Going BBQ shopping this evening. Any ideas on where I can get a decent, medium sized stainless BBQ in Calgary?

Do I need a rotisserie?

Definitely needs to have the upper grill for keeping things warm.

Do BBQs have built in 'smoke' holders? (for adding cedar, and hickory smoke etc...

Do new BBQs have the lava rocks in them to retain heat still, or should I just get a plain grill?

Looking to spend around $200-250

With that budget the only place you'll find what you're looking for is off the back of a truck, or your neighbors backyard.

With a $200-250 budget, you have limited options.

- Wal-Mart
- Home Depot
- Kijiji

if its just you and sometimes you and a friend, get a WeberQ. Nice quality, portable grill. goes camping with you, and can serve as a light duty bbq as well

This is exactly the type of BBQ you want to avoid

Got the Signet 70 on an impulse buy. More than I wanted to spend, but after using it tonight, I am super happy with the purchase. Cast iron grill is the sh*t

525 taxes in.

They throw in a free set of tongs, bbq cover, beer can chicken accessory, brush, and vegetable tray.

EDIT: whoever suggested BBQ Galore Thanks! :)
