Probably, everything involving fun is restricted these days

How would you be able to find out if a bbq is allowed???

There are specific picnic sites but generally you can't do it 'in the trees' at all. Contact Forest Enterprise in the region where the forest is. They'll have a public info line or try Google.

So long as your bbq is raised off the floor so it doesn't scorch the grass, and you're a good 10m or more from the nearest tree I reckon you should be ok as long as there's no signs saying 'Strictly no bbq's'

Our local park has fixed charcoal bbqs avaliable all supplied FOC by the council.

You could have a bbq on a beach.........nothing much cann catch fire and plenty of water around if it does!

On a serious note most parks, public spaces will have signs up regarding bbqs. If not contact the controlling authority for clarification.

As long as it is within a container, raised from the ground and not a bonfire you should be okay.

We use a WEBER type kettle bbq with a lid and never had any problems.............yet

It's when you start breaking up palets @ 3am and singing out loud when they get the hump i've heard!
