Outback Meteor 4 Burner Gas BBQ Barbecue

Outback Meteor 4 Burner Gas BBQ Barbecue was £339.00 now £299.00
Our Meteor Hooded 4 Burner Gas BBQ Red Inc Gas Regulator has a great quality and new addition to the Outback range. This four cast iron burner comes with a side burner and draw this will both help you organise your BBQ and ensure you have enough room to cook lots of delicious food. Grill Cooking . The burner heats up the flame tamer underneath the grill, which in turn heats up the food on the grill. The natural food juices produced during cooking fall onto the hot lava rocks below and vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that unique barbecue flavour. Roasting Hood Cooking . Barbecues equipped with a roasting hood give the option of cooking with hood closed to form an oven for roasting food, such as joints of meat , whole chickens, etc. Gas and Regulator . We include a propane patio gas clip on gas regulator as standard with this stainless steel bbq and recommend that you use propane gas or patio gas to achieve the best barbecuing experience. However this barbecue can use either propane patio gas or butane LPG gas.. We recommend propane patio gas as it will supply gas all year round, even on cold winter days. Butane bottles however tend to supply sufficient gas during the summer, but its performance may well be reduced once temperatures drop below 10 degrees C. Please be aware that if you intend to use butane that a butane regulator is not supplied and we do not stock these items. Manufactured by Outback Barbecues.

Haskins reaches fundraising target to train puppy for Canine Partners

Friday, March 10th, 2017

Haskins Garden Centre in cheque presentation to Canine Partners (1)Haskins reaches fundraising target to train puppy for Canine Partners

The team working at Haskins Garden Centre in Roundstone has exceeded its fundraising target to pay for charity Canine Partners to train a new puppy.

Staff raised £6,564.00 for the charity over a two year period through fundraising initiatives at the centre. Canine Partners relies on public donations to assist people with physical disabilities by partnering them with assistance dogs. It costs the charity £5,000.00 to purchase a puppy and pay for training, equipment, toys, vet bills, insurance and transport.

Mel Howick, customer services team leader said: “The whole team has thoroughly enjoyed raising funds for Canine Partners. We are all huge dog fans here and it was great that so many customers backed our fundraising efforts too.

“We’re so proud that we’ve smashed our target and we now need to come up with a name for the new puppy.”

Jane Grant, corporate and community engagement manager for Canine Partners, said: “We are extremely grateful to Haskins Roundstone’s staff and customers for raising so much money for Canine Partners through their Wishing Well Appeal.

“They have raised enough to name one of our puppies and sponsor it through its first year of training with one of our volunteer puppy parents.

“We receive no government funding, so we rely on the generosity of supporters like Haskins in order to raise the money we need to continue transforming the lives of disabled people through our amazing dogs.

“Canine partners are trained to help with a range of everyday tasks, including opening doors, picking up dropped items, undressing a person and even unloading a washing machine. These skills help our dogs change lives by boosting disabled people’s independence and confidence.”

Haskins Garden Centres are located at Ferndown in Dorset, West End in Southampton and Roundstone and Snowhill in West Sussex.
