They've covered themselves with that special appliance bit. If I cook something in a tumble dryer outside does that make it BBQ ?
Sure why not :-). Tell me how it comes out!

In the interests of calm and peace at the forums, maybe this thread should draw to a close.

I think everything constructive that could be said has been said, and if the continuation of the thread just brings about ill-will, repetition, sarcasm, etc, then it's not serving any useful purpose.

EDIT: Sorry, I'll just add, thanks for the chat. I've learned a lot from everyone's contributions.

Too be perfectly honest with you it was a pointless topic. I personally haven't learnt anything from it. I think you might be the only one who as gained anything from this thread. BBQ is different to different types of people depending on what you want to practice or believe in. A bit like relgion. There's no right or wrong.
