Well with this weekend looking like it could be a belter for much of the UK, I'd like to hear everyone's favourite BBQ tips, e.g.:
- what lighter
- what fuel
- what BBQ
- what food
We'll certainly be getting our barbeque out this weekend and cooking copious amounts of meat, usually well-seasoned steak, chicken breasts and some nice Jimmy's farm sausages (not much to look at but very meaty and flavoursome). This is normally accompanied by a Ceasar or cold potato and feta salad, some garlic bread, and about twenty various bottles of sauce (Jack Daniels BBQ flavour...mmm).
Kit-wise, I use:
- Weber One Touch 57cm charcoal BBQ with Weber BBQ tool set
- Weber paraffin-type lighter blocks
- A chimney to help stack the coals so as to get the coals hot faster
- Tesco briquettes, whatever's on the shelf...not sure they're that great but how much difference is there between one briquette and another?
I maintain that you can't beat the charcoal grill flavour, but gas-worshippers claim that the same flavour can be obtained with less fuss via wood chips etc.! Not convinced!
Finally, I think it's appropriate to post this; old but good:
BBQ RULES
When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand
(4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
(5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.
(7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
(8 The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
(9)After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
(10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed 'her night off.' And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women....
