I don't really like them myself. Too much meat. Prefer fish on them. My son is really into them. He's just done one ( in the caravan), I've ended up cleaning the thing.
Any advice on bbq food, utensils BUT more importantly any advice on cleaning them please? ( not you Fraise)

( not you Fraise) The best advice I can give is that they’re a waste of time, money and effort and dunna bother👍🏻 Although the HMEEO house at the end of my street must like it as they do em all year round and also have this strange phenomenon of blacked out Range Rovers and BMW’s pulling up every 5 minutes. Just an observation mind.

Any advice on bbq food, utensils BUT more importantly any advice on cleaning them please? ( not you Fraise) Easiest way to clean them is to crank the heat up to max for 10 mins, then wire brush the grill. I’ve got a plastic scraper that gets all the rubbish off the sides of the box. I give it an annual going over and don’t think it needs more than that. Get everything out for a proper clean, but mainly to get the stuff off the sides of the box. Whole pineapple rolled in Demerara sugar and cinnamon is good. Bake it in tin foil then make syrup with the juice and some more sugar with plenty of rum 👌🏻

Surely, the only advice to give is don’t ever risk that again. Ever!

BBQ's are so overrated.
Get yourself a decent outdoor pizza oven instead, less messy and little danger of food poisoning......

On our first anniversary a few years ago, we invited friends over for food. We lost our tongs. My wife stood out in the snow, in a marchesa gown and barbecued steak and shrimp for 10 people using a pair of chopsticks.
I don’t admit it to her often, but she is a boss, my wife.

Just can't see the attraction of BBQs at all.It just seems to be something some people have to do when the sun comes out.By all means have a drink outside but eating food outside and being attacked by midges is not my thing. Each to their own I suppose.

3 (or 4 if its plural) letters that make me vomit.
I detest bbqs. The smell is horrid. Can't sit in the garden without someone trying to incinerate the carcass of some dead animal to the point of charcoal.
Give me the oven or grill any day.
Bring back the cucumber sandwich.

Cant be arsed with them, if you want to eat outside just do it in the oven, grill, on the ring and take it outside, then put the stuff in the dishwasher to get cleaned.

Hmmm...here's an idea. Let's have a nice meal. Perhaps invite a few friends over.
The only question is how to cook and where to eat the food. I mean there's a room in the house specifically designed for such an endeavour. In fact we paid squillions to have it fitted. I thank it's called "a kitchen".
Or, we can pretend that we're living in the woods, cooking our food over an open fire. Of course controlling the heat will be much more difficult. And we'll have to take all the equipment from the special room ("kitchen") outside. And bring it back in. And obviously eating standing up in the garden is nowhere near as comfortable as at what I like to call a table.
It's certainly a tricky one.

What a strange take
A BBQ (done well) is one of lifes finest things, a good burger or hot dog is fine (I can give or take a burger tbh), but chicken on the chargrill, belly pork, freshly made kebabs and more are amazing things cooked over the coals for taste
I've learned as I have gone along, from overcooking and cindering food as a young adult, to king of the grill nowadays - if the suns out, the BBQ is out, and I sit there all day with the telly outside (I have wired HDMI into my garden, telly bracket onto house - TV just whips off and on between use)
2 years ago I went to the darkside, invested in a large BBQ as a birthday present, its mixed gas one side and coals the other.
Cooking your food in the gas part - lid down - (chicken, pork, kebabs) slowly for a good 40 minsn, then finishing them off on the charcoal for flavour leaves them moist and juicy, with a crispy charred outer - its lush stuff.
Flatbreads, baps, salad - et viola. And beer, cold beer.

What a miserable bunch of bastards ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/kwfoKwtHI0jglJZ4qZf6.gif) Love a BBQ - sun's out, beer and wine are out, a few friends and the kids out, all engaged in good-old-fashioned conversation rather than staring at a screen - decent music on in the back ground - what's not to love? I make my own burgers and kebabs, marinade some chicken or fish overnight, a decent side salad and a bit more beer. One of my favouritist things ever.

Flatbreads, baps, salad - et viola. And beer, cold beer. How's the best way to clean them Rob Got to be honest, and as a purchaser of many a cheaper BBQ over the years, you get what you pay for - cheap steel grills tend to 1) bake grease onto them that is difficult/a pain to get off or 2) rust! On my gas side, I use a non stick metal tray or griddle, will use foil ideally so that as little mess is made as possible. That one stays fairly clean, the odd bit of grease is easily wiped away, the heat makes most of it dribble down to a collecting pot under the grill so easily removed and cleaned On the coals side, because its a decent BBQ, the grill is coated and quite easily cleaned. Any fat drips into the coals tray (on this one its like a hanging basket for the coals that just comes out to empty) After cooking I always give the grill a good metal brush/scrape with one of those BBQ cleaners from B&M, it comes off fairly easily Before cooking and after lighting I give it another scrub just to remove any dust or dirt, the fire does the rest! You can buy heat conductor matts to put over your grill for less mess, but you dont get the satisfying lines on your burger :-) This is pretty much my BBQ design (mines a tad bigger) - was a beast to put together! Dual BBQGet a new one of these each year! BBQ Cleaner 3 in 1Biggest stress was getting a gas bottle, with the right connector, but once sorted hire etc its £35 to refill a 6kg bottle, lasts 2 years (depending on use!) I ended up buying a gas firetable in the end as well, far more convenient for sitting out later on than lighting logs and everybody dying of smoke inhalation

I don't really like them myself. Too much meat. Prefer fish on them. My son is really into them. He's just done one ( in the caravan), I've ended up cleaning the thing. Any advice on bbq food, utensils BUT more importantly any advice on cleaning them please? ( not you Fraise) We love our BBQs John, (as you say) seafood can be spectacular when cooked over charcoal. For us, one of life's great pleasures is sitting with good company, in the open air, enjoying that smokiness flavour you can only achieve on a BBQ, with a few bottles of nice wine. This a regular of ours, all done on the grill ...
