Bar B Que

[tubby_shaw]

Any body else big into the whole cooking in the open air thing :party:

With the good weather today and a two year hiatus due to working nights I got the Iron horse fired up today
Here she is excuse the state of the garden thats suffered over the past two years as well

She's made from old Soviet T58 tanks

Today I cooked Tandoori chicken
First turn

Ready to eat

I also roasted some beetroot
Just going into the smoker chamber

Ready to eat, the blur is my wifes hand :lol:

Any one else got any recipes or tips for BBQ ?

Looks tasty t_s :mrgreen:

Today, as well as the ubiquitous sausages and burgers I are be mostly cooking this nice bit o' pork on t' barby

In she goes

I wanted to use a honey cider and sage glaze, but I got vetoed :nono: by SWMBO
So the only additional flavouring is from the smoke generated by the other food that I am grilling.
Here we are an hour in to the cooking after I turned it.

One hour 35 minutes, nearly done :thumb:

All done

 

[Vossy1]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm :mrgreen:

Ohhh Crusty Rolls & English Mustard Please!

Some of you may have noticed my absence from the forum for the past few months, this has been due to ill health and the fact that we have been in the process of selling and moving house :twisted:
We have now finally moved :party:
There's still a lot to do but !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a lovely afternoon so I got her fired up

And as it's Sunday I fancied a chicken dinner, 1 chicken and the devestation left from smashing up a bulb and a half of garlic

And here's where the garlic went :grin:

And into the old girl she goes :thumb:

I'll check it in an hour or so, time to get some Huntsmans Ale down my neck :drink: thirsty work this cooking lark :whistle:

Hope the Ill Health is now a thing of the past :thumb:

Im pleased you have managed to sell and move house I am still trying. Got another buyer after the last sale went belly up. Going to wait till its all done and dusted till I look for a new home after the last sale fell through leaving me almost a grand out of pocket through not being able to procceed with my intended purchase :twisted:

 

[Wez]

Mmmmm good to see it back in action

Coming along nicely

Nice and warm still

lovely BBQ - is it a self built gas BBQ??

I'd love to make one!! The amount the charge for them in the shops is criminal!!

 

[tubby_shaw]

Gas? :wha:
Gas :nono:
I know how to light and maintain a fire :lol:
It burns charcoal or wood and imparts a wonderful flavour to anything cooked on or in it :thumb:
I didn't build it was bought as a present about7 or 8 years ago, it gets a clean with fire grate polish once a year and it may well last longer than me

 

[Wez]

Having eaten goose from it I can tell you it's the 'norks' :thumb:

 

[Hawks]

Thats a great looking BBQ... :thumb:

Is it a one off, or are they still sold somewhere?

 

[Ceejay]

Ah man, I love BBQ cooking. I see you're a big lover of the "indirect method" which I implore anyone to try out. It's hard to beat a nice big bit o' meat cooked indirectly on a kettle or drum BBQ like yours.

That's some serious BBQ porn you got going on there! I'd love a 'Q like that. I've got a 55cm Webber Classic though, which does the job nicely :thumb:

My task for this summer is to perfect my rack of ribs recipe - dry rub and basting sauce.

 

[chrisp]

Likewise - I'm definitley into the outside cooking (and drinking) experience

Hers a couple of photos of my set up I took on the phone yesterday - unfortunately not cleared up too well from cooking lunch for 8 people :

The complete set up

From left to right - Rotisserrie type BBQ

Brinkman Smoker BBQ

And finally an electric hot and cold smoker - the new toy

Muchos meat and even more muchos beer :

 

[tubby_shaw]

Great stuff chrisp :thumb:
There's nowt better than cooking and drinking outside :party:

 

[BigYin]

That's some setup! What do you do with it all when it rains??
