    After my succesful first BBQ at the weekend, I'm now on the lookout for a 'real' BBQ.
    Has to be charcoal, would like a lid on it, not too big, but not too small.
    Had a quick look today in B&Q but didn't see anything I liked. They were either too big or too rickety.
    Found this one in Argos for £20, got some good reviews and seems about the right size, but just hasn't got a lid and would have to spend another tenner on a cover.

    Do you need a cover or do you have shed etc to put it in once finished with?

    Is it round in middle maybe a bit to small, is there 3 0r 4 of you ? or maybe we are just greedy lol.
    I personally dont like the round ones prefer rectangle shaped.
    Just back into comping past few months to help me get over rubbish in life.... won Hotpoint fridge freezer, soda stream

    sfh, there are 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 kids. Have a garage but already full of carp!:rolleyes:
    We are hopefully getting a summerhouse for the bottom of the garden soon (with magnum vouchers and amazon help) so it could go in there.
    I guess for £20, even if it lasts just one summer its not bad value.
    Am on a mission now, I know what I'm like. I want it now!:rotfl:

    I really really don't want it to be hot on the 27th June - the rest of the summer can be wonderful!

    I still need to find a short long-sleeved white cardigan so if anyone has any ideas of where I can find one please let me know!
