Bbq's

No problem on CC sites usually as long as you don't burn the grass or annoy people. Check with the warden if in doubt.

yep its diposable bbq on the ground that is frowned on oh and fire pits they scorch the grass even three foot off ground.

personally I prefer my safari cadac but the bbq grate is useless so I use griddle plate

Thanks for the prompt advice..

will adhere to TW's points 1 and 3 but hopefully will not annoy fellow users (but maybe make them jealous of the aromas) I generally am anyway when I pass someone having a bbq

Problems with smoke are mainly charcoal ones. Gas should not be a problem unless you like your food cremated.

Please make sure you don't burn 1sq metre of grass but no worries if you kill 15sq metres of grass with your groundsheet  .

In all my years of caravanning I've never seen or heard of any complaints about bbq's on site. But because it's in the rule book then it can always be enforced if a situation arises.

i am afraid that this Club is becoming  more like a Dictatorship, what has happened to the friendly caravanning club that we joined over 30 years ago.Where has the "friendly " gone???????  SG2

I think like often on CT things get blown out of all proportion. Yes if you light a charcoal BBQ and you have live bits of charcoal blowing about in the wind, you may rightly expect complaints. However, a little smoke / aromas come with the BBQ season, and you are unlikely to get many who object. They are probably too busy BBQing themselves.

The issue I have with BBQs is that they reignite your gastric juices, half an hour after you prepared your meal of salad and cold meat. 

Perhaps try a windbreak, they don't have to be expensive, but will alleviate the problem. (Until they then funnel the wind past your BBQ directly into your awning!!).

I think it is 'we' and society in general who have changed!  Folk seem far less tolerant of each other and increasingly thoughtless in their own actions these days. Don't think the 'club' itself appears less friendly afterall we members are the club. But there again that is simply my opinion and may be just an age related observation!
