JennyO, you and I cross-posted a while back--I wasn't arguing with you about what you call the thing that holds the coals, I was agreeing with Bobert as we took sides in this discussion re what other North Americans were calling barbecue. (Your post hadn't shown up yet when I started mine, and I think the timestamp on them comes from when you start writing, not when you hit send. I sometimes take a while to get around to sending these posts).

I don't want to be chased around the grill or barbecue or bar-b-que or whatever it happens to be called if I ever eventually get to travel off of this continent and visit Oz. :)

SRS
