[Healeys] BBQ question. No Healey content whatsoever.

Geez.
Do we Aussies have to explain everything?
Ok.
First. The BBQ sounds like a weber.
Fortunately, I have 3 of those on my Healey, and a bloke with the same  
surname (called Mark) is driving an F1 Red Bull.
But if you saw Mark go from pole to 4th behind a Ferrari last night,  
then you'd probably disown him as quick as I have....
Back to your BBQ Simon...
What chokes are you running???
Seriously.
A new BBQ takes a while to come up to temperature.  The heating /  
cooling effect will blacken most BBQ parts.
If it's a weber closed lid BBQ, use rice bran oil, not olive oil.  
Olive oil burns at too low a temp. Weber BBQ's need to run at around  
430 or so.
45DC0E's are a different story.
If you need some recipes, let me know.
And the rest of you blokes, who don't run good redine oil in your  
trans....  Don't even go here!! Your BBQ will drip oil Forever once  
you use exotic BBQ oil blends like rice bran or Caritino (canola and  
red palm)
;-)
