Gaza the Instructor Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Well guys Grilling on my old faithful last night(Thursday) and something was bought to my attention. I have burnt through my beloved Outback which I purchased in June 1991. It is or was awesome as a grill, measuring 36x18 inches for grill size split 50/50,with very thick heavy cast grill plates. So 29 years of parties family do's and just sexy Steak for two. Full of memories, but what do I replace with. I offered Gas ,a firm no, same to pellet(my choice). As I have the WSM and we split on the grill? https://www.costco.co.uk/Garden-Sheds-Patio/Smoke-Hollow-36-914cm-Premium-Charcoal-Barbecue/p/1900677 This was her choice, and mine at just over £200 good value I think??? We have a baby gas twin burner in the shed been there 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you a picture of the “wear and tear” as it maybe possible to repair for less than the potential replacement. look around for a blacksmith/fabricator/agricultural/plants repairs man in your local area, mine recently upped sticks and moved to France🤬 had some new grates fabricated for a 25 year old thermos gasser after about 18 years got another 4 years out of it before the ally fire box finally cried enough, have to admit wasn’t cared for at all and general abused, but that was because it fell 20 feet on road stone when the “digger driver tried to move it in the bucket with a 10 tonner” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can do that again Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Hope your replacement is as faithful as it’s predecessor, having previously spent a fair amount of time researching before pulling the trigger on Q’s , lucky to have friends in the states in the Q trade, Smoke Hollow doesn’t rate very highly, message sent last night just got a laughing icon and that they don’t last very long or fuel efficient but hope to be proved wrong🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaza the Instructor Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Well it looks ok we are only going to use it as a grill. A little short of choice! Everyone now on pellet she will not entertain. Chefs are funny they don't do complicated just their skills and for that reason at £200 don't think I can go wrong.

U can do that again Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Why not get a kettle then, enough options size and price wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaza the Instructor Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 This is bigger and nearer in size to my old one. I would buy the same again but when I enquired they stopped making 18 years ago. I don't think a kettle is what she wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
