In the far east recently I saw tiny barbeques about ten inches square, the
base being made from what i think was some kind of clay and had a stainless
steel rack to sit on the top.

They could easily be placed on a kitchen hob, so that you could have an
indoor barbi.

They were too heavy to bring one home. I'm wondering if anyone has seen
them for sale in the u.k.?

Or if anybody had adapted anything to make a miniature barbeque that one
could use indoors in the kitchen placed on the gas hob?

One of the reasons for not having indoor barbies is that burning
charcoal can produce carbon monoxide which is somewhat poisonous.

If you want to use your cooker fan extractor hood then buy a "Piramid"
(maybe Pyramid) barbeque and place it overthe hob. We have had one for
years and they are superb. Quite expensive but have long guarantee.

If by barbeque you mean something that burns charcoal, there's a couple of
things to beware of. First, charcoal fires produce carbon monoxide, which
can be deadly. Second, a charcoal fire consumes oxygen, and in an enclosed
room the oxygen can be depleted below the concentration necessary to sustain
human life. In the US, about 25 people are killed each year from burning
charcoal indoors. See for instance

I have wood-burning fireplaces in my house and have sometimes used a

Most days are OK to use charcoal outside. I do it all the time here
in south western Ontario Canada. Every month of the year. You don't
need to be inside. Except for to eat.

Sounds similar to a hibachi; to avoid the carbon monoxide issue, there
are electric versions for tabletom use:

Sounds to me like the little grills used for
Korean bulgogi, though he did say square,
and hibachis are usually square while the
Korean bulgogi grill is usually round.
They are usually used indoors, under a hood.

Consider that lethal exposure is 800 Parts Per Million for two hours,
maximum permissible is 30 PPM, and the recommended level is zero. I'd say
it is more than somewhat poisonous.

If you go to a Turkish/Middle Eastern supermarket in London (or
elsewhere), there will be metal contraptions meant for grilling kebabs
over charcoal.

Just make certain to have good ventilation if using coals. No idea if
they will work over a hob though.

Might want to ask your insurance company, the fire department, and the
hospital emergency room (or morgue) if this is a good idea.

d-i-y means no attention paid to building codes or safety many times...

Just be careful! Attempts at indoor BBQ tend to produce Carbon Monoxide
gas.

It's a good way to commit suicide.

This works well for me. I don't have this exact one, but I do have
something similar:

Or:

I've been using an indoor electric grill regularly now for years. I LOVE
the thing. One of my favorite appliances for cooking meat and some
veggies. Neater and less messy than frying and gives satisfactory
results. Many pics I've taken of food with grill marks comes from one
of these. <g>

Certainly true and I think it's the *only* safe way to charcoal broil
indoors unless you count an electrically heated barbeque.

Some years ago; in order to try and stay warm an elderly couple
operated their bar-b-q inside their fairly well sealed up North
American house during a power failure. It used up all the oxygen and
they were found dead.

Unless somebody lives somewhere really sealed up, like underwater, it's
pretty hard to use up the oxygen. As Om posted above, it's generally
carbon monoxide poisoning.

Note that the OP *did* *not* mention charcoal. For all you folks
suggesting that carbon monoxide is a concern, you have a point *if*
the contraption uses charcoal, but what I *think* the OP may have
meant is some type of ceramic heat sink material that absorbs heat
from the regular stove top burner and then acts like the volcanic
rock in traditional outdoor gas grills. The heated surface catches
dripping fats and juices which then vaporaize and that flavors the
meat. So, maybe not as dangerous as everyone seems to be assuming.

On the other hand, since the OP has not clarified what he's talking
about, it may have just been a drive-by trolling.

Sam, you weren't either 'readily' or 'accused' of doing a troll. It was
mentioned as being among a list of possibilities for a post to which you
would not further clarify when concerns about carbon monoxide was raised.

It IS one method of operation for a troll to drop a controversial topic into
usenet and leave it there for the masses to wrestle with.
