Mini Barbecue, Loads of Fun!

Winter is a cold and wonderful time of year. Hot cocoas, eggnog, and warm soups. Life is good. But many times we circle around to the same warm foods and drinks. Why not shake things up a notch? Barbecuing is normally a summer thing, but why not make it a winter thing too? Well we have the perfect thing for you! Worried about the space a barbecue may take up? Then this is doubly perfect, and at a great price too!
