Nahh - I'll let him build us one - it'll keep him out of mischief. Far be it from me to arrive in the country and start telling his family and friends that they've got it wrong.
Although I'm a great fan of the gas grill BBQ (would be my first choice every time) - when I actually think about the BBQs I've been to over there (family & friends etc) .... I have to say that I think I remember them all being solid plate charcoal contraptions.
One thing I am sure about .... with everything else to do with immigration, I'm not going to spend too much time worrying about a BBQ at this stage
