BBQ in Porch/Drive? A No Go?

[Radam87]

Hi all

I have covered porch/drive which I am guessing is unsafe to BBQ under due to the risk of fire?

Nope, I wouldn't risk it unless it's one of those small disposable ones that sit on the floor (more space).
Plus the smoke will mean your lovely white ceiling will get spoiled.

And poisonous CO fumes may drift into your home.

That's good enough for me folks. Will not entertain the idea. Thanks for the advice.

Personally I would of thought it would be fine, as long as it was done nearer the front.

Use a weber type chimney briquette starter to get the coals going -do it a distance away. Once the coals are alight there is almost no smoke.

If you spread the coals so they are to either side of the grate and not in the centre where the initial cooking is done, you will avoid flare ups.

I dont see a problem.

There are plenty of gas hobs used in kitchens with no cooker hood above, whats the difference?

If it's gas, that will be ok. As above, there will be lots more ventilation under canopy than there would be using a gas hob in a kitchen.
