Barbecue grill — where and what to buy?

[welovesundaysatspace]

I wanna buy a barbecue grill for my terrace so I can invite people over for steaks and burgers. I honestly don’t have a clue what’s good; I hear people buy Weber grills but that they’re expensive. I don’t wanna break the bank since it’s something I’ll only do occasionally, but I’d still like to have something that’s decent. 
 

Any recommendations?

Not cheap but they last forever.

Thai watsadu has a weber knock off, black round kettle for 1250bht and another same design with a few more features for about 2000bht. I bought the cheaper one.

Yeah, check with your condo before you buy a grill, most prohibit cooking on your balcony, due to fire danger on the balcony above you

If you want cheap barbecue grill, try Big C.

150bht from the 'cheap' shops everywhere.

yeah, these clay pot grills are a popular item locally, sorta like a local version of a hibachi...trouble is ye can only fit a couple of items on the cooking area at a time...and no variable cooking height adjustment...not a problem I suppose if all you cook is some pork belly and pig offal...

You can get the recycled oil-drum type BBQs all over Thailand for under 1000 baht and they are huge and excellent for using wood/charcoal. I often cook chicken wings, burgers and pizzas in mine, just put the lid down to get an extra-smoky flavour. Very good value and effective. No need to spend more.

I love the clay bucket, and you could compliment that with a hibachi, and get the wood glowing in the bucket and scoop it into the hibachi.  There are also some small tabletop electric grills pretty cheap, that might be better for terrace.  I priced Thai beef tenderloin at foodland last week...1100 per Kg...it kind of looked like <deleted>, too, but likely ok.  Meat counter at Foodland looks more like some Soviet run ration ticket counter, than a great selection of quality meats from different countries famous for good beef, like it used to be.
