362 Thanks Say Thanks

Update (8 Sept 2008)
====================
according to Lord Darcy, the instance number for two BHAVs ("Close Lid - Test" and "Close Lid") in MetalKettle & Char-Pane Grill conflict with official EAxian CT BHAVs ("CT - Fire - Start" and "CT - Fire - Extinguish"), so I changed the instance number to 1006 and 1007 prevent it. Thanks, Lord Darcy.

This mod add "Close Lid" interaction to the following BBQ:

1. Brand Name MetalKettle (Base Game)
2. Shiny Things, Inc. Grandiose Grill (Base Game)
3. Rocket Heifer Barbeque (Seasons)
4. The Hob-O-Chan 3000 Grill (Celebration! Stuff)
5. Char-Pane Grill (FreeTime)

This interaction will only appear when the BBQ's lid is open.

Put the files in the Download folder or subfolder.
