BBQ's not very hot

Charles Turner · Joined: 26 Jul 2007 Posts: 6

Hi,

I wonder if anyone could help with the following:-

I have a Charbroil Gas Patio Caddie, which is OK but never really gets that
hot. I'm running it on Propane. When I say it's not that hot, it cooks food
OK but isn't hot enough to really sear a steak for example. My experience of
other gas BBQ's is also similar. Is this just the case with gas BBQ's.

Also I remember a few years ago (I live in the UK) that when I used a
charcoal BBQ it got so hot that I used to have to cool it down with a water
spray. Now charcoal also does not seem to get as hot as it used to, some of
the instant ones from Tesco, Sainsbury etc., are so cool you can nearly put
your hand on them!!!

Has something changed??

Thanks,

Charles

1) quit cross posting if you want answers. It's considered extremely
rude and improper in the usenet world.

2) Buy at least a Weber if you want a gasser

3) If you want a charcoal unit, buy a Weber kettle

These are probably the most cost effective solutions. There are
certainly other units which will maintain higher temperatures. It
depends on how much $ you want do spend, which is unspecified.

You are a liar and a fuckwitted cunt.

Crossposting is perfectly fine as long as the newsgroups crossposted
to are on topic for the subject (which the OP's are).

You needn't re-crosspost the previous crossposter's crossposted crosspost,
especially if you aim to explain to said crossposter that his crossposting
is rude. It can only encourage other crossposters from the other crossposted
NGs to crosspost bact to this NG in a blatant attemp to flaunt their own
mannerless crossposting prowess.

It was very intentional. I also receive an email from the idiot. I had
no idea which group "he" frequented and wanted "him" to see it. Get over
it.

Thanks for straightening me out Steve. I guess you could tell by the tone of
my previous post that I was seriously pissed off at you. I guess I shouldn't
have been.

S'awrite, Steve. Call it tough love. I learnt it from a man named Curry.

Maybe you're spreading yourself too thin, xposting to so many NGs.

lol, no problem on this end Kili. My problem was with the OP which I
thought that I replied with a civil and to the point post and then I got
a scathing note in my mail from the jerk cussing me up one side and down
the other. I got a little p.o'ed and lashed back. No problem with Fos
at all.

to believe that someone had already corrected his mistake.
