What would YOU do with this thing?

cool barbecues!!! What do you grill? Ice cream?

Once you have the PSU for them you may as well fit a motherboard, disk, etc. and make it into a mce PC.

hat I'd have to use charcoal kinda puts me off. I think the original installation was subject to bit of misplaced logic when you consider the climate here. There is a chimney above the grill, as well as a big vent fan. The fan is meant to blow the smoke into the main fireplace chimney, but when we moved in it was stuffed with fibreglass insulation. There is no flue on the grill side, so in winter, frigid air would come bombing down the chimney and into the livingroom trhough the fan. Yes, there are solutions, but I guess I like the idea of livingroom BBQs more than the actual act.

Cool as in phat innit.

I think I agree with this opinion or at the very least reuse it as an outdoor bbq.

Charcoal is more authentic though. You could just put a suitable shuttering device or plug in the chimney when it wasn't being used in winter.

Bob wouldn't HAVE to use charcoal anyway, if it's the charcoal specifically that puts him off, but I suspect it isn't that bur the whole chimney/fan issue. It's easy enough to barbecue over wood once the flames have died down a bit, I quite often do that. If I were Bob I would use the main chimney as an open fire and leave the barbecue in situ, but then I have a free endless supply of timber and love open fires and he probably doesn't. Horses for courses etc.

How about taking it out and using it as fish/meat smoker instead?
