Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    Actually that sounds about right - might be “CBF’ed” if I plan to pack it up after each time.

    Regardless gas / charcoal, do you have any size recommendations? Do you think larger is always better for when you might need it?

      Depends a lot on how and what you cook, do you tend to make more for left overs? Multiple dishes, using it for entertaining etc.

      I think the baby Q is small even for two people personally. I think they are (and possibly the next size up?) are only single burners, which means you can’t do two zone cooking (lower indirect heat on one side, more direct on another).

      I use a 57cm kettle which does enough for us (2 adults, 2 kids). But can be annoying if I’m doing a low and slow cook on it and need another hotter fire to make something else at the same time.

        Hmm yeah, keep going between thinking the Baby is just what we need, and thinking it’s going to be too small.

        Any chance you have any knowledge on the Broil Kings? Been looking at the Broil King Porta Chef series.

          Sorry, I haven’t had any experience with them.

          There’s a store here in Hamilton (Aber Living) that has a Trademe account that often gets either ex-sample or display, damaged, damaged packaging BBQs. And they ship too.

          I have them saved as a favourite, they’ve had some decent deals pop up now and then. Might pay to watchlist them to see if a good deal comes up: clearanceninja

            Oh Sweet! Thank you for that. I’ll keep an eye out in the next couple of weeks. Even if I end up going with a Weber or Broil King, waiting out in the hopes of atleast something during Black Friday
