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.

Geez, I am well and truly outnumbered here by the Toffs 

Not sure if this Jumbuck will allow me to bake in it, as on low setting, the temp stays around 200 degrees. ( maybe leave a gap in the lid?

I will experiment during these hot summer months.

Who remembers the old pommie comics? 

Too right there Seamus. Plenty of accessories to choose from.

http://www.weberbbq.com.au/Accessories.php

$60 for side tables and I got mine included 

I have to buy my connecting hose, where at least yours is supplied.

Time will tell whether I should have opened the purse strings a bit more 

The BabyQ is a quality product by the looks.

I'm a 180 degree man for just about everything, but I will soon see about the higher temp.

Seamus, you better fork out for the side tables, otherwise your xxxx gold's are gunna fall straight to the ground   

Had oysters kilpatrick, some Chicken spinach and pinenut sausages (for tomorrow's picnic) and a couple of filo parcels filled with chicken tenderloins, spinach, ricotta cheese, & mushrooms

Did the job for a very nice meal.

Seamus, all "Gifted" to help this Tough enjoy a little merriment in these tough times 

It's good to have a generous miner son $$$$$$$$

Now getting back to me Jumbuck, I'm in lurve 

Cooked some Chicken breast and a couple of steaks for dinner tonight 

Baked a fruit&nut gourmet cake afterwards and could not be happier 

The seasoned chicken is my signature award winning family dish and it exceeded my expectations.

A couple of screwdrivers under the lid allowed me to bake my gourmet cake @ 180 degrees and once again, a perfect dish.

Geez, I'm good. Just ask me 

I will put up some photos tomorrow to back up my bragging 

I soaked the sliced chicken breast in olive oil and rolled in a seasoned flour (whole meal plus vegeta stock powder)

Tried the same with one steak and it turned out OK.

The other steak was cooked with just a little seasoning.

The steaks were not too bad, but the chicken breast was very tender and moist

Used an oven bag for the leg. About 2hrs @ 200 degrees for the leg. A bit less for the veggies.

This thing will pay for itself on this holiday.

Our unit has a stovetop but no oven, so no going out for dinner when you can enjoy better food at home 

With the gas usage, I left it connected so it could have leaked a little 

Only have small servings Dr Shackles  , truly 

The leg was trimmed of most fat, sweet potato and potato baked with a little olive oil, and a Big serving of green mint peas.

And the cake is whole meal flour, dried fruit, banana, coconut, unsalted mixed nuts and low fat milk, and a naughty bit of milo 

Surely, Dr Shackles, You can't deny me a few of life's little luxuries 

Stand up for yourself Son. Stop being intimidated by your better half 

You could try tricking your good woman by suggesting the pork or lamb 

Enjoy your lunch. We are having vegemite sandwiches today 

Baked a King George Whiting this arvo 

No filleting, no scaling, just gutted and placed on foil to save cleaning the plate.

Ate straight from the foil. Yum bloody yum.

Baked a couple of small mackerel fish also. Most people throw them back because they are boney, but baked and the meat picked out they were OK.

They are nothing like your Mackerel up there.

Down here, these are not often kept.

Cindy had a lot of fun, catching about 20 of these. There wasn't much else around last night. I kept two for a taste and they were Ok.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_mackerel

King George is our Premier fish down here Derek.

My personal best is 48cm and I have seen a 65cm on a fishing forum.

The one I cooked today was 33cm (legal size 31cm)

Not much to catching them. You just gotta find them 

Tonight, I fired up the jumbuck for a late night snack of Brushetta (toasted olive oil bread) 

Did I tell youse, I'm in Lurve 

They do have a reputation for being the premier fish Seamus 

I caught and cooked a coral trout at Airlie Beach a few years ago. It did taste superb 

Now, getting back to my true love, Miss Jumbuck. I baked a few spuds and a delicious chicken parcel tonight.

Thanks for the advice.

First thought was " not weber overpriced accessories " , but @ $15 for ten, I will give them a go.

Your video didn't work on my iPad (sound only) but I viewed it on this link,

http://www.weberbbq.com.au/Videos.php

Still experimenting and enjoying the results 

Ducks nuts, I wholeheartedly agree with that 

It's healthy eating Dr Shackles, not a diet

Thought that you had Roast Munchkin 'till I read on   

The forum is light on with foodie fotos Seamus, so how about extracting the finger, and start clicking  away

So, Dr Derek has arrived on the scene to assist Dr Shackles 

Reasonably healthy food going in my gob I reckon

Even my roast beef was very, very lean. I can't remember what cut it was now, but first time using it.

Not sure if Bunnings have Sales.

The regular price is $129.

I later bought a gas hose and a reducer for about $30.

I can now use a portable gas canister or a 9kg or smaller gas bottle.

I still need to get the gas flame lower to get the temp down for baking.

Enjoyed some tender bbq'ed steak last night and then tried baking a cake.

It was ready in 1/2 hr and turned out looking something like a pudding 

By putting a mesh plate down lower to the flame, I can fit a 10" campoven inside it.

Bloody Nora 

Last nights roast lamb and this mornings paper

Bloody Nora once again 

They are following me.

Bbq'ed a few snags yesterday and will have a play again today.

This Sunbeam has a cord attached 

Cooks a nice steak and thick wedgies

Did a lean beef roast tonight using the weber foil tray and a couple of trivets.

Roasted to my perfection.

Pretty we'll fool proof these bbq's and that suits me 

I have had no problems with the GM 110 gas hose.

Can't help you out with your problem, but Google is  your friend 

When I bought my jumbuck in a country bunnings store, the staff couldn't help me with my hose selection.

Back in the city I was asking a staff member about the type of hose and they had these in stock.

Still love my jumbuck, but not using as much in the winter months.

A couple of nights ago, I did grill some frozen barramundi and once again cooked to perfection 

The weather is warming up, and the jumbuck is coming out to play more often now.

Had both sons over for dinner last night and the night before.

Pizzas using low sodium mission wraps as a base take only 3-4 minutes to cook on the pizza stone.

Baked 4 whole King George Whiting and served them with salads.

Tonight we enjoyed baked spuds cooked on the pizza stone which worked a treat.

Going back to the blocked gas hose, I did come across this problem a month ago. Not sure what caused it, but maybe something to do with starting heat beads on top of the gas burners 

I put my mouth over the gas inlet on the BBQ and did what the big bad wolf did 

It worked after that

Can't help but enjoy cooking outdoors with the jumbuck. No wonder people also rave on about their weber Q's.

What brand of BBQ is that Rolly? Looks similar but not the same as an Orion.

Was that $60 for the spit? I have an ozspit, so can't justify buying another one.

Aart, spot on about summer bbq'ing.

Have been trying a few things lately. First time doing beer can chicken.

Cooking these as I write.

Drumsticks were tender, but dry crispy skin.

Cake was easy. Might have to be my dec challenge entry.
