

      Also BBQ noob here.

      I think a thermometer might be useful if you cook with the lid on. This could be good for long roasts or smoking meat.

      When I'm doing a normal bbq with sausages and whatnot, I didn't find putting the lid on too useful as I needed to flip the meat after a few mins anyways.

      For that BBQ you've linked, it says it's compact and it does look more squished rather than the usual rounded full bodied shape.

      Not sure what that might mean but the charcoal may be raised up closer to the grill where you put your food and there may not be as much room to put more charcoal in there.

    • +1

      Thermometer isn't super relevant. Being at the top of the dome means you can't really rely on the reading, as the temperature at the grill will be different. That being said I wouldn't recommend the compact one. The shorter distance from the charcoal to the grill does make a big difference.

      • I don't have a thermometer, and I just stick an analogue oven thermometer in the breathing bent/hole if I need to

    Buy the Jumbuck from bunnings and save yourself some many to fund a few bbqs

    https://www.bunnings.com.au/jumbuck-globe-charcoal-kettle-bb…

    The last one I bought has lasted just over 11 years.. the riviews are still good so I imagine it is still the same quality.

    • -1

      They're really not the same. Barbeques are really one area where, to a degree at least, you get what you pay for. The jumbuck will probably do fine for quick cooks, but if you're trying to hold a temperature for a longer time it's just not going to work as well as a Weber or Komodo or other higher end brand.

      • +1

        Most Bunnings BBQs end up at the tip in couple of years and don’t cook well.
        I’ve got a 30 year old Weber trolley bbq and a 20 year old Weber Kettle. If you put a cover over them, they last a long very long time. Replacement parts are also easy to get.

  • Am noob. How does this differ to a hibachi?
    I have a gas bbq but want more of that smokey charred taste when doing KBBQ style pork belly and beef rib strips

    • +2

      Different as in it has a lid, so if you don't mind learning, and probably having a few bad cooks initially, you can smoke meats in a Weber.

      Unless you're planning to do slow cooks, it shouldn't be much different to a hibachi (someone else can chime in if I'm wrong).

      If you're wanting a smoker flavour on your hibachi, you could try using a few small wood chips in with the coals, apple wood something similar. But most of it will be lost without a lid

    Get a 2nd hand 57cm Weber, I would recommend the bigger unit if you have space. Should cost $150 for a refurb.

    There's a place in Chipping Norton selling a very decent knock off of the 57cm Weber for $150, but they're a bit of a small sole trader / you won't know if they'll still be around for warranty.

    Currently trying out a vidaXL 33cm Kamado knockoff as Europe reviews looked good..

    • +2

      Came here to say this. Get an old 57cm, hit it with a razer scraper and some 0000 steel wool, new grates and a set of wooden handles from 'wood n handles' on FB and you've got a kettle that's better than new IMO.

  • -1

    Non Australian model. Wouldn’t be covered by Weber warranty

  • Other than the cheaper price, objectively what does it do better than the Kamado Joe Classic I, II & III?

    • Portability, abuse resistant, gateway product.

      Less injury prone with Kamado heat burps, heavy weight, and potential cracked ceramic and fire bowls.

      Easier to reduce temps down with beginner heat management issues.

      I'll grab a Joe one day when they're on sale though..

      • Heat burbs can be quite scary.

      • @ Synticulous It wasn’t really a question, I own a Kamado Joe, I was kind of just trolling. I would choose a Kamado Joe any day of the week over a Weber charcoal BBQ, and that’s coming from a fan of Weber as a Weber Genesis BBQ owner for gas.

        Every negative you listed they haven’t been a problem for me.

        Their heavier weight isn’t all that relevant either in my opinion. Mine stays at home in the same spot and never moves. Portability isn’t a major need for charcoal BBQs considering many councils don’t allow charcoal BBQs in local parks and public areas, they generally are only approved with a permit for certain large events.

  • I bought this 8 years ago thinking it would be junk:

    https://www.bunnings.com.au/jumbuck-57cm-medina-kettle-bbq_p…

    8 years later still going strong, makes me wonder how/why the genuine webber could be better.

    • The things like Weber are purely just for fanboys.. the cheaper products work as well but people just like to talk up the expensive shit without really even knowing how good the cheaper bunnings product is.

    • I bought the slightly more premium one for my in-laws and they're surprisingly good. I forgot when I bought it, but it's at least 5 years old. Still looks really new.
