Choo-choo

I've not got the experience to evaluate this as a BBQ, but it sure do look pretty:

Oh my god for that money I'd buy a Jambo and let the food be the talking point, or ask for a normal shaped one at a reduced price as the build quality looks very good.

Sounds silly, but the thing that did it for me was the sink area at the back. I realise you can't cook on a sink :lol:, but it showed the thought that had gone into it.

For £6,495.00 you would be lucky to get a Jambo at that price. I've seen the BBQ Mates train up close. If I could afford it, I would have one already.

We were chatting about this at lunchtime, and how such a beastie would work at a fair or country show. The shiny shiny train would certainly bring in the kids, the kids would bring in the mums and dads, and once the adults are there, it would be silly not to buy something. So the look of the thing is as important as the food it is producing, in that if people weren't persuaded to come over, you wouldn't have any customers.

(Note that this was shooting the breeze, none of us have any experience of commercial catering).
