I have to admit to presiding over my first gas 'BBQ' for a birthday party at the weekend 
. But in my defence it was to cook a whole Gloucester Old Spot and I don't think I could have got a whole Old Spot onto my trusty black orb. Pleased to report that gas-fired contraption has been returned to the hire company and normal service will be returned ASAP. Now where's those recipes for pork curry, pork stroganoff, pork stir fry, pork sandwiches, .........

Roly - Gloucester Old Spot is the fruit of the farm. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There’s Gloucester Old Spot kebabs, Gloucester Old Spot creole, Gloucester Old Spot gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple Gloucester Old Spot, lemon Gloucester Old Spot, coconut Gloucester Old Spot, pepper Gloucester Old Spot, Gloucester Old Spot curry, Gloucester Old Spot stroganoff, Gloucester Old Spot soup, Gloucester Old Spot stew, Gloucester Old Spot salad, Gloucester Old Spot and potatoes, Gloucester Old Spot burger, Gloucester Old Spot sandwich. That- that's about it.

My Mission Tally since 6th May (delayed start of play date) ... 8. Will be taking advantage of the HIGH this weekend to achieve 9 or 10 depending on Mrs C's preferences ...
Still on last years Tank (12 Kg) ... outstanding fuel consumption/burn rate
Weighed the Tank yesterday ... did a few Fuel Calculations ... still good for another 4/5 sessions with a sufficient Diversion Reserve factored in
Up the Gas Flight
Have a great weekend ...

The fact you only act according to the beat of Mrs C's drum says much about your level of manliness and subsequent use of bottled fuel.
I am ill. Been to the doctors, got a prescription and taking the tablets ill.
Despite this I have purchased a garden structure specifically to house the Black Orb of Muchness, driven a 120 mile round trip to collect it, erected (stand down the Gas Flight) it, and put it to use; twice!
I am great!!!
May I offer you some salad sir, with a suitable dressing?

SS ... Get well soon mate ...
Typical Charcoal Flight behaviour ... you need a garden "erection" to support your Black Orb Homage
PS. Recipe for successful/stress free 30+ marriage ... allow Mrs C to think ... etc. etc.

My marriage will be hitting the 24 year mark this Oct. Usual ups and downs of course.
With a mere 30+ mins of time served Coff I can't really take you seriously. Please feel free to advise once you hit the hour mark
Your use of the term HOMage is most revealing.

Roadster are you saying that she was a he for a while? Coincidence regarding the first and second digits of your username? 
Gas Flight have a spot on their ORBAT for you.

Unfortunately my trusty blackfellow has been in solitary confiment at the back of my garage this week - a team of Polski chapskis has been repainting the exterior rendering and woodwork of BEagle Towers and I let them use the front part of the garage to store their paint, equipment etc.
But they finished earlier this evening, so the beautiful black orb will be working for its living again tomorrow!
Re. the Polish painters, what a great crew! Fully accredited local firm who've put in 10-11 hours per day to do a brilliant job. Boss Kris wouldn't declare himself happy until 'his boys' had met his personal standards and attention to detail. So if anyone in British West Oxfordshire needs any painting, decorating, refurbishment, garden maintenance or landscaping done, drop me a PM. Incidentally, my neighbour and I had also asked a local British chap for a quote, but he didn't bother to reply to the e-mail querying whether his quote included VAT. Which pretty much says it all really.....

So tacky - and it's in the pretentious city suburbs too.
Summertown Villa - probably sold to a banker by now...for £7.75M+

Being qualified on both types - gas & charcoal - for the next 2 weeks I will be relegated to the disposable type for some CSAR BBQing on the beach. All washed down with a pint of Tribute

A bit of experimenting with a disposable BBQ a coupe of evenings back -worked well with a sheet of cooking foil over the food and folded down the sides made a respectable kettle BBQ for the cooking phase, removed for "browning". Six sausages wrapped in bacon, 2 large beef burgers and asparagus wrapped in foil - done to a turn. Happy BBQ-ing in this lovely weather but not much good for gliding, at least in Devon - no thermals at all yesterday.

Over the weekend, Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service has had to issue warnings about gas barbecues...
It seems that some gas-fags have been adding charcoal, the only true fuel, to their devices, causing dangerous fires.
It is not known whether they indulged in this activity in an attempt to conceal their orientation
, or whether they simply wanted to stop their food tasting of the vile breath of Satan's bottom....

Then they are idiots ...
Adding lava Rock is a perfectly acceptable/safe modification to a gas BBQ (I don't use it myself) ... adding charcoal is just numskull stupid.
BEagle ... I thought the general inhabitants of Oxfordshire were a bit better equipped "up top" than this episode would suggest
LJ ...
You'll be needing a Trappers Check Ride soon then

I'm torn on this charcoal thing.
I have the ultimate charcoal altar(s) on my back deck, 2x Big Green Eggs. They ONLY take lump charcoal. None of this briquette nonsense with cardboard fillers, impregnated with lighter fuel. Real charcoal, and that's all. They work wonderfully. No complaints whatsoever.
However, burning charcoal and boats don't really mix, so I have a small Weber, a Q120 for that purpose. It gets up to heat in no time, and as importantly on the boat, cools down quickly. For the odd Frankfurter, kebab skewers or burger while enjoying the lake, it's ideal. Takes the little disposable camping propane cylinders.
I prefer the charcoal monsters, but also have a soft spot for the Baby Q.
