17' Series What BBQ do you use??

[michelle menzel]

When we bought our van l went to BBQ's Galore with the intention to purchase a Weber Q. I came out with a Zeigler &Brown which is similar but a nicer colour. We made room for this in the front toolbox we fitted and carted it from Wentworth to Bourke along 700 odd kms of dirt road and didn't use it once! We did, however, use our U-Bute barby all the time...
Just wondering what everyone else carts around with them and where it's stored?

Cheers

Ah yes... Had a webber Q prior to the van, I don't think we have used it once with the basestation. Have a 2 burner cooker that we use all the time and camp ovens for other stuff. But have just bought a 500x500 BBQ from BCF that will be on a slider out of the front hatch that will have room for the webber behind . But I will convince her that we won't need the webber, I'm sure of it!!!

Got a weber Q early last year when away on a trip and use it all the time now. Roasts, BBQ's, pizza's, Baked Fish, breakfast and the list goes on!!!!! Main reason I fitted the ali box to the drawbar was for storing it

Microwave and hotplates only get used for boiling vegies or a kettle when unpowered.

Loved the weber so much we ditched the big home BBQ when we got backand bought a larger model for under the patio.

We have a baby q in the van and use it all the time - same as @dagree ... we ditched the home bbq and got a bigger q. Our q just sits on the floor in the van or in the back of the car

 

[Patons]

We bought a Ziggy for the van. Use it for breakfast lunch and dinner cooking when away. Everything from steaks to roasts and pizza etc

 

[crackacoldie]

We have a little gas mate hooded BBQ that get stored in the front book, use it quite often.

We use a Weber Q220 at home. Should have got the Family Q for when at home.
Looking at a Baby Q to take with us, but need to be sure will be used.

will be doing the same at home @dagree as soon as I come up with a cunning plan to dispose of the old BBQ

We bought a Webber Baby Q and use it regularly at home, permanently set up in the laundry by the back door so in 2 mins it's fired up and ready for BBQ, roasts etc, etc
We brought it with us on our current half circuit of Oz because we did not want to cook inside if we could help it, smell of BBQ is a bit pervasive and the smoke alarm.....
Used it nearly every day and cooked a full roast two days ago, perfect.
Store it in the tub of my BT50, easy set up and connects with an extension to the van gas external outlet.

We started out like @macca with the Q100 which wasn't quite big enough for a family of 4 now have the WeberQ220 which comes with us everywhere, gets used for 99% of meals when we are away unless its just an overnight stop where we tend to have something prepared that we can just heat up on the stove top, like @dagree said we too love our Weber so much we bought a family Q for under the patio at home.

We have the Baby Q, carried in the back of the truck. As we don't have a bayonet fitting we have to carry a gas bottle in the the van boot so it becomes a process to set up so more often than not we just use the single burner butane with a frying pan.

As for carrying stuff around that doesn't get used, we took our folding bikes when we did 3 months around WA. I hope they enjoyed the trip because they never left the back of the truck. :frusty:

Same as Dagree, we have a Baby Q we use at home and in the van whenever we cook meat, we just gave our 5 burner stainless steel jobby away and when our new house is finished we will buy a family Q, wish I had discovered them years ago.

Baby Q for us. Use it nearly every day, great for roasts, very versatile.

 

[Darrin]

Ziggy for us , you can cook anything with it and you dont have to cook with the lid down either . Impressive ,

Cheers

 

[Patto]

We have a Baby Q, and also an electric frypan we plug into the external power point.
We don't have the external gas bayonet, so I have to take one of the gas bottles off the front of the van each time we want to use, which is a bit of a pain.

 

[Flanders]

Baby Q, store it in a toolbox on the front. Have the brekky plate for eggs etc, great for the 4 of us. Weber Q means don't need anything else, as we can roast / bake etc.

I just took my fold up bikes to NT and all over SA for five weeks. I think they like it by the beach because they didnt come out either.

Weber Q220 here as well we use at home and on trips we carry it in the back of the ute. I would never get a oven in a van now because these are so versatile.
