Chicken & veg.
Boned out chicken, dry brined overnight and then covered in kid-friendly barbecue sauce. Cooked indirect (using two baffles, and only half a basket of fuel) until ~55°C, then grilled direct for some colour and crackle. The veg was just tossed in seasoning & oil and grilled.
I want a bigger BBQ now...

In other news, my HeaterMeter is being repaired by a chap in Illinois, and I'm going to try and build one from scratch once I order some PCBs from China.

There's something a bit depressing about BBQ for 1. I hope they meet another lone griller and buy a Weber together and live happily ever after.

My wife being a pescatarian I BBQ for one a fair bit, I’m not on the Prozac just yet.
The barbecue machine in that clip was interesting but the food looked fantastic, and so simple.

Fair enough, wasn’t hating on the food, just that it’s always such a social occasion in our house. Good food is for sharing! In fact I recently bought this book after finding a chicken yakitori recipe from the author online.

Well that was a rabbit hole to fall down.
I'm seriously considering getting my local blacksmith to build a konro grill now.
Or I'll just make a ghetto one from bricks.

konro grill
Goes to show how simple it can be, the coals probably cost more than the bricks. But yeah, slippery slope innit! I saw Thomas Straker uses one quite a bit too, it's on the never ending wish list.
Whilst I'm in the grill zone, I can really recommend these Oxo flat skewers. Flat sided so the food actually turns and the handles stack which helps with my OCD drawer organisation.

Mu very first barbecue was a branded hibachi, two cooking grills that could be raised or lowered on a rear guide. Everything was cast instead of pressed tin, it was awesome.
My dad gave it to me after he had used it for about 20 years. -

Hot smoked salmon is the meal that is demanded of me at the moment. Tonight a honey glaze is being added and smoked with maple wood.
I love the Meater probe and app

There are some beetroot in the coals which will be served with some mint and feta. Will possibly char some mushrooms too.

Ditto, except dry brined & cherry wood.
As well as belly ribs and a shoulder for pulling.
No pics, because.

Lambs breast has been rolled up with thin slices of lemon, anchovies, and a paste if salt sugar, garlic, rosemary, thyme and lemon zest. Has been cooking sub 120C for a few hours so far, smoked with pecan for the first 90mins.

Progress so far
(Also spuds in pan underneath the lamb, some sausages for sausage sandwiches during the week, and red onions charring for a onion lettuce and pomegranate salad)
Coals are on the right hand side so anything on the left is gently indirectly cooking.

I've been given a cold smoker and itching to try, but I've been waiting until it's a bit colder outside. What's a good, fairly safe, meaty option or am I best to start with cheese/veg?

Sausages?

Is that hen of the wood or something else? Looks great
It will
Plus you get to make your own butter. I used to take some of the kefir when I used to make kefir and add it to cream for a few days and then make super tasty butter. But now I only eat meat and dairy at the weekends I find it harder to justify the time to make my own butter. But the spare buttermilk was useful for wet brines and making sourdough blueberry pancakes.
