Same old shit.
I'm thinking of buying a bbq this weekend, don't know if expensive ones are worth the money.

They will probably last longer.
The cheapy steel ones are a waste of money as they go rusty

I made one out of cricks, and the shelf from a cooker.
A work of civil engineering genius.

Bricks.

I'm going to make a BBQ and a wood fired oven once the house is done

BBQ tip of the day
Find a Local joinery shop and purchase the off cuts and shavings to burn
Oak, Hickory & Cherry all add a distinct flavour to your BBQ

my mate sawed a big steel drum in half
And welded legs on one end and the pedestal from a swivel chair on the other. Lasted years.

You have to be careful with that. If there's any petrol left in it then it can explode.

This also works really well
Even better if you reatach the other half to act as a lid

I've had expensive ones, and i've used those disposables.
In the UK, I don't think the expensive BBQs are worth it in the UK, you can buy a _lot_ of disposables for the price of a proper one, they light a lot faster, and [voilin time] when you're on your own, you can have a BBQ for one/two.

A big one is great if you're having family/friend BBQs every week for 6 months of the year, but I wouldn't bother otherwise.

That's my thinking.
I don't see how I'll get £100-£400 of use out of a bbq, possibly better just to get a £20 to £30 one.

It's the cooking over charcoal bit that gives the flavour, not the barbecue itself.

Yep, but I'd want a lid and shelves at various heights.
That'll be enough.

As long as it has a flat cooking surface and not just a cheap wide metal grill it'll be OK
much less likely to burn/flame.

I always play the "If I won the lotto" game with Ma', which has some very realistic rules,
and we decided that i'd get a pizza-oven built instead.
