Mr Gee
I was quit easy really, I got a DIY bar-b-que kit from Homebase (grid and coal base) £15. Then used that as a size guide for the brick work.
Layed two slabs on the ground and worked from there. I built it against a wall so didn't have to do the back till the chimney part.
The lower chamber with the arch was going to have doors on to keep coal etc in but my wife saw differant and put a basket and candles in there. The coal base (top chamber)was 2 slabs, i then built the above making room for the DIY kit.
I lined the top chamber, base and sides with firebricks to keep the heat in as much as possable.
The arches were put up using metal bars i bent into an arch.(2" wide 3' long and 1/8" thick) and the chimney part a just corbled in course by course.
Quite often thourght of doing this for people for a bit of cash but would proberly cost about £800+......WOW! thats alot.
Hope this is a bit of use, if you are interested maybe after a Surrey meet and you want you could pop round to take a closer look.
Thanks for the interest

Adam,
Bad news mate. Very bad. Really hope it was just coincidence, but who knows?
Have a good trip if I don't see you before then. I never did get to check out that strip club, by the way.
Had a great time though. Anyone up for a Spearmint Rhino meet?
Rich.
