I quite happily let OH play with the BBQ......... for some reason it is almost like a "toy"........ the cooker never quite had the same effect on him :)

Dont forget the ample praise necessary :wink_smile: and the cleaning up afterwards, and that was a night off!

I have this awful blue enamel tin with what I can only describe as a vented lid which is a killer...... the food does not drain properly while cooking and the smoke....... well I end up with the tea towel flapping duty....... and it is a new cooker with a new "broil" tin/tray type thing.

(I know they are different here when it comes to "grills"...... when we were looking at cookers they even had them with the broiler in the bottom......... yes ..... right at the bottom where you would usually put your baking trays......... can you imagine that............. cooked feet........... cooked pet............. it just seemed really strange........... or maybe that is just me :)
