After not having had a bbq for 10 years we decided to buy a Baby Q Weber with a thermostat. I have got a brochure that lists all the accessories and I was wondering if you have any suggestions for the ‘must haves’. I would be grilling chicken sausages, chicken, fish and vegetables. Is a rotisserie recommended? Looking forward to your views.
Unlike Auckland, the evenings are rather cool here and we just never bothered replacing our bbq. However, with the possibility of a major earthquake at some stage we thought we’d better get our act together.

I longed for a pizza stone but could never find one that would fit in my little Breville Bench Top Oven. But when I had to replace the oven, it came with a pizza tray, one of those black non-stick ones riddled with holes. It's marvelous. I pop it in the oven while it's coming up to temp then slide my pizza onto it. Lovely crisp pizza, edges and bottom.

Thank you, Lorna. I had one of those many years ago. Will have to do some measuring.

Chris, the pizza tray I have measures 30cm in diameter. It has a very low ridge around the edge, about 2mm, making it easy to just slightly lift the edge of the pizza with the tip of a knife and slide it off onto a cutting board.
I had a quick look online and the size of 30cm seems to be hard to find; most were round about 33cm which wouldn't fit in my oven. Also, they all seem to be deeper than mine, at about 1.5cm. There are plenty of the right size without the holes and they, too, are1.5cm deep, but I think the holes ensure the whole base is crispy, not just the edges. The closest I could find were on TradeMe and also a different brand (Kate's Kitchen) at Mitre 10, both around the same price but, of course, the TradeMe one would have postage added unless you could pick up in Waitakere.

Thank you so much Lorna for having done all this research. I have a Mitre 10 close by and they have a pretty good selection of bakeware most times. Much appreciated.

Don't get a wire brush, the little bristles can fall off and end up on your food. Use aluminum foil or a wooden scraper to clean off your grates. As for a chimney, the weber ones last forever.
As far as accessories, it really depends what you're trying to do, but everyone needs to own a instant digital thermometer sych as https://onplanners.com/template/simple-monthly-budget-template

My digital thermometer is in constant use, testing a rotisserie chicken for doneness, making sure the water for my yoghurt is within the optimum parameters, and cheesemaking. If I could justify spending the required amount to buy a roast of pork, beef or lamb, no doubt it would be used then, too.

I'm planning to buy a new traeger grill for my backyard, and I've found a good source with the description of different options of such grills. But I'm still not completely sure which one is better for me. I've narrowed the circle up to Traeger TFB42LZBC and Traeger TFB30LZB. The last one I like because of its price, but I'm not sure if it's good enough. What do you think, guys? Did you have any experience with any of these models? May you tell me their advantages in usage?
