BBQ cooking
I had my first attempt at cooking a joint of meat on my Webber 57cm yesterday and it turned out perfect Very Happy . Cooked a leg of lamb with indirect heat by placing the coals either side of the grill, with a drip tray in the centre to catch the fat. Added some pieces of wood pruned from an apple tree last year for a smokey taste. Cooked with lid on...

Mmmm, that lamb looks fantastic. Thumbs Up If i put that in mine I dare say it would come out like a black piece of cinder, so is the secret to put all your coals to one side and let it cook at the othe - so its not directly over them? 90 XS

I have been looking for a new BBQ since my Porta Chef decided to shed its paint one day last year and cover the steaks in white aluminum powder, after it and I cooled down found that the aluminum had turned to powder.

The Weber one's that I have looked at all have the silly small disposable canisters, do they make any that will take a standard gas bottle. I have looked on the web site but there is now info there.

My first BBQ was a Canadian I think charcoal one that tipped up by 90 degrees so that you could spit roast, found memories and scars after standing to close and getting the metal zip in my short to hot. Embarassed Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

Basically, yes Thumbs Up

For meat I usually cook with indirect heat;

Direct Heat - Meat is placed on grill with coals directly underneath.

Indirect heat - Meat is placed on grill with coals arranged at the sides, or around the edges in a circle so the meat isnt directly over the heat.

I cook my peppers with direct heat so the skin gets blackened and scrapes off. I usually always cook with the lid on.

I think the reason most people burn their sausages whilst raw in the middle is because they cook with direct heat. I always cook them with indirect and move them to direct heat at the end to colour them.
