Used a BabyQ last week and was very happy with what it does.

Nearly bit the bullet, but my natural tight-arse instincts steered me towards a cheaper version.

Very happy with its performance today with its light weight and ability to cook a sausage sizzle in breezy conditions.

It uses a throw away gas canister but can buy a gas hose down the track.

I won't recommend it yet until further testing, but it seems to be a bloody ripper.

Couple of pics from today and some links.

Wow, less than half the price of the Weber.

Not the solid quality of the weber, but an affordable venture into the Dark Side Cool

I always thought it was mandatory to have a sausage when you go to Bunnings.

Kinda like a gold coin donation entry fee thingy. Undecided

And that tempting waft of BBQ onions in the air makes it difficult to resist sometimes

Will try some chicken breast for the next cook.

We have a Weber BabyQ in the caravan because of it's size a versatility but I have always said that they are not the be all to end all of BBQ's.

This is my Everdure that we had for our last van and which now gets used at home at least three times a week, It was half the price of the Weber when I bought it.

I got a Baby Q 1200 for Chrissy and just waiting to fire it up for the first time. Need to get a few accessories before I'm entirely happy with the set up.

Cheers
