Yeah takes all of 30 seconds to change a gas bottle over.
I always have a spare full gas bottle sitting there ready to go.

Yes, I should have a second one, this bottle sits behind the weber q excess fat seems to drip directly on the valve.
I haven't got all second mate.

That's pretty much what I have always thought - but everyone who has one seems to love the things, so I figure I should at least give it a shot.... Found a weber "with accessories" (dunno what haha) for $50 on gumtree so figured I'd give it a crack..
If I decide it's not for me, it's only $50 down the drain if I can't move it on - i've blown that hundreds of times over on stupid shit in the past
Their a prick to start and cook slow but can't be beaten for cooking shit cuts of meat. Best roasts going, plus the whole neighborhood smells that badboy grilling all arvo. Makes the other wives jealous and everyone knows thats the quickest way to banging Mrs Hottie two doors down and at the end of the day thats the only reason we do anything, right?
I have no doubt they taste great. I used to have a rotisserie for my last BBQ. Meat tasted great but was a nightmare to use. I just use the slow cooker now. Throw roast in a forget about it until dinner time.
Hard to beat the slow cooker for ease of use and making cheap cuts of meat taste awesome.
Would probably use something like a webber on a weekend but day to day meals not really practical.
I got a knock off weber from kmart for $48 bucks usually do two roasts on a sunday, if its on by 2 in the arvo its ready by 6-7 & I got enough meat for sunday dinner and mon an tues linch.
Agree on the slow cooker. I rate that bad boy as well.

it come up a treat. i marinated for 6 hours then basted while cooking. i cooked it direct for a bit then indirect for about 30 mins and quickly seared it a bit more before serving.

loving the weber so far.. still getting used to doing the basics on it but so far:
last week cooked up some roo fillets for my dinner, came out perfect.. did steaks, eggs, bacon and onions for steak sandwiches on Saturday, a mini lamb roast on Sunday (temp was too high.. outside was perfect but inside a little too rare - still tasted awesome) and tonight did a couple eye fillets for dinner..
the chimney starter was a good purchase - makes life real easy. love the Smokey flavour of meat off the weber, especially with a good seasoning of garlic pepper..
Doing another lamb roast next a weekend, thinking I might get some woodchips to smoke it up a bit more - any recommendations?
this weber was about the best $50 I've ever spent

Mate used ours today. We use it often never had an issue to light it, takes less than a minute.
1) get about 4 fire starters. I use cheap home brand ones and place into BBQ coal grill
2) light starters and pile char coal on top.
3) walk away and do something else for 30 minutes, don't even look at it again.
4) place meat on BBQ, cook and enjoy.
Pork ribs are unbelievable done in the weber, have a nice gas BBQ and have not used it in over a year.
This man knows the deal!!! But id get a chimney stater over fire lighters, Best $30 you will spend

Agree with you there on the chimney starter.. that thing is awesome! Although I throw a couple of fire starters under the chimney starter to get it going since i don't have much laying around to use for kindling
I've been using heatbeads but mate of mine reckons that "proper" charcoal is the way to go ... others thoughts?
