Ahhhhhh.  This is a bit like the Holden v Ford discussion.  Seen this get quite heated on forums/Facebook at times but I dont think there is a right or wrong answer.

I have the Weber and can cook anything I want on it.  Others will say the same about the Ziggy.  I have bought genuine Weber products to go with it that I use all the time.  The half solid plate, convection trays, trivet, frying pan and lidded casserole dish.  Also have an assortment of loaf pans, trays and pie dishes for it.

I dont know the answer as to what is the better of the two but happy with the Weber.

One thing that does look good on the Ziggy as opposed to the Weber to me is the way the lid folds right over and down the side out of the way.

Dave, I thought Rick had a Jumbuck??

As Dave said, if you get the Weber though get the high domed one with the thermometer.  Only about $20 difference in price but you will need to go to a Weber Specialist Shop

Regardless, any outdoor cooking is fun.  ;D

Jumbucks are no longer available.

Seeing as you are comparing Weber to Z & B have you thought about any other alternatives?
Some while back in a similar quandary I finally selected the Everdure Neo Buddy which has a slightly lager cooking area, a higher lid with thermometer and plenty of heat regulation. The only addition I made was a cast iron cook plate as an alternative to the grill.
Very happy with it.
Regarding burners which do not seem to be generating sufficient heat, it can be the gas regulator. Most can be adjusted from what may have been a too low a pressure setting when manufactured.

Just on the heat of the Ziggy, I think if people are only getting that low temp then there is definitely something is wrong.  I think Michael has hit the nail on the head with the regulator.  I don’t know enough to be able to comment on gas.  It is always something I have shied away from mucking with.

I have camped near people with Ziggys and have seen some very nice meals come out of them.  Particularly roast dinners so they can and should get up to temperature.

I'm with you Huey. Baby Q all the way. l am still learning how to use it properly, but love the speed at which it cooks with the lid closed. l wish l had the option of using a full flat plate though, unfortunately.

Thanks for the link Derek. I have spoken to this company regarding a full plate and they were out of stock when l rang. They were getting more in within a month or so but during that time, l spoke with a webber salesman who informed me that webber don't make one themselves because they could "trap" too much heat and actually warp the bbq itself.  The salesman also said using one and warping it voided any warranty and was easily detected. Hence my fear of getting one.

We got a plate from Also...had to bend the handles up a bit to let the lid close...plus we bought a stack of alfoil trays from a $2 shop which we used to cook chicken in and other veggies...just as good as Weber brand and very cheap

this week Aldi  about $15
