Hi all,

As I've said before, I'm currently in the process of designing a new barbecue as part of the requirements for my final year of university (have a look at http://www.bbbqs.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=545 for background information).

I'm wondering whether there are any wheelchair using ...

Doc,

Arg, nightmare! That was pretty much exactly the idea I had in mind. Funnily, I found the patent for that while I was doing my research but was unable to find a product on the market which actually used the patented technology. I guess I'll be looking at other ways to solve the same problem ...

Hey Banjo,

Thanks for that post, it's really informative and sort of reinforces what I was beginning to expect. I also think you're right in terms of where I'll be aiming my product:

I'm not going to be able to come up with something cheaper than a disposable BBQ. People who buy these products are ...

Hey Doc,

Yeah I stumbled across those whilst I was doing some research the other day. Haven't seen them in the shops though, do we get them much in the UK? Seems to be quite a cool idea - reduces a lot of the emissions and waste materials and is great for people who want to BBQ on the go. I'm ...

Hi Doc,

I'll admit, I'm more of a hobbyist griller and by no means consider myself an authority on BBQing. However, I do enjoy having a grill on a sunny weekend in the summer, and it's this sort of person that I'm looking to target with this project. People like yourself with a lot of BBQ ...

Sorry if I came across as narrow-minded. Obviously, I understand that a lot of women love BBqing. I'm just surprised by the results of this survey, and it sort of backs up my personal experience about who normally does the cooking on a BBQ. I'm just trying to get to the root cause of it to see if ...

Thank you very much for the input everybody, stuff like this is really helpful as it means I won't charge off and spend a lot of time working on an area that doesn't really matter that much to users.

I agree that the heat of the BBQ is enough to kill bacteria on the grill. However, I'm wondering if ...

Thanks very much for the responses guys, it's all valuable information and I'd encourage anyone else with an opinion on the matter to chime in too.

Steve - you're right about the distinction between BBQ and grilling, and I should have made that more clear in my original post. To clarify, I am ...

Hey again,

Looks like there have been 38 views and no comments... maybe the first post seems a little long and boring.

Basically all I'm trying to find out is what people love about BBQing as an activity and a food, and what's wrong with your home BBQ that gets in the way of the fun.

Anyone have ...

Hi everyone!

Hope I've posted this in the right place, otherwise, mods, feel free to move it.

My name is J Terry and I'm a university student currently in the fourth year of my Product Design and Technology course. One of the requirements for my final year is to come up with an innovative new ...
