Jamie Oliver Party Barrell was £200, now £50

Post by DuncanM »

At the weekend I went to homebase and noticed a huge Jamie Oliver Party Barrell Charcoal BBQ, reduced from £200 to £50. I thought this was a mistake and checked with customer services so I didn't get stung at the checkout.. but they said it had surprised the whole store when the prices came out while back and it's definitely correct.

Anyways, just thought I'd mention in case anyone wants one - which I personally believe are a fantastic price for the size (1.2m x35cm grilling space!) It doesn't offer any indirect cooking (which is almost expected here, but still!) :D

It's on a till stocks last offer:

To be fair - I think 50 quid is about the right price.

I can't think why Jamie continues to affiliate with lower end equipment. (£££££) His outdoor ovens are great but this kind of stuff will more often than not rust up over winter. Good for a use a few times summer.

Aah you see it's the additional £10.05p that makes the difference that's about how much JO's input was worth, renowned BBQer that he is. :D
