so welcome to the inaugural roberts london barbecue got myself a new toy fancy new barbecue
a weber master touch gps e5755 in black now i love bbq but i've never needed to cook it that much
might have the odd barbecue in the summer on my roof i've got a little barbecue burger sausages
that sort of thing nothing fancy because here in london you're never too far away from a barbecue
you get a lot of paperwork that's what i'm looking for the assembly guide
if i fancy some pulled pork there's a guy that does amazing pulled pork he barbecues all
saturday night he's ready for sunday mornings on brick lane all summer long every festival
and market someone's barbecuing burgers and then at the end of summer carnival
the smell of the smell of barbecue alone at carnival can get you through the whole of winter i always get
some jerk chicken it's phenomenal but i'm missing all that so last summer 2020 i thought i'll invest
in my own barbecue sold out everywhere you want garden furniture barbecues or free
weights forget about it so i put myself on the email list when they got stock i think i got an
email sometime in winter the moment had passed i've got another one in february you would not
believe how hard it is to buy barbecues or how much they cost um see i got an email in february
that they've restocked i looked at the email i think it was a saturday morning i looked at
i clicked on the weber store they had stock but there's a lot of choice you could buy
everything from a portable one for under a hundred pounds to industrial ones for nearly two thousand
it's a considered purchase i thought i'd look at this later went to work looked at it that evening
sold out sold outside they told out barbecues in a day in the middle of winter in february
pent up demand for barbecues I'm not the only nutter looking at barbecues
in february what is it the kids the cool kids when they're buying train the latest trainers
sneakers if you're american the weber barbecue drop i was waiting for weber barbecues to drop
and um forget supreme so um i got another email in march early march i was on it this time
and um in the end i got it for i picked a model and i got it through john lewis best deal in
town on that day shout out to john lewis never knowingly undersold is that there is that their
tagline it's someone's tagline or i' just made it up anyway got the barbecue from john Lewis
300 quid for this model yeah i know i thought a good barbecue would cost if you ask me how much a
good barbecue is i guess portable ones are a few quid good one to be 50 quid the rolls-royce bbq's
100 quid 120 if you want it gold-plated forget it they're hundreds of pounds i think i've got a mid
range in this series for 300. i think you can spend over 500 um top of the range ones cost
around 2 000. um so 300 pound on a barbecue so there's going to be a lot of bbq videos this
thing needs to generate some revenue and then a couple of hundred quid on accessories from amazon
so i've got the bbq we're going to unbox that set it up we might have a barbecue i'm hoping to
barbecue some burgers or something simple today i bought this at the start of march it's now the
first weekend of april bank holiday weekend i've got to wait for the bank on the weekend one-on-one
time two it might be a little bit warmer longer days now um they're predicting snow so
if it doesn't snow we'll have a little barbecue but I'm definitely going to build it so barbecue
i've got charcoal um a couple of different types of charcoal fire lighters and to get
we've got here natural fire lighters 200 of them planning on having a lot of barbecues um
i've got some later in the summer obviously right now i'm just gonna keep it simple with
burgers and sausages and whatnot but i'd like to do some pulled pork i'm missing pulled pork
maybe some jerk chicken maybe some apparently you can do pizzas in these and make a good pizza oven
but for the so a lot of this is for later on when i'm getting a bit more um advanced
um so what do we have charcoal rails because i'm not sure what basket's coming there i have
got a wireless dual pro meat and bbq thermometer therm pro cook like a pro that's what we need
500 foot range so that is for doing the pulled pork and more complicated things um i've got that
i've got a weber temperature probe i don't know why i need two temperature probes weber drip trays
what's this the grill brush for cleaning the grill
this is a weber rapid fire chimney for starting the fire getting the get we're getting the fire

okay it's done do i think it's done assembling a barbecue basic dude stuff or it would be
i nearly lost a finger that finger broke a camera in the process and um
you're now on a g7x mark one the mark two is finished and i've got that bit left over
it's definitely part of the barbecue it's got an image of the bbq in it but um

you want to be have you had far to travel no you haven't left the spot great because i'm
going to take you on a culinary adventure let's explore the weber master touch premium series
for grilling roasting and smoking the new master touch premium makes it easy the legendary weber
kettle has being reinvented the master touch premium charcoal bbq can sear the perfect steak
roast the whole beer chicken and easily transform into a smoker for smoking low and slow ribs or
brisket with a 10 year warranty limited warranty and a wealth of recipe inspirations provided

food priceless oh the barbecue 313 pounds including tax but if you take it today I'll let you have it for 300.
so this model comes with the upgraded grille with flip up edges and a removable centerpiece
also some accessories came with it two weber coal baskets and a drip tray a removable drip tray
then got the grill for the coals and below that the vent system
so with this lever here you can easily adjust the ventilation settings
from grilling to smoking and also use it to remove any ash into the ash catcher bowl
also provided a free plastic basket if you know what that does you let me know
okay let's go and fire it up and burn some burgers

right let me tuck into these keep warm next to the barbecue this is bank holiday weekend
spring snow on route right I'll see you at the next barbecue hopefully it'd be warmer Toodles
