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.


yup, agree with all of the above entirely.

add to that the use of a fossil fuel when an essentially carbon-neutral
source is cheaply and widely available, it all just seems terribly
decadent.

Especially when you then eat the food sitting under SWMBO's bloody patio
heater....
