    Most outdoor cooking facilities in the UK get used no more than three times a year, and this assumes the owner is a real foodie....

    I'm in the North of Scotland! perhaps we're hardier up here!  If you've never experienced a winter barbecue, you've never lived! :)

    There's nothing like huddling round a barbecue with a mug of hot port in the midst of a gale-blown sleet shower!  ...and that's in June, so why not do it in January!

    A brick bbq with a chimney is probably going to be safer and cause less smoke to wander into the garden.  You could view it as a win.

    Ye gads. I always though them Celts north of the border were uncivilized. Port should only ever be drunk at room temperature and from a proper glass.

    Time to start rebuilding Hadrian's Wall, only much higher this time.

    ...but with a proper glass how do you manage to dip your marshmallows in the port before flambeeing them in the fire? :)
