LOL I wrote the same but deleted before posting as I thought I was being silly :D Title: Re: gas barbeque's Post by: leethefish on March 05, 2012, 07:43:33 PM Red or black. lol that's one way i suppose mate ....and get one of them disposable ones if i lose .....Title: Re: gas barbeque's Post by: leethefish on March 05, 2012, 07:50:20 PM I had one very similar a couple of years ago (when I was married, sniff). I ended up ditching it and favouring my £40/50 charcoal burner jobby. Better taste and much much easier to clean up after. Only plus for me was that the gas heats up a lot quicker. yea thought it all mate Have you not thought about just building a brick BBQ instead? but in the summer months ill come home from work Mrs will do a salad and ill chuck a couple of steaks/chicken fillets or whatever and its done in ten Min's ...too much messing about with charcoal on a daily basis anyway!
