Bit of a rant, regarding disposable Bar-B-Q`s...

[Yorick]

I wonder how long they will be able to be sold for.
House coal was banned last year due to pollution.

Camper vans spew out thousand times more poison

Not on site. We turn our engine off soon as we park up

 

[Badknee]

Excuse me!

Last night I cooked perfectly seasoned Richmond sausages, beautifully mashed potatoes and baked beans.

It went down a treat

Hmmmmm, the problem with that is there’s no such think as a perfectly cook Richmond sausage.

Wrong .... sorry.

It was on the news today. People are now burying smouldering BBQ's in the sand on beaches rather than take them away and children and dogs are stepping on them and getting burnt. Makes me so angry too.

Complete idiots!

I don't use them , i have a fire on a beach surrounded by stones then when its burnt down a bit ive a stainless steel grid thst fits over the stones and i cook on that.
Less to carry and leaves no trace.

If i have one on grass i cut a section out with my folding spade put it to one side dig a small pit have the fire in that and in the morning i refitt the turf....again leaves no trace.

 

[Winger]

Sorry but a gas bbq is not a bbq, more an outdoors gas ring!

 

[Kannon Fodda]

Increasingly areas are discouraging sales of disposable type charcoal BBQs because of the irresponsible use and risks of fire. After a major fire near Bournemouth / Poole last year the New Forest as a whole tried to remove the disposable BBQs from all retail outlets, and there was a general policy of no charcoal BBQs (which may have extended to gas BBQs) anywhere in the New Forest other than on proper campsites.

The desire to BBQ, or realistically cook outdoors is inevitable for any campers. After all we are all enjoying an outdoor lifestyle and so what better than to do your best to smoke out your neighbours as you cremate your offering? Environmentally, like many things we enjoy, the climate activists will seek all BBQ types charcoal and gas, will need to be shut down, after all they all consume fossil fuels. That will resolve the problems of irresponsible users.

Should've found some discarded dog poo and stuck that on the BBQ instead as there'll be more meat in it than a Richmond sausage!

 

[busbuddy]

It's not just disposable bbq's, many of the cheap bucket/fold up/short legged ones will destroy the grass underneath them.
Especially after the 'chef' has burnt all the food and then decides to turn it into a fire pit

just saying,,,,,,,,, why do so many people with dogs allow them to crap and not pick it up ???

I knew of someone who's kerbside grass always got pooed on. And when the passenger got out of the car. Oops!
So. They picked the poo up and placed it on his front doorstep !
Never happened again!

 

[Marty Gilly and Pup]

Hmmm. Richmond sausages. Less than half the required pork content methinks. Should be rebranded as “Ruskies”

Pork (42%), Water, Pork Fat (10%), Rusk (Wheat), Potato Starch, Soya Protein Concentrate. Ingredients less than 2%: Salt, Flavourings, Stabilisers: Diphosphates, Guar Gum; Antioxidants: E300 & E307; Preservative: Sodium Metabisulphite, Colour: Cochineal.

Ban BBQ’s


They smother a site with smoky smog for ages, then far worse


They smother the site with smells of food cooking that you are not going to be eating

One of the worst aspects of working on a campsite is that we are often moving around the site during the morning enduring numerous outbreaks of bacon fumes and sizzling. “Blimey that smells good” is often replied to with an invitation to share, but we are working so we say “Thankyou but not today”
I may start to carry a suitable (pre sauced) bread bun around with me…….

Didn’t Aldi announce a few months ago that they were stopping selling Disposable BBQs because if the fire risk to moors etc?

As regards Richmond sausages, they are a bit like Walls sausages, may have pork in them but not the meat you would want to know which part of the animal it came from
Only ever buy locally made butchers links at least then you know it’s proper meat and no crap fillers and preservatives.

 

[PhilandMena]

You have never seen me or my wife walk away from our dogs droppings...

And what has that got to do with disposable barbies.. ???

Because people of a certain age ( us lot), just have to have a good moan at life in general.

Is that a treat in Hull?!

 

[Northernraider]

Sausages are rubbish BBQ food anyway. Steak , chicken , fish , corn on the cob, peppers, honey dipped carrots , parsnips, lamb kebabs and the occasional burgers ( preferably home made )

Now yer talking

This thread seems to be warming up nicely. Handbags at dawn if we're lucky.

 

[MillieMoocher]

It’s not so much that the grass will grow back - which of course it will - but we have had more than one fire on the moorland near our house caused by people using disposable BBQs on the ground and the bracken catching fire. Despite numerous notices saying that BBQ are banned.

Beyond belief really.

 

[Emmit]

I have no idea who either of you are, however, It is just as annoying as a burnt bit of grass that will regrow to see the amount of dog muck that is left around to spread diseases
Dog feces are one of the most common carriers of the following diseases:

• Whipworms.
• Hookworms.
• Roundworms.
• Tapeworms.
• Parvo.
• Corona.
• Giardiasis.
• Salmonellosis.

"I have no idea who either of you are,"


Let's leave it at that.

Best place for Richmond sausage is the bin.

 

[125BEER]

Wrong .... sorry.

The best place for Richmond sausages(!!!) is in the dog....

I'm probably going to get lynched for going off topic.

We get idiots on our beach who light fires directly on the shingle just leave them to burn out. Resulting in burning hot stones in the morning.
Then you get to ones that tip the still burning charcoal out of the BBQ and cover it with stones same result.

 

[Coolcats]

Not EU6 engines with Ad Blue it just puffs out rose petals ....thats my technical interpretation

 

[Northernraider]

Even the dogs dont like them

 

[jockaneezer]

I'm pretty sure Richmond pork sausages could be classed as Kosher !

If you have a MoHo you do not need a single use portable BBQ, and even then there are other ways here is an article of why portable single use BBQ's should be banned .


"As wildfires raced through even more acres of British countryside, devastating the beautiful Ilkley Moor, calls were made to prevent further damage by banning disposable barbecues.
The ancient moorland, in West Yorkshire, saw two fires over the Bank Holiday weekend – despite laws, dating back to 1900, prohibiting citizens from having fires on the moor.
Firefighters tackled the blazes for several days to control the damage, but a number of eyewitnesses were appalled to report that there were still thrill-seekers holding barbecues in the area.

Our ‘single-use’ culture​

Recycling and waste disposal experts BusinessWaste.co.uk have called for the disposable barbecues – often costing as little as two or three pounds – to be banned.
There are a number of downsides to using the cheap grills – not least of which is their throwaway nature, which (combined with their cheap price) means they perpetuate the harmful ‘single-use’ culture which threatens the environment.
Disposable barbecues also contain charcoal, which is normally unsustainably sourced, contributing to the desertification of forest. Disposable barbecues can’t be recycled or composted, meaning that for each one sold in the UK each year – estimated at over a million – new waste committed to landfill.

‘One supermarket chain alone sold 300,000 disposable barbecues last year – that means there are likely over a million of them sold each year, each one contributing to ruining forests for charcoal and adding to piles of waste in landfill. While most people will dispose of them safely, even a small percentage failing to do so could have drastic consequences for the local flora and fauna. Banning them wouldn’t mean the end of the great British barbecue – but it would mean the end of a throwaway attitude to something which can do real harm.’
MARK HALL
Communications director of BusinessWaste.co.uk

BusinessWaste.co.uk has called for ‘swift and decisive’ action to be taken by some of the biggest retailers in the Ilkley area and across the UK, including Tesco, Booths and Co-op.
The company says a move to immediately ban the sale of disposable barbecues would reduce anti-social behaviour, cut down on littering and show a real commitment to improving both their local and national green credentials. To date no response has been provided.
Other areas have taken similar steps, with Moors Valley in Dorset banning disposable barbecues in 2018 following two enormous moors fires in Greater Manchester and Lancashire.

‘completely preventable damage’​

Mark Hall concluded: ‘It’s truly heartbreaking to see huge areas of iconic British countryside damaged due to the thoughtless and selfish actions of a few – and we would strongly urge retailers to reconsider selling disposable BBQs, which are very often the source of wildfires.
‘Being based a stone’s throw from [the] fire on Ilkley Moor, we’ve seen firsthand the devastation that can be done, and we are indebted to the incredible, tireless fire service who have been ensuring nobody was hurt.
‘As amazing as the emergency services have been, we shouldn’t have to rely on already-stretched public services to tackle completely preventable damage. Items which are not only environmentally unfriendly due to their packaging and disposal, but also repeatedly cause enormous, irreparable damage to our countryside should be banned without question, and it is our duty to champion that cause.’
