Well, that's what I expected until my son-in-law bought a gas bbq and we
tried it out...and you know what they say ? ... "Behind every successful man
stands...an amazed father-in-law" .... it was very impressive, in a number
of ways...it was easy to light, clean (-ish), quick to get to cooking
temperature and the fact that hot fat dripped onto something hot (a metal
plate in this case) it gave the grub a bbq flavour close enough...and no
running out of coals, firelighters, boy scouts, blowtorches, petrol,
fire-brigades etc ... all in all a successs. Budding Tim McGuires can
always have a bonfire after the bbq guests have drunk all your beer and gone
home...<g>
