GOOD BBQ – BAD BBQ – CHEAP BBQ?

HI, there is never a good BBQ or a bad BBQ as it depends on what you want and how much you want to spend. Now remember years ago when you went and bought your BBQ? Yes it would have been expensive, made in Australia, no hood and a timber trolley costing $700-$800.00 or so…………………………………………………………………………………………….

B….U….T it was good value for money, made stronger, hotter and better.

Now, the BBQ's of today have lights, rotisseries, infra red grills, module units and the list goes on…are they good value for money? That depends on you, I would suggest that if you want a BBQ for $100 – $200 don't expect it to last longer than a year. My own philosophy has always been to buy a decent BBQ at a decent price, it will last you a decent time and will give you a decent result. So the saying is always the same..

YOU ONLY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. so don't expect too much from cheap BBQ's!!
