End of summer-discounts?

[grum]

Hi everyone,

Just registered here. I've been wanting to get into some proper BBQing/smoking/low 'n' slow cooking for a little while, but I've just moved house and been a bit skint.

I heard somewhere that places often do good discounts on BBQ stuff at the end of the summer - I was just wondering when do these normally kick in and what kind of discount might be on the cards?

I've seen the Weber 57cm Original One Touch here for £102.99 including delivery which is a bit cheaper than anyone else I've found. Just wondering if I might be able to pick one up cheaper any time soon.

Also, is it worth the extra to get the premium over the original?

Thanks!

Keep an eye out on your local garden centres, i kept popping in from beginning of August in mine and dropped lucky a few weeks ago when all the weber display models went 50% off.

I have the premium and held out till I could get one as I like the easy ash disposal pan, the better handle for damper control and the temp gauge but the standard one touch cooks just as well if you see a bargain.

Good luck in hunting

Right about now, our local B&Q are selling BBQ's off cheap, also if you want coal now would be a good time to buy lots.

You'll soon find that you can't just nip to the supermarket for coal if you run low until April or May

Your local Tesco Express has 8 bags Stretchie if your running short!

I'd presume he is referring to the link in the first post.

Thanks folks. Just realised I might look a bit spammy posting links to a retailer with my first post.

Hmmm.... Should I just bite the bullet and get the premium one from WoP? Decisions decisions.....

If i were you and you are able to, i would go for the premium. The convenience of the ash pan and lid therm (although it is a little innacurate) are worth it. Does the premium not come with a lid holder in the UK?

If you are able to I would try to get a hold of a Performer (even second hand). The lid holder, extra height, and the table space are invaluable.
