Thanks, I have to order some stuff from there, some interesting cuts and some big steaks.

After payday I see a 1kilo porterhouse incoming.

Oh and I need to try that brisket on the bone, on the bbq.

And
rump cap
Short ribs
The butchers dog
Pork butt, wow someone who actually does US cuts.

I'll see how I get on at the weekend :)


On a different BBQ note - anyone got any ideas on storing drinks and whatnot? I'm going to be BBQing for about 50 people in August and I don't have a big fridge. I could probably fit in a bit of drink but I was wondering about some cool boxes to keep drink in for during the day and rotate things as the day goes on. Any ideas? Or am I just as well off getting some basic buckets + ice?
 
The big garden bucket things. Full of water, then fill some containers with water and freeze them, drop them in.

These things about £7 from supermarket a few of them.

Ah cool (excuse the pun)! I might get some dry ice shipped in too, would be a bit more interesting than ice, although I expect some idiot will burn themselves when drunk! Would also mean I can make instant ice cream too!
 
I also use those big containers, with some of the frozen ice packs for cool bags dumped in. You can also chuck in ice cubes from the supermarket, though I keep them in the bags rather than pour the ice cubes out (stay frozen a bit longer).
 
Oh god, that ELSco has to many cool things. Just had a look and just the stuff I really want £186, I can see me being poor next month.

60day ages sirloin, hell yeah.

They even do the entire brisket American style, albeit it 60kilos and almost £50

Why not? I drilled a hole in mine and installed one so you can see it when the lid is shut. Then use the vents to control the temperature, the barbecue is now my oven :D

What thermometer is that please and did you have any issues drilling into the Weber? We go our's last weekend and it's something I have been thinking about doing to it.

Thanks
 
This is what I got.

Underside, my friend added a washer under the wing nut. The hole need to be larger than the thread, not just the thermometer section.

I am not skilled at doing this or have the tools so I enlisted the help of my friend who is, he install commercial ventilation for big companies/government buildings for a living so has all the tools. He started drilling with a small drill bits, moving to a larger one. He made it look really easy and was done in a few minutes.

I have bought a small joint of lamb with the idea of doing it on the bbq.

Unfortunately my bbq doesn't have a lid. I guess I should cook it for a bit in the oven first. Anyone got tips on how long to cook it for so I can finish it off on the bbq?
 
Lambs like steak you can have it pink in the middle, in fact you can cook a leg from frozen normally.

Can you cut it up to manageable chunks and grill
 
I guess I could. I was hoping to go for a sort of slow cooked joint but realised that wouldn't be possible on by BBQ. May be easier to just do it in the oven fully and stick it on right at the end.
 
I have a 100% bbq weekend starting from last night.

I refuse to cook anything in the oven this weekend feeding only myself. Got a nice selection of stuff but mainly tuna steaks as trying to be healthy.

Having the charcoal starter thing makes like so easy no longer is lighting the bbq blood and sweat its just so easy.
 
Well in the end I cooked the lamb for 1hr in the oven- which was probably a little too long.

Still, ended up alright.

Oh and I used a charcoal starter for the first time. Big thumbs up. £2.50 from Tesco. Might pick up another one.
 
Just a standard BBQ today, burgers, chicken legs and pork, mushroom and pepper kebabs. Oh and the ever present corn on the cob (some with smoked paprika). Some left for snacking later as well :D
 
Some brisket today:

Pretty good, but not as good as last week's ribs. It took ages to get through the stall, and took 9 1/2hrs to cook even though it was only a 2kg piece! Got tons of leftovers too as there was only two of us.

Tomorrow I'm cooking a pork butt and rump cap. Rump cap shouldn't take long but I'll be giving the butt a good 8-9hrs. Only problem is, I basically ordered a ton of meat but forgot to invite anyone over, so if anyone is around West London tomorrow evening and is feeling hungry, get in touch!
