Nope but Aldi are doing a 17" flat screen TV/Monitor with built in DVD for £199

Parallel port would be good....

Long time No Post in this thread!

Is the BBQ still in need of Hinges?
I ask because I found this site today
http://www.juststainless.co.uk/hinges.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.juststainless.co.uk/hinges.htm
and they do a Huge Variety of hinges, all in stainless steel so they should resist the heat including a rather hefty "100mm open x 8mm pin x 3mm thk £49 each " Piano Hinge which IIRC is what we were looking for in order to get the door hinged properly.

[FUBAR]

They also do 19mm Bar Handles:

which would look brilliant but would probably require golves to open...

[FUBAR]

or even this:



(cleats)
which wouldn't get anywhere near as hot

[Roadkill]

Me thinks the BBQ will need a "shake down" and refurb over winter - when there's more time.

[FUBAR]

Fair play, well there's some good ideas there for bits needed to finish the tank at least.

[Roadkill]

The tank also needs filling with weld and grinding/polishing back to be properly painted . . . .

It still needs a dolly wheel too . . . .

[FUBAR]

True,
Maybe nearer the time a "Project BBQ - Phase 2" Thread needs to be made & a full to-do list drawn up so we can all see what needs doing.
OMG some Project Management!

I wasn't specifically, it just seemed like a good idea...

A Very good idea, actually.

TBH, the BBQ probably has a limited life - but we can prolong this as much as possible by giving it a once-over every year . . .

The biggest problem will be finding something to tow it ?

PhilO's Astro has gone, Ian's thinking about changing his and I can't fit a tow bar on the GMC coz of the body kit & low height.

Anybody else fancy a tow bar ?

[FUBAR]

I can't, apart from that the IROC would never get one, towing is not on my driving licence

I've got a man with a red flag on mine

Ian will still have a tow bar unless hes getting rid of his caravan as well
