Rules regarding barbecues

[AuntyRinum]

I'm trying to find out where you can, or maybe cannot, set up a barbecue beside the Thames between Henley and Goring. The only guidance I can find on EA websites is a request not to set up barbecues on picnic tables. I have a widebeam but don't much fancy the idea of lighting a barbecue on the cruiser stern.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

No blanket rules that I am aware of. Some EA mooring site state specifically "No Barbecues" (the one at Runnymede springs to mind) but I suspect it will be a site by site thing.

We use those disposable bbq's pretty much anywhere except where there are specific signs to not use them, but usually it is intended to stop you damaging the grass
at parks etc... if used with a metal frame it shouldn't be a problem. Good place to barbie between Henley and Goring would be Shiplake Islands a great spot you can even start a
small campfire, Pangbourne meadows should be okay too, Child Beale moorings, and lots of bankside moorings on the way too.

Get a Cobb, the bottom stays cool and you can simply lift it with your hands and move it as required. We set ours directly on our varnished stern without a problem.

Thanks to all who replied. Very helpful.

+1 on the Cobb. I love ours - roasts, smokes bbqs, stays cool easy to clean.I put a pit of old deck planking underneath just in case, but the wood doesn't even get warm. Lid does though so be careful where you put that down.
