I was watching the end of another over ripe edition of Jamie Oliver's new TV show about cooking in his backyard...except he seems to have a personal gardener which really makes it the gardener's yard...and watched as the great smiley one baked a tomato and sausage roasty thing in a brick oven he seems to have had built for himself (he does seem very handy). But it sort of struck me that that I may be able to put bricks into my Webber briquette grill am I able to make it more of an oven?
Dare I? What could I do? Should I eat a peach as I try? Will it make me as cheery as he?

I believe if you pop by Home Depot, they have sort of bricky things one can buy for such a purpose. I need a replacement wavey thing for the inside of mine.

I am attracted to the freeness of my bricks so will start there.

Freeness is always best

freeness is good but the bricks themselves - unless firebrick - have a nasty tendency to crack.
However, a few firebricks and you can make a very credible oven on the Webber. Imagine the squeals of childish delight when, instead of a boring old steak, Dad present them with a BBQ loaf of whole wheat bread.

But how about a smokey foccaccio or even a dessert?

Funny, but I am swaying away from our wonderous, but not as wonderous as a Webber, Barbecue (note the Canadian spelling as opposed to the US BBQ derivation). I am pondering a concrete and brick barbecue pit in my back yardy area where I can roast hawaiin style whole suckling pigs.. We have a new over with convection settings that makes nice bready things so I like to keep the firey cookware for meat and meat by products (such as Yorkshire Pud)

BBQ is from the French - roasting a whole animal "beard to tail" or "barbe a queue." Nothing NORAD-quibbling about it.
