Indoor diy barbeques sam coleridge 12-05-2009

In the far east recently I saw tiny barbeques about ten inches square, the
base being made from what i think was some kind of clay and had a stainless
steel rack to sit on the top.

They could easily be placed on a kitchen hob, so that you could have an
indoor barbi.

They were too heavy to bring one home. I'm wondering if anyone has seen
them for sale in the u.k.?

Or if anybody had adapted anything to make a miniature barbeque that one
could use indoors in the kitchen placed on the gas hob?

One of the reasons for not having indoor barbies is that burning
charcoal can produce carbon monoxide which is somewhat poisonous.

Consider that lethal exposure is 800 Parts Per Million for two hours,
maximum permissible is 30 PPM, and the recommended level is zero. I'd say
it is more than somewhat poisonous.

OK. So the affinity of carbon monoxide for haemoglobin is around 700
times that of oxygen and instead of forming a loose 'association' it
forms a stable compound, carboxyhaemoglobin.

(Or that is how I remember it.)

Agreed. Horribly poisonous.

If you want to use your cooker fan extractor hood then buy a "Piramid"
(maybe Pyramid) barbeque and place it overthe hob. We have had one for
years and they are superb. Quite expensive but have long guarantee.
