£65 for a 10Kg fibreglass bottle at Homebase, you can probably get the steel bottles cheaper elsewhere (but the glass ones are so much lighter to move around!) - http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=110&storeId=10151&partNumber=115611

:y

.. And the last gas cylinder I bought was about £30 for 15kg butane, IIRC.

I hasten to add I didn't buy it for the barbecue ~~but for filling my camping gaz cylinder~~. :-X

+1

even charcoal fire must be slow , otherwise you will be eating ~~organic~~ coal ;D
Title: Re: Its That Time of year again
Post by: cem_devecioglu on 17 March 2012, 21:33:11: I recommend you try this method (patience required) :y

meat, milk butter, salt, onions, tomato, garlic,and some veggies you llke.. you need to wait 1.5-2 hours depending on the coal fire

ps: forget the language just watch..
Title: Re: Its That Time of year again
Post by: TheBoy on 17 March 2012, 21:35:43: I have a charcoal one and a gas one. Without doubt, charcoal is by far the best for flavour by a country mile. Gas one is more "on and off-able"

Carb cleaner works for lighting charcoal, if firelighters fail, but proceed with caution!!
Title: Re: Its That Time of year again
Post by: cem_devecioglu on 17 March 2012, 21:37:43: I fire some wood sticks (very tiny) than use bigger woods than add charcoal slowly and increase the fire.. :y
