Thoughts on the Everdure Hub by Heston Blumenthal?

Yeah, I’m not pimping for the grill. I see the appeal for folks who want a grill to entertain and look like something people might want to stand around. The rotisserie is kinda cool, but again, it’s for a particular person. An Arteflame would seem to have the same appeal.

Potkettleblack I do get that. I have a rotisserie for my Performer and while it cost a couple of hundred bucks the total package is still way cheaper and far more versatile than this thing.

[Potkettleblack]

Has a rotisserie, so I think I can go a bit longer and broader than just thin cuts.

[Murdy]

Could be worse, in some parts of Wisconsin a "barbecue" is a sloppy joe

I am so inviting BBQRapper and Huskee to my 4th of July Barbecue, where we will cook food on the BBQ

[JeffJ]

The charcoal chamber is awfully small for something that size. No lid? So basically you are limited to thin cuts of meat the cook quickly. I'll pass.

[Spinaker]

Much rather have a Hasty Bake or a LSG Charcoal Grill.

[Spinaker]

That is the first thing I noticed.

[Potkettleblack]

The rotisserie set up on that is pretty epic. That’s all I see going for it.

[Frozen Smoke]

Did someone say 2 grand for that? Yikes! I have a looong and varied MCS list but that thing will not make the cut.

[Sweaty Paul]

My MCS didn't even have the slightest tremor or tingle. Seems like a waste.

[Attjack]

I think I'll pass.

Steve R. I try to be open-minded too, but I still hate it. To me,"BBQ" is the food & the sauce. Not the event (although I can tolerate that) and certainly not the device! I also shudder when I see flyers at work "Join us for a lunchtime BBQ in the parking lot- hot dogs and chips, $3". I get that BBQ is a broad term, but to this camper BBQ is brisket and ribs, not a 5 min hot dog cook in a parking lot. ItsAllGoneToTheDogs I say "shop" but I suppose shop is something you *do*, not a place!

In England, if its in the back garden and it cooks things with fire it's a Barbecue. I loved living there, but some things are still super funny. Most people don't put their car in the garage, it's a tiny place with a roll up door where you store stuff. I could only get my car in by rolling the window down and pushing it from outside or I couldn't open the door to get out.... yet the place they take their car to get worked on is called a garage (sounds like Gair Ridge).

[Steve R.]

I think it's especially awesome that you lean over the thing to press the igniter button. What could possibly go wrong with that?
