Ideally one which won't crack or rust away after a year
just buy a cheap one from B&q/garden centre, you'll use it a few times then it'll just sit in a corner unused anyway. So don't spend much.
I got one from E.bay years ago, has a sort of Aztec design on it and is cast iron. It also has a really good grill included and barbeques really well as the heat is reflected back. The chimney also has a baffle which allows some heat control. When finished with the BBQ-whack some wood on it, sit back & toast your feet on it. I have had mine nearly red hot & it hasn't shown any sign of cracking. Must be 8-10 years old now. It needs a drop of paint every now and then but that's not unusual.
put a coat on or go inside ?
I bought a medium sized one from local garden centre. I went for a clay one as they look lovely and adds a nice bit of heat and atmosphere to our bbqs on the patio. I paid around 50 notes .
I want one of these, but I'm struggling to justify spending any money on staying warm outside when it's boiling already and we are heading towards August.
