Cooking and or baking.

Just checked Weber site again @Winnie. Yeah mate prices are shown there. I was checking my local Weber Specialist website with no pricing.

So the one I've got my eyes on is listed at $469, stand $219 and cover $60 totalling $748. Total $748 but with my $150 Christmas cash thats $598 out of my pocket.

Considering I spent around $300 on a cheapy 4-burner hooded bbq 10 years ago that has inconsistent heat across the plates and I have never been happy with, I can justify that for a product that rates 9.2 from online reviews and have never heard bad things from those that own them.

Let me just throw a spanner in the works and offer an alternative to the Weber. 20% off at Barecues Galore at the mo.

The one to look at as a comparison to the middle Weber would be the twin grill Ziggy. We've got the smallest one equivalent to the BabyQ, can cook properly with lid up or down. Use it as a stove, i.e. boil wqter, use saucepans with use of a trivet. So can grill on one side whilst boiling veggies or whatever on the other. Nice bit of kit and well made.

Yeah after the weber 2000 or the middle one,, gave our SS 6 burner to my son Daniel.
Those Ziggy looked good value,IMO

Thanks mate. Just been down to barbeques galore to have a look and am reasonably impressed. 2 burner vs weber single. More sturdy side trays than the weber.

Can the weber cook lid up like a traditional bbq or do they not get enough heat in the plate to cook like that? Seriously, talking to a ziggy salesman would make you think the weber is a dud. Similarly talking to a weber salesman the ziggy is a heap of junk!
Seriously confused now.

Weber and ziggy people tell me pros and cons of yours? Thanks Clunk for your advice.

I prefer traditional caramelised meat off either a gas or charcoal bbq, although I do enjoy smoked meat. Years ago when the weber charcoal kettle was all the rage my parents had one (and still do). I enjoyed the food out of it but couldnt understand the ravings that were going on about it at the time. Nice, yes. Mindblowing, not to me.

Am starting to think weber may not be the way forward for me. Hmmm yes I think a good bottom heat bbq is what I'm after unless someone can make me see the light.

We went with the smaller portable Ziggy for the following reasons.

1. Higher heat output, thus being able to grill with the lid up.
2. Having a trivet, enables us to boil water etc. So now we don't need to take a stove as well, which we would need to do with. Weber.
3. The lid rolls right back under the bottom making it a bit smaller than the Weber BabyQ.
Lid and grill plate can be locked into place for transport.
4. Already has a thermostat fitted.
5. Can roast, bake, grill and smoke.
6. I think it's a little more versatile.

We spent quite a while trying to decide which one to get. Up until the 4WD and Adventure show, we were all set to get the Q but the guys at the Weber stand were quite rude when I asked them why I should buy a Weber over a Ziggy...... So they lost a sale, no doubt no biggy for them.

Cheers mate.

Well I trotted off down to the local weber specialist today to speak to someone who really knows them and get some good advice. Previously just been into BCF to look at the standard Q range. I really wanted to know the ins-and-outs of them and I hadn't made any firm decision yet on what I was going to buy, but I was buying something, just had to be convinced. Anyway I walk in and there's one other customer in there with a salesman. I walk straight up to the mid-sized Q on display and start checking it out. I'm looking, looking, looking. And I'm looking, looking, looking. I look over to the two other salesmen behind the counter and they're taking no notice of me. So I walk around the shop looking, looking, looking. Look back at the counter and they're still there doing not much as far as I could tell. I look around the shop a bit longer and then I walk towards the door. "We'll be right with you!" I hear behind me. But too late, you lost me.

Anyway back to Barbeques Galore to have another look at the Ziggy, and this time I was comfortable in committing to the purchase. Have just set it up now can't wait to fire it up soon!

Thanks for your advice Clunky!

Much better choice IMO Plassy.

I’ve had my Webber Q for around 10 years and never had an issue or stuffed any roasts/meals up...Bullet proof I reckon...but it’s outdated tech now I think, and as Clunk pointed out above, the Zigg shits all over it so I know what I’m getting next

Btw, I cleaned my Webber once or twice in that time I had it on this blokes advice and the flavours were just brilliant
