Thoughts on the Everdure Hub by Heston Blumenthal?

[Steve R.]

I try to be open minded and understanding, but I cringe when I hear that, Huskee. The second worse usage of that word is when someone calls a cookout a barbecue. *steps down off the soap box*

[Old Glory]

That was my thought. Thin painted sheet metal that will rust in 6 months.

Toss a shrimp on the barbie... ;«)

[Huskee]

Does anyone else shudder when people refer to "a barbecue" as a noun, referring to the grill/smoker? I hate that.

And I think Weber had the push button gas charcoal igniter longer. Maybe not in England.

[Ahumadora]

What got me was the sound of how thin n flimsy that sheetmetal sounded when dumping the bag of charcoal on. A charcoal chimney would be a lot more reliable than a push button ignitor oafter 2 years use.

Well, hmmm. If I want to pile all the charcoal on the grate and push a button to start it, and leave the lid off, I can already do that on my Weber Performer Deluxe. For a heck of a lot less money!

There's one 1* review on WS of the Everdure Hub by Heston Blumenthal.

There is a cover they sell for another additional $60.

On the plus side, it has a pretty cool rotisserie... But I think not. not for $2K.

You could get a Good One Open Range for that, and rig a rotisserie for it.

[Old Glory]

It's pretty but I don't think it would look that nice after a year outdoors. I never heard of these. Open face no cover so low and slow is out.
