I'm especially liking the way that mum had to finish the burgers off under the grill - presumably because you weren't allowed to play with electricity.

<smug>my house has a BBQ built in, uses the same chimney as the fireplace</smug>

Less smugly, winter BBQs with a roaring fire indoors are out of the question, unless you want a house that stinks of chorizo and morcilla.

The only manly use of a hairdryer is to blast furnace a BBQ into rapid blazing action. Next time (see, leaving you a life line there) put down the straighteners, reach for the hairdryer (or paint stripper seeing as in your case even partial failure is total failure) and get it right!

Gas BBQ's - a bit like alcohol-free lager.

i.e. what's the point.

Ideal for the terminally lazy though, or people who can't even manage to successfully set fire to something that's naturally extremely easy to set fire to ...

Burgers cook in about 5 minutes - were you using matches instead of charcoal? God help the chicken.

I forget that it rains too much back in Blighty for you to use a BBQ to cook most nights 😆

Hand in your shed keys and report to the nearest florists.

Me and the lads will be round shortly to own you with 60 odd chicken kebabs and several empty lager cans.

Was the BBQ far away from civilization? Or was it in your garden? If the latter it is inexcusable, you have an electrical device designed to cook meat not a few steps away...

Gas Barby? You mean a 'cooker'? Just one you, somewhat bizarrely, had installed in the garden instead of the kitchen?

😉

Oh... and hats off to Harry for sticking to the cooking lager while you were....erm... cooking 😀

hairdryer / hot air stripper sounds fun, but what you need is a chimney starter. The best way i can describe it, is that it's like the difference between bodging a headset in with wood and a mallet and having a proper press. Everyone should do it the manly way to show they can, but once proven then get the right tool for the job.

Load it up with charcoal, light a ball of newspaper, put the chimney down on top and then sit back with a beer for 15 mins. Blow on it a couple of times for effect (and to see what sticking your face onto the surface of the sun would feel like) and then pour onto the grate and start going.

(not me)

As for feeling manly. Camping holiday last year, my mate was blowing his grill to get it going hot enough for hours while I'd lit, cooked, and eaten on mine. Finally his wife snapped and asked if she could move her sausages onto the remnants of our grill so she could eat that evening. That's proper pwned!

I am sorry to read about a BBQ that ended in fiasco, but it could have been worse. Someone I once knew accidentally set fire to both his Mother and Father in law while attempting to ignite the charcoal with some flammable fluid.
I understand it took some time to live that one down.

Ah, that old chestnut. It's not an accident if the in-laws are tied up at the time.

Real Men start with Timber and let it become charcoal, cook, and then have a fire again after to keep the midges away. Your average barbie from B&Q will melt under these conditions so you build your own in the traditional "Broch dry stane dyke" style using no mortar and filling the gaps with rockery style planting.
