Speaking as someone with an alarming propensity to jump up off the couch and potter off to the shed, thinking that I can save a lot of money with 10 minutes of DIY and available materials, only to find 3 hours and 2 trips to B&Q later that perhaps 30 seconds online and £15 might have been the more sensible option, I appreciate both BoB's ingenuity and NickH's scepticism.

Apologies for the really long sentence.

Apart from the B&Q bit, I'm with you all the way there .

Some time back I made choke/starter out of a piece of S/S flue section and some heavy gauge mesh(...I had the bits..and I had the time to faff...)

But I now see that they are available online for around a tenner..delivered! .

(not Weber admittedly)

I was halfway through a 69 word sentence. Two letters and an ampersand, a moment of madness I know, but for the sake of brevity I think it got the gist of the problem across.
