Nope, but I've grilled plenty this year.

That's a really cool place! Have you tried boosting numbers by posting in !fedigrow@lemm.ee and the new community spaces?
That community seems more about communities than boosting specific communities. Maybe I should check out the 'new community' communities. Now I've written the word 'communities' too often and it just looks like nonsense to me!
Haha it's fine theres not another word for it. You can post about reviving and growing quiet ones there people often do it and it says so in the info page
I enjoy smaller BBQs (5/6 people) but really dislike larger "extended family friend" ones.
You know, the ones where the related host will invite everyone and there neighbour's cousins cat to sit around in a circle of sweaty plastic chairs, sunburned, all facing each other like some waiting room while we all melt away. Slowly the tinnies get opened faster, noise rises and after like an hour all the decent conversations have all ended, replaced by bad karaoke chorus of kings of leon.
Okay that escalated into PTSD, maybe its a me problem..
I’ve been bbq-ing since mid January for various events we’ve hosted, but I’d say the first proper British BBQ day was yesterday for where we are.
Now that I’ve invited people over for this proper first-bbq-of-the-year shindig, the sun has decided to go all shy.
Standard
I need to complete the deck first…
Good luck with that this weekend
There was a video of a person with a disposable BBQ on a car seat a few days ago (whilst driving?). Your post made me recall that.
Oh fucking hell how stupid do you have to be???
I can't find the damn thing! I'm screaming!
Are you sure it wasn't a nightmare? I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to put a lit bbq in a car
I hate you rn (jk). 😁
I can't honestly remember if it was on Lemmy or "the other place".
We do not speak of the other place 😆
Damnit I can't find it. Tried everything I can thing of. Think it was a German car with the disposable BBQ on the passenger seat on his RHS. You can guess the rest.
I'm going to drown my sorrows now.
It's okay it was really nice of you to look for it 😊
Mmmmmmmmm bbq
Starting tonight!
Yeap was invited to one today but it was with relatives I despise and I know we will be starving until 5ish when the BBQ is finally ready. Ain't going
I did one yesterday and might do one again tonight.
Edit: it rained. I did not do one tonight. I had burritos.
We had prazonki last weekend, and I did burgers on the grill last night because the kids were after it.
It's 21 degrees around here, what are you waiting for?
Next weekend is going to be a smoked side of lamb for Easter.
Yep two weeks ago. Was pretty nice weather, all in all.
Saw a family doing it in the park, grill on the grass, not raised or anything.
What do you guys across the pond BBQ?
Sausages, burgers, chicken bits and sometimes chunks of meat. Less often, fish
