gas

No.

Weber kettle

Yes

As someone brand new to BBQ, Weber kettle with a charcoal basket has let me do long, slow cooks and can get up to burger grilling temps in 15mins. 22" is massive too, it's just so versatile.

This.

Holy sheet this looks amazing. Couldn’t be more up my street.

Got a recipe for the chickpeas?

They're fucking tiny and take a million years to feed people if you're doing a traditional bbq.

Which kamados have you seen? Mines 24 inch and has a double tiered grill, the cooking area is massive, I've cooked for 20 people on it no issue.

I agree that you shouldn't get it just for grilling though, there are better ways to spend the cash.

No recipe as such, just made up to go with the lamb at the last minute. This was just

Couple of tins of chickpeas (drained)
Tin of chopped tomatoes
Tin of coconut milk
Couple of shallots
Spice mix ( I think I used a tsp of ground cumin, coriander and garam masala and ½ a tsp of turmeric, there might have been more but I kept it mild so the kids could eat it)
Chopped ginger
Salt and pepper to taste

Fry the shallots in oil then chuck the spices and ginger in when they've sweated down, cook for a minute then add the coconut and tomatoes, bring to the boil then add the chickpeas and simmer with the lid on untill you get the consistency you prefer. This took about 45 minutes to thicken up to how I wanted it. Chuck a load of fresh coriander in at the end.

The lamb was pretty hot so this was a nice contrast.

Started prep for tomorrow's late lunch.

Butcher had just taken a few goat out of the cold store, so I took a shoulder.

I'm marinading it overnight with yoghurt, garlic, ginger and a lot of grated turmeric, then will low & slow tomorrow morning.

The turmeric should do a good job of tenderising it right up.

Today's brisket arrived with half the fat cap missing. Planned to be my first overnight cook so gonna take it even more super slowerer. The rest of it trimmed up fairly nice afterwards so fingers crossed. Just chilling in the fridge now with a salt, pepper, garlic rub ready for a 10pm start.

If you have access to goat then you need to look up cabrito recipes.

I'm considering grabbing the pluck later, and making goat faggots, although I'll probably use some pork belly too.

Inspired by this thread I picked up a charcoal bbq today.

• Halumi & melon
  Cauliflower
  A tired sweet pepper
  Cod loin with smoked paprika
  Jerseys
  Yogurt and dill
  Bananas on the dying embers

Looks good, those disposable BBQs can be a right handful sometimes but looks like you hit it spot on!

I think not having anything too fatty helped. The food is always so close to the coals that if you have stuff like sausages or pork chops you end up with a roaring inferno.

We were over a mates while our floor dries and it seemed too nice a day not to.

Went for a quick sausages, steak and halloumi today. Not quite sure why but can never quite seem to get this little barbecue the right temperature.

9 hours in. Temp held great overnight at 230f but a tiny bit of pooling meant internal temp 145ish in the middle but 170 in the point and flat. Barks not fully set in that middle section either so cranking it up a little and hopefully be able to wrap it in an hour or two.

edit: 11 hours in, wrapped and draped in tallow. Running a little low on charcoal but it's shrunk up a fair bit already so hopefully any stall from here is short-lived.

edit2: 12 hours, up to 190f internal. Almost there!

edit3: 13 hours, 10 mins. Probing like butter at 208f all over. In the coolbox resting now, juicy pics in a few hours hopefully!

Nice! Thanks man.

Evening all. I’m looking for a new charcoal barbecue. Preferably table top so it doesn’t take up too much space when it’s in storage but also big enough to cook for a family.

I’m not sure if I’d get into the whole 12 hour cooking of stuff but it would be good if it was an option.

Any recommendations would be helpful.

Where are the pics goddamit?

Haha, I'll try to sort a video to show the jiggle.

Hope these'll do in the meantime. Good slicer was AWOL so bread knife shredded the bark a little.

Amazing!!

Oh yeah baby

Let’s gooooo.

Great work.

I’m looking at this bbq, seems to fit my needs.

Is it too hot or too cold?

First BBQ day. I can get a pretty decent discount through work, but is there any big reason why I'd really pick the Weber over the Landmann? Size is thereabouts the same.
