Another BBQ essential which appears never to have caught on in this country,
presumably because;
A) we are all lousy cooks, or B) we are all still new to barbecuing, is the
use of a water spray gun, this is used to fine mist the coals so as to cool
them down and therby increase the cooking time

Beer -- shaken, not stirred -- does the same thing and adds a certain
piquancy to the food.
