Why has this been moved out of La Cuisine?
Could a passing don plonk this back in La Cuisine please?
I'm ashamed to say that I had some of Asda's BBQ range last night and it was spot on! BBQ brisket in hickory sauce. No discernible smoke flavour but the hickory sauce was amazing

4 BBQ's and 1 had 10 people and that's all you could manage? Minus man points

So I fired up my new Green Mountain Grill Jim Bowie yesterday to do pork belly & ribs
Belly was pretty good - could have done with a bit more cooking (would have got a better smoke ring too), I pulled it out when it reached around 78C but it could probably have done with another couple of hours maybe foiled. I don't like belly to end up "pulled" though as I think you miss out on the texture you get in belly
Ribs were good - 3hrs @ 110C, 2hrs foiled then an hour with BBQ sauce:
Next time the belly will need longer.
I'll be using the GMG a lot more over the next few weeks to try brisket & shoulder, but really impressed so far. The grill doesn't get as hot as charcoal might, but it's so easy to use and maintain it makes up for it. The cooking area is enormous too - I think I could comfortably do 2 pork butts, 2 good chunks of brisket and a lot of ribs & belly. Good job too as I have a BBQ for 40-50 people later on in the summer!

10 ppl and this was it?
I am not saying you need to get ****ed but if you post a pic in this manner, you are implying that its a lot of drink, which it is if there were only 3-4 ppl there, not 10

Looks like 4ish beers each, plus spirits... enough to get me drunk
.This thread is making me incredibly jealous, but also providing a great source of motivation. The girlfriend and I are currently saving hard for our first house. We currently live in a rented flat. No garden = no home BBQ's

And..we're back where we belong. Let's hope someone doesn't move it again for no good reason.

Starter chimney works a treat. What i do it batton a couple small bits of wood add a little newspaper (or firelighter) to get the wood burning. Leave for 25 mins or so just enough so you can see the majority of coals are glowing. Then sling them into the BBQ.

As above, starter chimney is the best way.
