Looking at getting a lakeside bbq my 15 quid pot one is useless for what i want
Im into my bbqing at home and have a Weber 57 kettle and smokey mountain but looking for any user feed back on either the Smokey jo or the Go anywhere to use when fishing

I liked the smokey Jo, but found it a bit bulky for just myself, and I got an extension to turn it into a mini smokey mountain for family trips.
I've now got a cheap and cheerful portable with lid, think it was £7.50 for when I want to use charcoal, but use the cadac safari more.
The cobb grills look decent but expensive and too bulky for me

£12.50p
and they are brilliant
as you know a BBQ is rubbish without a lid on anything but a windless day cant see why anyone would pay silly money for a BBQ that wont cook as well as this and it can carry your bag of charcoal inside to win win
LINKY POO
and drill a hole and buy one of these and for under 20 quid you got a brilliant BBQ with temp gauge

For me, it's the go anywhere.
Better vent access if you want to try and control temperatures. Two vents on the top to help control direction of air flow.
I think it's slightly better for indirect cooking.

I've got a Weber gbs at home and a go anywhere for on the bank camping etc..
It's a lot more than others but I'm a Weber fan boy and if your already familiar with them I'd go for it. been very pleased with mine I brought the carry bag as well and it's small enough to carry and pack away

That the one I've got, grab them late august/September for under a tenner. Just about big enough for a spatchcocked chicken if there's a couple of you going.
Not weber quality obviously but easy enough to keep it serviceable for a couple of years
I do miss the Jo and extension ring tho, beer can chicken on the bank is

must admit the fact you can get an extension to make it a mini WSM is appealing

It's a bloody good bit of kit, but value wise it seems poor value compared to the little portables. I think I paid £30 for the extension, which came with a water pan and grill (obviously not weber at that price). I did use it for low slow cooks at home, but I bough the extension just for the beer can chicken when out really, most portables and small grills don't have the height to do it.

I recently bought the mini Expert gas BBQ Grill. Yes a bit more of a pain to carry a small 5kg bottle of propane but this is a really good piece of kit for £60.
Fold away legs, top shelf, lid, easily cook for 3-4 people. Without doubt one of my best buys this year.

I've added a bucket of penrocs in the bottom pan so it's the best of both worlds 👍

Didn't notice any smell tbh mate. Just making the point you can add whatever rocks you want.

I had the charcoal version of this for 4 years just perfect in every way
sadly they stopped making it and the new version is bigger more of a square and to bulky

I definitely wouldn't take it along on short sessions Gerry with the propane bottle it does take up a bit of room, small stove every time, but I recently used it on a week long session back in June and it was absolutely spot on. Steaktastic! I even found a welly wipe doubled as a perfect cover 👍

Off topic I know but what bobbins are they? The colour reminds me of some old Fox ones
The steak looks like a Nintendo64 controller and looks delicious

I replaced my bbq at home to one that doesn't need rocks, you can't clean the things and no matter how long I burnt the things for they still stunk on a hot day, I was binning them after 2 uses

The steak was delicious actually the only depressing point was I had the game on between England and Scotland that night and suffered that lacklustre performance.
As for the bobbins, they aren't anything special just cheap fluro yellow green bobbins bought off ebay, think I paid about £30 for three posted, the guy who made them does various colours and always has some for sale.

I have used the penrocs before, tbh I'm not sure if they really add anything much but they aren't expensive so I thought I'd give it a go.
