...so does the dog snap up morsels with its bum?
Harvey is probably a standby fuel source - no doubt the hose was removed from his bottom for the photo in order not to cause offence.

Wychcraft is brewed in the local town less than a mile from here - brewing aroma on good days is rather pleasant!

It's not unknown for Harvey to produce a few cubic feet of Weapons Grade methane from time to time ... but being a proper pedigree English Labrador ... he doesn't "expel" during social functions ... in any case he occasionally prefers the "silent but deadly" delivery method

Having been brought up on charcaol and wood, this weekend marked the conversion to satan's breath and a radiant burner equipped bbq.
Simply put, no mess no fuss!
PS: I'm not ditching the old faithful "hardstuff" variant, a few mods and will be a dedicated smoker.

What you really mean is that you decided to come out of the closet, Shirley?

I'd be very careful on that tack BEagle.

The meaning of this will become quite clear as a certain V-bomber novel becomes more widely read.

Since my tour in Cyprus 50 yrs. ago, and introduction to BBQ'ing, I have always BBQ 'ed on charcoal and have never considered gas and currently use a well used kettle type. However last w/e on a visit to a well known diy store I was rather taken by the shiny new gas BBQ's on display. Somewhat seduced by the 'special offers' and encouraged by SWMBO I purchased one. One hour to assemble, just in time to fire up for an early evening nosh of local sausages and rib-eye steak mit salad. ''Won't be long dear'' I cry, as I pour a glass of IPA. Assured the beast was up to temp. I placed the sausages and steaks on the grill. The first thing I noticed was no sizzle and no appetizing smoky aroma. After 40 mins on max heat the sausages still weren't very brown and the steak was just about cooked! We weren't impressed! Next day I returned it and got my money back!
Forgive me BEagle for I have sinned, but I have seen the error of my ways and never again will I be tempted to cook using 'the vile fuel made from the bottled breath of Satan's bottom...'

Coff you are an utter disgrace!

I am suprised the powers that be haven't removed the pictures you have posted. Whilst you have the right to make certain "lifestyle choices" I don't see why I should have to look at images of your lewd, and frankly morally bereft garden practices.

For god's sake man there is not a single lump of charcoal in sight. Get some decency about you and dare I say it, some self respect.

I am expecting the usual "live and let live" style of response from our Croc wearing members but I feel someone should take a stand against the publication of such acts of depravity.

Get a life, get off the gas.

Regards

ss

The best reply post I've ever had on PPRuNe ...

You sound like a fellow man of general mischief and mayhem ...

Goudie ...

I reckon your problem is the gas type ... or a dodgy regulator !

Say NO to Butane ... Propane is the ONLY fuel capable of delivering superior results

For the Hard of Hearing ... KNOW YOUR GAS !

Thanks for the offer of a conversion ride but I'll stick with what I know.
I did have a full tank of propane gas, however, having viewed your substantial looking piece of kit and my neighbour's Aussie model, I think I bought a cheap, tinny imitation, of the real thing which didn't build up enough heat. Caveat Emptor fits the bill.

Coff's right. I'm cooking herring on mine tonight. I hope it's not too hard, though.

Sounds good Courtney ... I think a nice bottle of chilled Orvieto would go down well with that

Charcoal

Coff is probably feeding Harvey the charcoal in - it worked in a respirator cannister so why not Harvey's bottom? So it's not an entirely charcoal-free BBQ zone!

Just a zone where an outed deviant places charcoal in a dog's Auspuff.

I remain outraged

Sounds like a few breaths of N20 might improve your outlook on life

Breathe deeply .....

Just a quick question for the Weber experts on here, what would you recommend for cooking for six people the Weber 46cm or the 56cm? Thanks.
