As the title says really, looking at getting a BBQ this weekend and cant decide between the two options.
Also, if I was to go for Gas, where in Swindon supply gas and how much for?

Gas BBQ's are for pussies. Might aswell use the grill of a cooker. Get a real one.

We have had both down the years, but currently have a charcoal one.
I don't think it makes as much of a differencve to flavour as some claim - most of the flavour is imparted from marinades etc.
The beneift of gas ones for me is that you can get much bigger ones cheaper with hotplates/griddles on them, which are good for homemede burgers that might fall apart a bit, and being able to do fried eggs if you are making breakfast on it.

Charcoal. Gas isn't a proper BBQ.

Gas. Yes it's outdoor grilling and so not the same. But I use the gas BBQ so much compared to the old charcoal one.
There is a calor gas place up on gypsy lane. Can't help with cost depends on size and type, the first one is always fairly expensive due to the deposit needed on the canister. From then on in its refills. Only issue is this place is only open Mon to Fri.

Gas.
You can get bottles from Sleemans on Swindon Road, just up from the New Inn.

My Father in Law has a gas one, and he puts come kind of rocks in to give that charcoal effect?

Charcoal.
Gas just doesn't have the proper barbecue flavour for me.

Charcoal. Nothing beats the feeling of making fire, singeing your arm hairs and burning your food.  |

Charcoal.
Nice cold beer while trying to get the fire going. Yes it's more hassle, but its more manly. Gas is for wimps. You can't beat the smell from a charcoal bbq.
