Yes.....Mmm, really don't think we're cut out to be campers . I hate barbecues and barbecued food with a passion, detest the smell and smoke. I also don't like hearing children or dogs or loud music. We bought our motor home to get away from everyone and everything which is why we prefer CL/CS sites. Would love to do more wild camping but I'm such a wuss and worried about people sneaking about at night up to no good. I'm also a loner, so pretty anti-social. Does this make me a bad person or just a miserable sod
People go camping, motorhome, they light BBQs, they listen to music, they talk outside in groups. That's camping on a field.
If you want quite, no BBQ smells, no noise, no generators, then I think campsites and rallies are not the place to go in the summer.
Don't get me wrong all the above should finish at a reasonable time say 2am.
His eggs are on an Egg....Can’t be a very big sausage having to stand that close to the bbq
What do others think of this situation?
We were on a proper campsite, arrive back at the m/h around 7.30pm after eating at the pub. van is boiling as expected. Open all the windows, doors & vents & by 8.30 it's down to 25 degrees, just about to settle down & watch TV when the tugger next door & directly upwind of us gets out his home made BBQ & lights it with fire lighters. Our van was enveloped in thick smoke which went on for around 40 minutes, we had to close everything up & escape until he'd finished, around 9.30!

I didn't realize quoting a line from a film could be so controversial, When that line is used buy people so much today when they squeeze too much BB-Q lighter fluid on the charcoal & light it & run!
In the context of a burning barbie ruining your day the meme was a Joke with someone trying to be funny. Laugh or don't..
Complaining about it and posting a photo of a burning child. Welcome to motorhome facts
Disgusting... totally disgusting.

There’s Barbecuing and there’s the loose interpretation of “Man Make Fire to Cook”
I often watch as fellow campers set up the BBQ especially if they are using charcoal or briquettes. Unless you have grasped the fundamentals of using these materials correctly more often than not it will result in lots of annoying smoke, flames, charred meat and possibly food poisoning.
The simple way to avoid upsetting your neighbours is to use good quality briquettes. Weber are widely available and do a good job. Don’t dowse them in lighter fuel, use Weber or similar lighter cubes and a Chimney Starter. If there is space and you can safely find somewhere away from the wind and neighbours to light the coals, a Chimney Starter is the best way to prepare the coals evenly. Once they have turned grey and the flames have subsided you are good to go.
I use a modified Weber Jumbo Joe when we are away in the MH. The addition of a temperature gauge in the lid allows for more accurate cooking. Although probes will work just fine. Depending on what I am cooking and for how long will mean I either use direct heat or indirect heat, this is the important bit and where some people go wrong. The occasional fat dripping from meat on to hot coals will produce flames which is fine, but too much flame will cook and char the outside too quickly leaving the middle underdone, ok ish for steak but deadly for chicken, sausages, pork etc. Using a combination of indirect and direct allows for the meat to cook as desired without too much smoke and flames.
Another trick is to cut the oxygen off by placing the lid on if things are a bit fierce to start with. The BBQ is one of the most versatile bits of cooking kit available, so versatile in fact you can pretty much cook anything and everything from Chillis, Chutney, and Chinese Stri Fry to Rice Pudding, Bread and Butter Pudding, Sticky Toffee Pudding and even a Victoria Sandwich.
Make your neighbours salivate not suffocate.

The word braaivleis (English: /ˈbraɪfleɪs/; Afrikaans pronunciation: [ˈbrɑːifləis]) is Afrikaans for grilled meat. The word braai (plural braais) is Afrikaans for barbecue or grill and is a social custom in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi
Why not just walk round with a friendly beer and chat about it, so much simpler than all this chuntering on and on the internet. Your well fed neighbours will never read all this.
