What kind of barbeque? I think a Weber with side burner will do okay in a weedy bottom if the top opens. :)

This is why I was asking what kind of anchor it was. I had a backyard-built plow anchor on Shift when we bought her, the proportions were all wrong and it held like a castoff barbecue.

If you think you may be possibly caught needing more secure footing, there are several recently introduced anchors that may serve you better; Rocna etc, but at considerably more cost. As others are pointing out, more weight means more security and the more chain in the rode, the better the anchor will perform. You might also consider installing a windlass as, unless you are a built like a windlass, manually hauling bigger anchors and more chain can be a real slog. à I used a 15 kg.
