Treat it like a sausage, keep the grate fairly high from the coals and give it a quarter turn when the leaves on the underside start to char. You can always cheat when you think it's done and peal the leaves away from the end slightly to test. All in probably 15-20 mins.

A bit late to add this, but we're very lucky. A few doors down in the village ftom a superb butcher is the "veg man".
Interesting guy. A few years ago, he had £200, no job and spotted a small shop the owners were having trouble renting. He bought a very second-hand till, built a few display stands from old bits of spare wood and opened up in that little shop. Quite literally, £200 and a lot of love for his product. So, anyway, he goes around to local farmers pretty much daily, gets a little of this and a little of that, whatever he can but only if it's fresh, local and really good quality.
His first day he sold out and now, several years later, he's usually got a queue. You never quite know what he'll have, but you do know if he's got it, it'll be good.
Unemployed = unemployed - 1.
Great guy. Always got a few moments for a chat, and nobody minds. They might join in and you have a sort-of impromptu village meeting with people you've never seen before, but nobody minds.
It kinda reminds me of the thousands of tiny, local shops in my youth, before giant supermarkets destroyed them. We always pick him, over supermarkets. His stuff is the next best thing to digging it out of your oen garden or allotment .... wuthout the digging bit.
In fact, quite a few of his "suppliers" are allotment owners.

Your BBQ set is amazaing.
After many summers of debate I have finally decided to stump up for a BBQ!
I am therefore here to apologise in advance as I have most certainly cancelled summer for the rest of the UK by doing so...
Hopefully I'll be back on here soon with plenty of pictures and stories!

Which one have you gone for? If you're after a cookbook that shows what can be done I highly recommend this one (not an affiliate link so hopefully not breaking any rules) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meathead-Goldwyn/dp/054401846X
It was just a Costco jobbie but it looks like I have jumped the gun massively! I went on to order it after posting this and they've sold out. In fact, it looks like Costco have pulled their entire BBQ range!
I guess the hunt goes on.
But thank you for the book recommendation! That'll get ordered when I've actually ordered something!

Have a look locally on ebay for a Weber 57 kettle, they tend to sell collection only for around £50. Something like this with the better ash catcher.
They last for ever and you can get things like upgraded grills, smokersd, rotisserie, etc. I have 2 charcoal webers that are over 15 years old, a gas weber and a ceramic. Bang for buck you cant fault a well priced weber 57. Just make sure the grill is in good condition.
