DIY
Now that the summer is upon us, people are taking to the great outdoors in their droves.
While sitting in the sun has its benefits in and of itself, there are few things more satisfying than tucking into some delicious barbequed food - like a smoky hot dog or a perfectly sizzled skewer crammed with your favorite veggies!
However, as we all know, unless you're opting for a disposable, barbeques can be expensive.

The final step in creating a barbeque from old tires is adding some suitable kindling and charcoal.
It really is as simple as that.
