Never bought one before and want to make sure I don’t make any schoolboy errors. What brands should I be looking at? Any features that are a must have?

If you have the budget look no further than Webber, its a one purchase for a lifetime brand they are that good.
We have an Outback and in my opinion, JC180 is absolutely spot on!
Ours looks ok and works ok(ish - only one sparker works but a tube along the back fills with gas and will start the others) but it’s definitely cheap in comparison to a Weber.
When this one packs up (and it will), it’ll be a Weber I buy next.
Love my Webber Q
We got a Weber genesis a couple of years ago to replace an outback one which literally disintegrated despite being under a cover for most of its life. The Weber is so much better, definitely worth the money.
Friends of mine have a Weber spirit and they would probably say something different however as even with the lid on they get huge flare ups where literally everything on it goes up in flames. This is despite de-greasing it regularly, so I don’t know what’s going on there.

Have a Weber Q as well as a Genesis 410 and the Q cools steak to perfection in minutes despite it being tiny and using camping gas canisters. Sits in the boot and ready to cook in minutes. The Genesis cooked for 25 people last night in about 20 mins. Sausages burgers steak and chicken. Incredible machine.
Thanks folks? Is this a decent one? Also, what do people use the side burners for and are they a worthwhile addition?

A 3 burner Weber is hard to beat
Just ordered the one in the link above. Thanks for the help folks.Originally Posted by demonloop
I'm looking at that now. Have you used it yet? Any thoughts? Seem to only be a couple on JL which is that, one for about 750 and another for 1.5k.
This is the one I'm comparing your one to

My father in law is trying to bully me into the 1.5k model but I know if I get that one every BBQ will be at ours and I 100% don't want that to happen! I really don't think the extra burner and being able to fry an egg or onions on the side is worth twice the price.
Everything you just said applied to my search! The BBQ took 1:30 ish to assemble and doing that helps you appreciate how well it is made and I can understand why people say they last so long. On going cleaning also looks very easy and every part can be replaced so easy to repair if something does go wrong. We have used it and it’s as easy to use as any gas bbq I imagine. More than big enough for our needs and the shelves are really useful.
Is it £200 extra for the storage section? Looks very similar other than that.

I’ve got the 3 burner version of the 1.5k one & it really is a great bit of kit. More substantial all over vs the spirit, but then again the genesis is twice the price.
If you do go the Genesis route, get the one with the doors on the cabinet. The open one is cheaper but you sit staring at the grease collection tray which is not a great view.
Have a look at wowbbq who often have some great discounts.
£105 for the BBQ cover. No wonder the ones with the free covers are the best sellers.
So probably just under £900 all in for the Sprit E315 and it's raining all next weekend and the Friday after according to BBC.
Seems a bit late in the day to be spending £900 and I might just keep an eye on deals over winter/spring instead.
I bought this for my bbq, had one for 4 years and replaced it this year. Put it on backwards so the brand it hidden & job done.
