About the BBQ ( trying to be lighthearted )

Well isn`t he the saintly one.hahaha.
I bet the next holiday let he books won`t have a bbq.

It’s the worst job ever, and it never seems to get done properly at the end of the season, and when it does, it makes a dreadful mess, involves ruining several scourers, dish cloths, tea towels.

Last year he announces, no more barbecues, reason given, too anti social. Of course I know the real reason, he would have to have cleaned it!

Suziewoozie, I can put myself into your situation completely, I would just carry on as normal and ignore his banging about.

I've laughed all the way through this thread, loving the minute by minute reports on the BBQ front !!

Here in NZ hardly anyone doesn't have at least one BBQ. They are sited in parks and beachsides too - you put a coin in a slot and fire them up.

It IS important to clean them because heat doesn't get to all the parts and you don't want to be ill with old rancid fat consumed from the last person's meal. Yuk, yuk.

There's a whole department in our local hardware shop of scrapers and scrubbers and pikes and stuff. Chemicals which sterilise and disinfect and de-grease.

It's a matter of pride with most blokes to have a pristine BBQ.

The same blokes who can turn out perfect steaks but can't even boil and egg in the kitchen and never wash up their breakfast pots in the morning .

Some even go overseas to enter BBQ competitions!
