hello all, 

What are the rules, and what is the accepted etiquette for using BBQ's out side a motor home. We have just bought a small gas BBQ. 

Cheers 

Anne

i hate them what really bugs me are the fly men who light their barbies on the offside of their vans so none of the smoke goes in their van but would blow into their neighbours van cause their other half doesn,t want that stink in hers.first one that tries that with me will find the barbie over the hedge behind their van and them with it if need be!you have been warned unsociable people.

To try and answer the OP, you need to be considerate of other campers who may be nearby. Unfortunately we are sometimes much closer together than we like, however a camp site is a shared space? Gas  BBQ's don't generate as much smoke and smell as charcoal ones, so you shouldn't really have a problem in that respect. Some people hate them and will frown upon their use anywhere in sight, but I'm afraid they have to tolerate it, unless the site forbids their use. There should be no need to generate enough smell and smoke to irritate your neighbours though. The one thing I object to though is the inordinate amount of lighting fluid or blocks some people use for charcoal - it really stinks if it's used in too greater quantity.

I don't buy cheap sausage or burgers as they smoke too much and smell terrible

I found that if I don't put too much on the BBQ at once  it doesn't smoke too badly

we have a Cob BBQ which we use regularly when caravanning the fat runs into a drip tray rather than onto the coals

BBQ,s are a must if your away with the van,

we also have a small cadac gas for the sites that don't allow charcoal( which are nearly all sites in the south of France )
