C’mon, the sun is shining and the BBQs are out!
What you using and what’s cookin’.... Outdoor kitchen/shed?
To kick-off, I use the COBB BBQ/Oven. Last couple of days:
chicken thighs, curry, more chicken and sweet potato wedges!

That's a fancy BBQ - ideal size.

The COBB is brilliant, versatile and uses very few briquettes. Can slow cook and smoke too and hugely portable :-)

I assume the heat's contained as you've got it in a plastic trugg tub ?

We've an old cast iron Kettle BBQ that refuses to die. Like below:-

Sorry, but I'm not going to engage on this thread because I'm just not in the same league as you FF. I'd just embarrass myself.

I've got a scabby old kettle BBQ of dubious vintage, and cooking burgers from Iceland is about my limit in the culinary stakes. It will though be getting it's first airing of the year later on today.

Need a new one, might get a traditional one as I'm not paying for a gas one .
Didn't use our BBQ once last yr

I've bought and scrapped so many BBQs over the years. Started with good intentions, a proper clean as soon as it's safe and all that. Then the next time it's "I'll do it tomorrow", time after that "oh it's raining, I'll put it in the garage". Pretty soon a rusting mess.

I just don't have the discipline to look after a BBQ, though strangely I'm very fussy about maintenance of my bikes 🤷‍♂️

I have 3 Weber bbqs, 1 gas 2 charcoal.
The largest is the gas

The smallest is the portable charcoal we use to take on holiday but is also great if your not cooking much

I found I was using the charcoal one more than the gas and decided to buy a larger one

 

[jayonabike]

I do love a bbq, I’m thinking of going larger again with a charcoal bbq

 

[CanucksTraveller]

Nothing special I'm afraid, I just literally wanted a basic metal box to hold charcoal and a grate above it to hold meat, so this ticked those boxes. I think it was 15 pounds from Wilko 2 years ago.

My favourite thing on a barbecue is just some chicken done in a basic marinade for a few hours: Olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano and salt takes you straight to Rhodes. Sesame oil, garlic, chilli paste, soy sauce and spring onions for a korean taste.
Small one insists on burgers and sausages.

Ours is about knackered after 15yrs, a big combination Chiminea/Barbeque in cast iron so it just gets used as a fire now.

Yep, reasonably, the top half is hot, tge lower half is cool enough to carry it about. the trugg just keeps the breeze off.

Hey! Like cycling, it’s not about the BBQ! If you cook it outside and enjoy it, who cares!
