We were reminded that the smoke from a barbeque always blows in the direction of our back door! I think it is the wind channeling down the opposite side (to the patio and back door) of our house. I have in the past had to stop next doors cat (sadly no longer with us) from leaping onto our lit barbeque! He took umbrage and a little while later I found him sitting underneath my car peeping at me. We lit ours today just to prime it rather than cook on it.

Oh, and a cat letting its tail drift too close to the flames can be a problem too, although quick reactions ensured only a minor singeing. A lesson was learned, by the cat. My daughter has one.

We start winter in 3 days and so I too am waiting impatiently waiting for sunny days. Add a photo, once you try it out. Just to make the southern half of the globe jealous. Great idea…
