Cheapest Weber BBQ Chimner Starter

You know that the BBQ season is fully upon us when the big outdoor and DIY retail stores start stocking their BBQ ranges and this weekend saw B&Q really go to town.

We stocked up on the instant lighting charcoal and it also gave me a chance to have a look at some of this seasons new BBQ gadgets and gizmo’s, unfortunately there was not that much new stuff on the market, yet!

First up I had a look around the range of BBQ’s (dodging the gas ones of course!), and this new B&Q Bondi Charcoal Barbecue with trolley looks incredibly slick and even has a hot plate which is very handy indeed. The Boni Charcoal Barbecue with trolley is quite cheap and sells for £149.98.

A quite swish looking Ottawa Kettle Charcoal BarBeCue also looks very neat and tidy and has a very handy side table, something that it missing from our own kettle BBQ at home. The Ottowa Kettle Barbecue is oval in shape and only costs £89.98. Quite an affordable option and now I am converted to kettle BBQ’s one product I may have a look at myself once the sales start.

Before I converted over to a kettle BBQ I always wanted a half barrel Barbecue and this Edmonton Half Barrel Charcoal Barbecue looks very impressive and has the segregated sections which is very handy if you are cooking for vegetarians or need a coller area to rest your meat (so to speak!). I could not believe a BBQ of this size was only £69.98 cheap as chips!

I was gutted to see that B&Q no longer stocks the Oz coals in store, these were my favourite, instead is has Penbeads which are very similar but not quite as hot as the Oz Heat Beads, still, at only £4.99 the Penbeads BBQ Briquettes are good value for money.

One gadget that did catch my eye and which I used quite a lot  when we did the chicken up the bum recipe is the weber charcoal chimney starter. This essential piece of kit is great if you are having long and fun BBQ’s as you can keep topping up the charcoal without having to stop cooking.

The Weber Charcoal Chimney Starter costs on £15.98 (bargain!) and you light the top up charcoal in it and then when they have reached the right cooking temperature (white) then you pour it onto your existing BBQ! Genius!

As and when we spot more BBQ gadgets and gizmo’s, or better still, cheap BBQ accessories we will keep you posted.

For now though, go and start your griddles, it is now Summer after all!
