Preparation is Key...
Published on Monday 16th April 2007

Living with the UK weather you sometimes just have to seize the moment. It changes so often that if you aren’t prepared for a BBQ the very day that the heat wave hits, you might have missed the boat because before you’ve had the time to hop in your car and make it to the shops, the weather has turned and the BBQ you’d planned is no more.

If the BBQ you’ve had for the last 5 years has finally had it and you hadn’t got yourself a new one in time for the early taste of summer we had this weekend (and last) then you’ll have kicked yourself because needless to say the warm weather isn’t supposed to last. But be prepared for the next spell and get yourself a new BBQ pronto or you’ll miss the boat all over again.

For great BBQs there is just one name to know: Weber. Those in the know swear by the brand - "the 'kettle' shape and the lid design mean you can use them like a smoky oven, cooking food slowly rather than burning it on raging flames". So they’re functional, high quality and, they look great.

Heals has an excellent selection of BBQs (with lots from Weber) whatever your needs. Whether you’re after a traditional coal BBQ, a gas one (far easier and quicker to use if you’re not one for messing around with charcoal or want to chuck on some chicken after work) or a portable one – great for picnics, the beach or a small balcony or terrace.
