You told me that was Teriyaki Chicken!

generally it's better to get the butcher to carve up the more unmanagable cunts

Gas barbeque is an oxymoron.

Excuse the farcebook photos, but today was the first proper BBQ day of the year. So BBQ on flat breads with tsiki, prawns and more prawns with chillie and that. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151123675441354&l=0fc46df91f

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

With the generally poor summer there are lots of bargains to be had if you'll need a new BBQ/Grill by next summer...

I know not strictly a BBQ (see previous comments) but if you'd got to go gas, a Weber grill is better than most, just ordered one of these bad boys for Mrs Obi's folks for half price at B&Q...

Plenty of good deals on 'proper' BBQs around as well.

Ease of use all yr.. = 60 uses at least this yr already.

All of the antipodes use gas as a default. I see why.. It gets hot.. I cook outside, on the patio. Family meal. Sorted.

If others invited... I can do 15 burgers in a go. 20 sausages in 10 mins

That's not philistine, it's effective.

[SamT]

Yay...

Forget all this calling of the lime crime. ...the barbecue has been called. .nomnomnom

Made the classic mistake of using shit charcoal, calling of the grill on full wack!

And a Leo Sayer once part a) is conscientiously taken care of surely?

I'm sorry, it doesn't count as a barbecue if there aren't any sardines!

[Falling Down]

Sardines and lemons grilled this lunchtime whilst gardening. Downed with a very nice pinot rose followed by a snooze.

B&Q opened at 7am, making for a quiet, dream-like experience - a bit like one of those daydreams after taking a just-enough line of special K

today's cooking experiment was to use chicken thigh fillets instead of breast for the satay sticks - turns out it stays a lot more juicy (probably fat) - 4:3 peanut butter and sweet chili sauce painted on worked well - warmed the peanut butter in the microwave to get it liquid before mixing

I asked for sardines, but Mrs Starfish got sirloin instead - WTF? anyway, the kids loved it

no Leo Sayer unfortunately - a 4 year old and an almost 2 year old in a small garden with a pan full of fire...

Close to a puntering for excessive sense of responsibility there.

I got smashed while cooking a £14 slab of hake on the barbecue. It was very nice.

14 quid for some ugly looking cod! you could get a wheelbarrow full of sardines for that. And they'd even oil the wheel.

You're obsessed man. Are you Eric Cantona in disguise?

[SA Chris]

Had infinitely more barbeques this summer already than the whole of last year (1). In the sunny back garden of the new house with beers and meat and fire. Sure beats DIY.

[Eddies]

Ive had a BBQ for the past three evenings 

[GCW]

We've got one of those and it's viscious!

We got a pizza stone for it, works really well.

[SA Chris]

Bad technique I reckon. A nice SA braai rule of thumb; if you can hold your hand at the cooking height for a count of 10 then temp has dropped enough for cooking (if you keep turning the meat). If you are losing temp before meat is cooked the weber tongs are designed for lifting off the grid, give the charcoal a bit of a poke to clear the ash off (if it's decent lumpwood charcoal) and you should get the temp up again. Just don't drop the meat on the floor when you lift the grid! (esp sausages).

[tomtom]

Get one of the tubes to light the coals in - work really well - when they're lit/up to heat break open the tube and spread.

Ah google tells me they are called lighter chimneys!

[fatdoc]

Right that's it... I'm calling it...

Tomorow lunchtime, 365 days ago it's was 6 inch deep snow in Sheffield...

It's Spring time!!!!

[fatdoc]

No one else?

C'mon...

I'm going again tomorow...

[Bubba]

It's March Jon....calm down!
