Barbeques, almost galore
Had my first serious look at barbeques for roasting today.
The first shop I went to (Barbeques Galore) had a wide selection from 2-burner jobs up to the 6+ burner cow-roasting ones. I came across a helpful assistant in the shop who seemed genuinely surprised and intrigued that you could roast coffee in a barbeque. Anyway, it appears that most burners are rated around the 15MJ mark, and so a 3-burner model seems the way to go. Rotisseries appear to be a bolt-on add-on at about $40 for the kit (excluding motor which I don’t need anyway).
A few come with side burners - which may be useful to try skillet roasting one of these days; but a ring burner sells for around $20 and so it’s no big deal. Standard roasting bay measurements appear to be around 65cm wide and 50cm deep (front to back).
Called in at another shop after that, but they seemed to be flogging only the higher-end, higher-priced brands. No thanks.
I’ll check out another shop or two over the coming week. Still no great rush.
