If anyone mentions BBQs, I shall ... I shall ... No - just please don't.

I would imagine last night's match in New York may have had more than a little influence on crew availability today......football matches where beer is involved have previously been cited by those in the know as a contributory factor!

That's not to say of course that said match, given the late kick off was not preceeded by food prepared outdoors over charcoal on a type of grill?

A minority of outdoor grills use LPG or even electricity to produce a similar result to charcoal.

As opposed to me who uses electricity to make food look like charcoal.

I am now wondering whether I should set myself yet another target, of moving and merging some various previous posts into a definitive 'barbeque' topic - perhaps 'on the lighter side', here on the Coffee Shop forum?
