I'm thinking of breaking down and buying an expensive (cheap - under
$100) bbq. The last one we owned, the chipmunks, squirrels, etc. made
a nest and chewed off the tubes/lines to the propane tank each time we
replaced them, within a few weeks-or less.

Hoping to buy a small bbq that holds ashes so to conveniently dump
them (unlike the standard Weber), I'm wondering if this tangine might
be used in a bbq (keeping in mind that it wouldn't be too tall to
close the lid.)

intense flavor and tenderness in every meal. Suitable for any cooking

That's a lovelyt looking piece, Dee, but I do wonder two things. Could you
actually barbeque in it, and is it large enough for the task? If I read it
correctly, the capacity is only 2 quarts.

I would be hesitant to use it above an open flame without some sort
of diffuser. And contrary to the description, It most likely *will*
discolor in the BBQ.

Other than it won't heat up the house, it won't offer any
advantages using it in/on a BBQ grill than it would in an oven.

We have the Emile Henry tagine and use that over the gas to cook. Most of
the tagines now can be used on flames, electric hotplates, oven, microwave
etc. I can't see why you wouldn't be able to use it on the bbq. Maybe
check the instructions - sometimes they are useful!

I'm sorry about my explanation, which left a bit to the imagination.

I was thinking to place it on top of coals inside an open or enclosed
grill/bbq.

After reading the replies, I think I shall forgo the whole idea.
Maybe because the tangine is so mysterious, everytime I see one, I
think -- as Wayne said -- they seem so small as to cook much of
anything in them.

I appreciated all replies. Thanks so much.
