    I have a photo of an LCD screen showing a fire burning. You can't be too careful with LCD screens.

          You can just slap the raw naan on the inside wall of your oven - does the job.

                alright Norahhe luv,

                slow roasting meats in the winter time

                I've wondered about that too but isn't it too cold outside and the weber has no insulation

                what is the coldest outdoor temperature you've run in

                and what is the internal temperature of the weber while doing this ?

                Milan.

                  Check the park and common byelaws or laws (depending what park you live next to.)

                  Lots of parks and commons state that you cannot have open fires including barbecues due to the risk of fire.

                  Quite a few of the parks and commons near me are Nature Reserves so fire damage can ruin the ecosystem for endangered insects and other bugs.

                  And yes the police do randomly enforce them.

                  Nope completely different experience.

                  For one you get a guy cooking while you get to drink a glass of wine (or a bottle), and do nothing after you have prepared the salad. .

                    Stick your finger in the embers and see if it's hot enough!

                    If you put the lid on the Weber, not only do you get the full effect of the smokiness, you avoid any localised cooking. Despite the low specific heat capacity and high conductivity of stainless steel, it is enough to provide the oven effect if you keep the lid on while cooking due to thermal radiation, convection and conduction.
