I am officially amazed, have just read about this so thought id try it.

Basically just dug a small hole in the garden, stacked some bricks around it, stuck some charcole in the middle and a cooling rack on the top!!

Best BBQ Ive ever had, not only did the food taste brilliant, but there was minimal cleaning and I got the masculine 'man makes fire' feeling.

Im gonna do this more often, it just feels so much better then a manufactored BBQ!

Have any of you guys ever had a DIY BBQ?

Sounds good. What were the dimensions of the hole? specifically, how deep?
And did you build the bricks in the hole of just on the grass surrounding it?

Made the hole about 20 cm deep and then with the bricks stacked arounf it, it ended up at about 35cm deep, and was shaped and about as wide as a roasting tray!!

The bricks were stacked around the side and not actuall in the hole!!

God yeah I agree, there noting more worse the having a bbq and swapping gas cooked food for ............ gas cooked food.

This is basically what I did...

But I dug a little hole so the charcole wasnt as raised, then just swapped the spit roast for a cooling tray/wire rack.

Technically, grilling over coals is not barbecueing either, hehe. Was watching a Anothony Bourdain show the other day about South Carolina BBQs.

In my book it is

There is never going to be a definative answer as to what BBQ is and where it comes from, I've heard tonnes of theories as to what constitutes BBQ, origionaly it was meant to be:

1.dig a hole
2.throw goat in hole
3.cover goat in coal leaves
4.set alight and leave for hours
