Lithuanians are finally starting to understand that it's not just shish kebabs that can be cooked on a barbecue. "The possibilities of barbecues are exceptionally vast. They can be used for cold and hot smoking, frying, grilling and barbecuing various types of meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, cepelini, dessert and even ice cream," said Nerickas.
