I'm not scared of the challenge!

But I will keep on the lookout for some nice beef ribs

 

[GSVBagpuss]

Sounds reasonable. If you want something more forgiving than brisket then beef ribs can also be a good one.

And cheaper

Gutted! I dropped the lid on my Weber

The Enamel has a couple of light scratches but the handle has taken most of the force. Really annoyed with myself as I like to look after my stuff.

I'm trying to source a handle with the word 'Gourmet' on it but there are none about so I've e-mailed Weber.

 

[Maccapacca]

Just battle wounds why replace just for scratches?

My first attempt at beer can burgers, stuffed with caramelised onions, bacon, extra mature cheddar and buffalo mozzarella. Smoked indirect with pecan for an hour then grilled to finish them off.
Absolutely delicious, but I ate it three hours ago and still feel like I'm going to die.

YES Ganesh. Good shout. They're on my list to knock out too.

I did a BBQ yesterday. God Sunday seemed like a good idea at the time.

Did:

4 pork shoulders

10 racks of ribs

1.5kg cote de boeuf

Along with some sausages for the kids, bbq chicken drumsticks, chicken wings, corn and a monster mac n cheese.

Wife did a buttermilk and blueberry cake and a cheesecake.

Surprisingly a hell of a lot was eaten, too.

 

[FrenchTart]

Nice. All just for you, the Mrs and the kids, right?

 

[randomshenans]

Yea, felt like it this morning.

 

[montymint]

oh my god guys, all that food looks immense!

 

[nIckEl101]

good work all.... those beer can burgers do look awesome!

 

[CHokKA]

Yeah I've been keeping up with the thread this year I'll be off over to a builders merchants later this week for some sand.

You don't actually need any from a builder's merchant. You can buy sandpit play sand from Argos for £3 per bag and that works perfectly

I've done a few cooks on that in my Excel and it works perfectly, stable temperature of 225F consistently

Awesome timing given the weather this weekend. Be sure to post up some pics of whatever you smoke

 

[montymint]
