None of the barbecue pits I buy work, no matter the household! Has this
happened to anyone else, or can anyone provide a solution?
Thanks!

In order for the barbecues to work you have to have a refrigerator.
They get the food out of the refrigerator and cook it on the barbecue.

It does not work like in the original Sims.

also don't forget that you can only use it for lunch/dinner
not breakfast

Thanks! I didn't realize it made a difference, and it turned out that I was
always trying too early in the day.

You don't need any matches or coal ?
I tried a grill the other day and they all stood around with hot dogs just
wailing because for whatever reason they couldn't grill.
A fridge is a necessity for life so I always have one - If thats all you need
then the location of the grill, though it looks to be, must not be accessible
for some reason.

The ground around the grill needs to be flat.
Try moving the grill.
If it will not let you put it one space forward then you will know the
ground is not flat in front of the grill.

Yeah I noticed that.
Nice touch of realism there, as who wants a wobbly BBQ grill.
Anyways I tried shifting it around to different locations, and still no
BBQ. Think I'll just get rid of it, as the non functioning grill seems to
cause alot of depression.
