The Big Off Season BBQ, Grilling and Smoking thread!!!
Posted: Fri May 26, 2017 9:31 pm
Greetings fellow cookers!
Being an Aust/Greek I suppose you can say that grilling is hardwired into my system.
A few years ago I stupidly got stuck with the last bid on a Cheap Off Set- smoker on Ebay at €200...
And that opened up a whole new world of BBQ.
Before modifications.
After much research and a few modification I managed to tame the beast and I was able to cook some very fine ribs on it but it's weight, over 90kg and it's voracious hunger for fuel made it a special occasion unit that only came out twice a year.
But it would turn out up to 10 racks of baby back ribs to porky perfection in 5 hours at 120°-125°C
in the 2-2-1 system.
Over the years my BBQ selection has grown with a natural disposition towards Weber charcoal grills that are so versatile.
I now have three Weber BBQs that I use all the time.
An 47cm One Touch Gold Kettle.
A 57cm Master Touch GBS Kettle.
And my newest a 57cm Weber Smoky Mountain Cooker which has basically replaced my
Cheap Offset Smoker (COS) at a stroke.
I also have 2m x60cm mangal type charcoal grill.
And a host of bits and pieces that have been acquired over the years.
I have to stop now but I will add more very soon...
