Unfortunately, in these "green" days of "fast living" satans bum fuel on appropriately configured grills, where the fat and drippings drop onto hot "cross beams" where they can smoke and re-flavour the meat do a good job to maintain the flavour...
Sacrilege! You probably support the toothless crab sticks down Durbs way and eat quiche.
Have to agree with you re the ysterhout thing though. Can't beat it. If it rains you just make the fire in a wheelbarrow with four bricks in it to hold up the grid and trundle the thing in and out of the garage as the showers pass through.
