It has had a cover over since I bought it. Not sure if you can grill on the grates inside. As you can see there is bits of rust showing which is usual for all these types of outdoor fires but it will develop an aged look after several fires. It comes with a handy cover too.

Laurie from Birchville

The weathers warm but relax and have a good Christmas and New Year. It's that do-nothing time of the year again. Remember that sins can be quite amusing as long as you don't take them seriously or harm others.

What could be lurking in your pipes...

The Team from Wellington Water

This Christmas when you cook a succulent ham, crank up the BBQ, and tuck into some trifle, remember to pour leftover fats, oils and food scraps into the bin, not down the drain.

This Christmas when you cook a succulent ham, crank up the BBQ, and tuck into some trifle, remember to pour leftover fats, oils and food scraps into the bin, not down the drain.

#Fatbergs (clumps of congealed fat) clog and damage your pipes, and could cost you thousands of dollars to repair if the damage happens within your property boundary.

You don't want to start the new year with a big plumbers bill!

Watch what you're putting down the drain this festive season and keep fatbergs away!

Wasp wipeout - can you help?

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.

This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.

While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region

So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.
