Go for the 57cm. The extra grill space doesn’t mean you have to fill it. It gives you greater adjustment for position of coal and smoking wood, relative to what you are cooking.

So that is nearly 50% larger than the 47cm. Will that not mean that I’ll use ~50% more charcoal?
No, you will have more grille space space if you want to cook over indirect heat.

What he said 
Yeah, it would only be that much extra if you wanted to cook over the whole surface area. You can still put a small fire in a small BBQ, and then you have more flexibility when it comes to direct vs indirect heating.
Ok, thanks guys.
I’m very much a novice when it comes to bbq cooking so I didn’t even think about the indirect heat thing.
That means this then

I would be more tempted by this (well, actually it’s what I have in grey)…
Reason being, once you get a taste for (or handle on) good BBQ, the one you chose would limit what you can do and could become obsolete.
Buy well, buy once.

We bought this one Paul from Wilco. It has an adjustable height coal tray. Been very pleased with it - works very well. I think @dom got one as well.
Used it for cold smoking bacon too

More than I’m prepared to pay for something that will probably be limited to half a dozen times a year, due to the climate here.
Mate, there are fucking satellites in orbit that are closer to me than a Wilkos and they don’t deliver to Shetland (I’ve tried before)
Also it’s huge, way too big for my purposes.
I have a Weber 57 next one I buy will be the Napoleon 57pro

Yep, good bit of kit for the money, if you Google around they sell the same one all over the place under different names.
Being able to raise and lower the fire pit with the handle is wonderful for controlling the temps

You mean to say that you don’t want to recommend something 6x the price, with half an acre of cooking surface or only obtainable via a four day overseas mission?
How bizarre.
