never really cared for living statues as they are not all that entertaining.
prefer street bands or entertainers doing tricks.

Never really did see the point in getting a gas grill they are big and expensive to use!
I go camping alot and use natural material found in the local enviroment to cook using canp fires and ground ovens! And that you said about the gas being better for the enviroment is probably not true as the gas canisters have to be forged the gas extracted from crude oil in the ground shipped around the world refined compressed in to a canister taken to a shop and finally sold to you to be driven home to use untill empty and then taken back to the factory!
Where as coal is mined dried outdoors put in to a truck baged and sold the packaging is biodegradeable and renewable. Wood is renewable as is charcoal the enviromental benifits for an oldfashioned coal burner are much better and its cheaper!
(also the ash is good for youre compost heap full of good stuff for the plants!)
