With the cost of Gas and Electric going up and up,could this mean alot more of us cooking outside on a BQ just with coal or wood, it can be done very easy and with a tent etc it could be done all year round,a member of our family who is well off done that for years when living in Southend now moved to the USA and is still doing it. He swears that the food is better tasting and it is just a betterway of living.What do you think about it?,and will you try it? or are you already doing in? You can cook any food on a BQ the same way as you do on Gas,and the cost is alot less to.Just adding to that mywife and myself when myleg is better,going to get a tent from BQ very nice one for two up there at £99 less for us midweek with our BQ card, and taking a BQ withus the kind you only use once and then put in the dustbin and just jump in the car and off for the day if it rains we have the easy put up tent.

my neighbour says the same, they barbecue a lot.
a few years back some south africans visited and insisted on a barbecue at least once during their stay.
problem was that they visited in february, didn't put them off though.

We often cook the Christmas turkey in the covered charcoal BBQ, it leaves the kitchen free for all the other stuff.

Disposable B-B-Qs?
No doubt Vic, you will have your wily ways of operation, but here in our leafy-urbanity they are the bane of the public spaces.
They are sold in all the local grocers' shops, much public money is expended on sign-age forbidding their use in the parks. Yet, on a Summers day the park is dotted with invisible teepees with cooking smoke curling up to the heavens. Each dewy morning can be seen square after square of blackened ruined grass.
Perhaps I should suggest that piles of house-bricks be left about? mmmm? poor windows. Maybe a scattering of tree-trunk slabs?
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
