BBQ weather

In tomorrow's Food + Drink section of the Mail, Simpson's head chef Luke Tipping offers some great advice for barbecues. Plus there's a recipe for home-made beef burgers which would be ideal on the BBQ.

All of which is appealing with the weather forecasters promising a weekend of sun and warmth.

Trouble is, I'm not much of a barbecue user and, right now, don't even have an outside grill since mine was demolished during building work that recently took place.

Wonder how much one of those brick-built outdoor ovens would cost? I'll need something to eat while enjoying a cold beer in the sweltering months ahead (fingers crossed).
