bbq

Gas barbecue grills win from the convenience point of view.
After doing several coal bbq's over the years, I have switched to a gas bbq now.
We had an inexpensive bbq that we got 6 yrs back - but that totally killed the joy of bbq.

This yr we upgraded to the weber 310. Its a smaller grill - but sufficient for the family (plus a few friends) The net effect is that we had a record 3 bbq's in the past week. We do simple menus that include burgers / suasages etc. But the convenience is terrific.
Lesson learned : dont go for the inexpensive bbq grill + get a gas grill (unless you have a real lot of time on your hand)
