Disposable barbecues are harmful to people & the environment - ban them!
magnumificent.bsky.social Mags @magnumificent.bsky.social · Jul 21
Disposable Barbecues are made with no consideration for safety or the environment.

As a consequence we have a near constant stream of…

- catastrophic environmental destruction
- life changing injuries
- needless landfill

Minimum standards for their production are essential

It’s a shame that ALL bbqs have to be banned simply because of the inherent faults and dangers of disposable bbqs

Everyone’s enjoyment compromised - how about some simple and basic safety standards?

Bold move in Leeds

If these came with legs, a lid and handles, there would be drastically reduced chance of heat transfer to ignite the fire on the ground, flames & post bbq residue could be contained and they could be easily moved/removed when required.

Nope - nothing.

But… some basic standards (for what essentially is a portable fire tray) is too
Much to ask is it?

Another reason for the ‘Legs’ element of the 3 L’s for any portable fire/cooking unit

on dry ground heat from DBBQs can ignite the carbon-dense peat below the surface, scorching the surface & starting a smouldering fire underground.
