Expert's warning over common barbecue myths that pose 'dangerous health risk' as Brits' grilling blunders revealed
The Range also says the fire pit is "an excellent device for heating and grilling" and can be used at the beach, camp, gazebo or poolside.
Safety when using a fire pit
While owning a fire pit is all about fun, it is also essential to make sure safety is a priority:
Supervise children at all times when the fire is lit as the steel will get very hot.
Set your fire pit on stone, brick, gravel or on a slab on decking (it will develop rust as it ages which can mark stone surfaces). If putting your fire pit on grass, be aware it may get scorched underneath.
Ensure a spark will not reach anything flammable.
Keep a supply of water to hand in case you need to damp down the fire.
Always use protective gloves when handling things such as BBQ racks.
Ensure your fire pit is out (or put the lid on) before leaving it unattended.

Using your fire pit
Only use well-seasoned dry wood to reduce smoke. You can also use charcoal (but not house coal).
Make a fire with plenty of logs and burn for at least half an hour before you want to use it (the first half hour of burning produces the most smoke).
Ideally, leave an hour before cooking to allow embers to form. You can separate the bigger logs to one side so that you can keep your fire ticking over while you cook over the embers.
If you're in a hurry to cook, add charcoal to the fire once it's going and move the bigger logs to one side.
After cooking remove the rack, load more logs and enjoy the warmth of the fire.

Death of a duck-billed platypus gifted to Winston Churchill by Aussies finally uncovered
The animal's fate was covered up to avoid a public outcry FOR DUCK'S SAKE Death of a duck-billed platypus gifted to Winston Churchill by Aussies finally uncovered Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE truth over the death of a duck-billed platypus sent to Winston Churchill as a wartime gift has finally been uncovered. Researchers found the baby monotreme cooked to death on its long journey to Britain from Australia. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The duck-billed platypus was plucked from a Melbourne river, nicknamed Winston and shipped off on a 45-day voyage Credit: Getty - Contributor Its fate was covered up to avoid a public outcry and when it leaked a few years later was blamed on shock from German U-boat attacks on the ship on which it was carried. The truth was uncovered by students who found the ship was never bombed — and the platypus succumbed to the 27C-plus heat as it crossed the equator. Researcher Ewan Cowan said: 'It's way easier to just shift the blame on the Germans, rather than say we weren't feeding it enough, or we weren't regulating its temperature correctly.' Australia, fearing the Japanese were moving ever closer, sent the platypus to curry favour with wartime PM Churchill in 1943. It was plucked from a Melbourne river, nicknamed Winston and shipped off on a 45-day voyage, pampered with 50,000 worms, duck-egg custard and even its own full-time minder. But after crossing the Panama Canal into the Atlantic, it was found dead in its purpose-built pen. The mission was hushed up while Winston was stuffed and shelved in Churchill's office. But Australian students got to the truth by trawling archives in Canberra and London. They found an interview with Winston's minder, who insisted the crossing was peaceful. Incredibly rare watch with historic inscription sells for eye-watering price

More than a million primary pupils go to schools with no male teacher as experts warn of rise in misogyny among kids
Just one in seven of England's 350,000 primary school teachers is male NO SIRS More than a million primary pupils go to schools with no male teacher as experts warn of rise in misogyny among kids Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MORE than a million primary pupils go to schools with no male teacher, The Sun can reveal. The figure emerged as experts warn of a rise in misogyny due to a lack of positive role models for boys. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 More than a million primary pupils go to schools with no male teacher Data showed that out of England's 16,743 primaries, there were 3,392 with all-women teaching staff last November — with another 746 having men on the books only part-time. It means 4,138 schools have no full-time male teacher, up from 3,865 in 2020. A typical primary has about 300 pupils, so 1.2 million kids are at schools with only women teachers. Overall, just one in seven of England's 350,000 primary school teachers is male. The Department for Education statistics show the largest school with no men is West Thornton Primary in Croydon, South London, with 910 pupils. Experts have warned of a lack of role models to combat misogynists like Andrew Tate. Christopher McGovern, of the Campaign for Real Education, said masculinity has become a dirty word in the 'feminised' teaching profession. He said: 'No wonder the classroom is shunned by most young men. 'But it's going to undermine the well-being and stability of this country.' Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has vowed to recruit more men.

I decorated my garden with flowers – then my nosy neighbour asked if I had died, it was mortifying when he said why
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HOMEOWNER was left shocked by the text she received from her neighbour after doing up her garden. After practicing her green fingers, one woman was left baffled by the reaction of those who live around her. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A Reddit user shared the surprising reaction her neighbours had to her garden (stock image) Credit: Getty She took to Reddit to share the confusing interaction she had with one of her neighbours. The poster explained the extensive work she carried out in beautifying her front garden, focusing on wild flowers. "I've been trying to make a native yard. I have several sage and monkey flowers, yarrow, coyote bush, etc. I also spread baby blue eyes and clarkia seeds," she wrote. While the woman admitted she had been battling numerous weeds, she was proud with the transformation. Read More On Gardens BLOOMING LOVELY Gardening pro's 3 key jobs to do this weekend to stop rose black spot She added that the project had "been a lot of work", explaining: "Each year I think it gets closer to my vision." While her progress had been interrupted due to various life circumstances, she said: "I've been learning as I go and my neighbours have seen me trying." From digging up turf to laying mulch, planting shrubs, and watering, the Reddit user carried out the entire project by herself. "I watched some die, I replanted at a better time of year, I spread seeds", she continued. "Many neighbors are encouraging to my face when they see me out there." However, she received word from one of her neightbours that people in the area were concerned about the appearance of her garden. 'I was quoted £10,000 for a garden renovation but did it MYSELF for £1,000 using ChatGPT to show my kids what single mums can do' In fact, some residents had even reached out to him to ask about the Reddit user's well-being. "One neighbour who is kind of like the 'neighbourhood watchdog' just told me that people text him all the time asking if I have died or if I'm a renter and letting weeds take over," she said. She explained that she didn't know why this assumption bothered her so much. "I live in an old neighborhood and the crowd is of an older generation that prefers lawns, but like all this effort and people assume [I'm] a renter trashing the place or that I've died... really?" she said. The Reddit user concluded that the lack of appreciation for her flourishing garden "just hurts". "You're doing a very cool thing - don't let haters give you doubt," one Reddit user wrote. "Put a sign in the front yard - 'pardon the weeds - native garden in progress!' It's worked for my son and DIL," suggested another person. "No matter what you do... Someone won't like it," pointed out a third commenter. More on gardening One homeowner turned their garden into a Bridgerton paradise with a charity shop find.
