Never been entirely convinced by gas barbeques, but then I haven't used
one
in anger.

The problem with gas BBQs is what is the point? I went to one in the US. The
food came out evenly cooked, just as if it had cooked in a fan oven. That
isn't a BBQ. If I wanted a nice even oven cooked taste, I'd use the freaking
oven.

I want smoke, scorch marks, flaming infernos when the cheap sausages leak
onto the coals. *That* is a BBQ.

You get that too with a gas one

It's less ****ing around and leaves more time for drinking
