*****Official BBQ Thread - Suns out, Buns out!*****

[UberTiger]

Anybody with outdoor kitchen areas for the bbq or is it just a slab on the grass/decking???

A friend of mine did the stone work for this outdoor kitchen area a while back. I'd love to do something like this someday

Is it Summer yet?

I recall specifically it was Friday gone, literally 1 hour of mild sunshine when I was dropping my son off to nursery. Since then I'm determined to forcibly engage summer mode by wearing appropriate clothing and buying outdoor cooking equipment

The excitment got to me, ordered https://www.wowbbq.co.uk/categories...arcoal-grill-57cm/17401004-7186~17401004-7186

Granted there may be some deals come along but I plan on using it this weekend. I'll be off to the local buthers to buy some slabs of ribeye for its inaugural burn.

Great choice. Got mine at Christmas. Top piece of kit!

Will I get ripped a new one (in this thread) if I buy a gas BBQ?

Get out now

 

[Psymonkee]

Yes. Get out. As the OP of this thread I have this right. I'm pretty sure that's how this works anyway

I've not BBQ'd in ages due to ongoing ill health leaving me with little energy for anything more than the very basics of day to day life. Can't afford brisket without le job

Do you already have a charcoal one?

 

[Welshman]

What of you have Gas pizza oven, Gas plancha, but a charcoal smoker???

 

[GarethSouthgate]

Do you already have a charcoal one?

Not currently, no.

 

[BUDFORCE]

Not currently, no.

Then yes lol.

To be fair I have a gas BBQ and they definitely have advantages, I use my gas BBQ probably more over the course of the year then my charcoal ones, but quite different uses really.

It seems like a lot less faff and your point about gas getting more usage is what makes me think about going down that route.

then save your monies and use the oven

 

[Welshman]

he cant do that outside though and an oven is electric...... surely a gas bbq is cheaper to run than an electric oven??

 

[BUDFORCE]

I don't think you can achieve in an oven or even electric grill what you can on a gas BBQ.

 

[Armageus]

If you could let me know how I can use my electric oven in such a way that fat drips directly onto hot surfaces or the gas flames and vaporises to create smoke, then I'd be very appreciative

 

[GarethSouthgate]

I think what I also need is one of those hot plate things that you see restaurants and burger vans cook on.

Might get close by using a griddle pan? Half-way house?

I’ve got two iron griddles that i use for steak etc, I’ve used on both gas hob, bbq and fire pit. Got them in tesco or sainsburys if I remember correctly.
They’re large and heavy (enough to cover a 5kW double burner on the cooker from front to back. Enough space for streaks and and veg etc on one.
The golden rule - heat up for 15 mins before so all the metal is up to temps.

Lovely day today! Suns shining, blue skies all round. Roll on summer
