Barbecues - What's The Point

[BensGrandad]

Talking of Seagulls last year we were outside Macaris in Worthing and a seagull swooped and nicked a persons piece of fish they were holding to their mouth ready to eat.

 

[LamieRobertson]

went for a cycle ride along the coast today and for the shoreham to worthing stretch followed the beach cycle path for the sea air..that was a mistake ...every 30 seconds i hit the smell of bbq smoke..the only gd bbq is one you r invited too

What are you two whining about ? Barbecues are for real Men, It's fire and meat.

My Barbecue is my second favourite toy after my Chainsaw.

*edit* No wonder other clubs take the piss. I'm going to start a poll BBQ and Chainsaw vs Manbag and Hair straighteners

I'm with you, BBQ, beer and sun is close to heaven!

I like barbequeues. It's a healthy way of cooking, and as long as you wait until the flames die down before cooking, theres no reason for it to be black on the outside and pink in the middle.

Plus it means you can cook outside in the sun, instead of slaving away inside while everyone else is enjoying the weather

IF done correctly, meat on a BBQ, a proper one mind not gas, is superb.

agreed.

If its GAS its not a bbq

It is also the greatest form of leftovers.

Invite people over, they all bring meat. I cook it and end up with vast leftovers for the week ahead.

Counting the meat I have to eat this week (from yesterday's BBQ remains), I have(all cooked):

7 large chicken thighs
4 thin steaks
2 rump steaks
5 sausages
6 burgers(homemade)
2 chicken legs
Half a rack of ribs.

I've done quite well of that!

^ Rump steak is a poor choice to grill. Great for many other dishes but I'd not advocate grilling one of those.

Cooking a whole chicken tomorrow on the BBQ.

Ever think of making beer can chicken? Get a good dry rub and you are on your way.

I have done this in an ordinary oven.

Damn tasty it was too.

That was the basis of my paprika and ice tea chicken that I mentioned earlier in the thread. These days you can get contraptions to use instead of cans. I've not invested in one of them yet.

I know Weber sell whole chicken holders, but you don't get the flavour of the beer infused throughout the chicken like you do with an old-fashioned beer can. Or do you?

I don't know, you are supposed to as there's a tube bit to pour liquid in

Or can get a cheaper one that just has a space to fit a can in

All this talk of BBQ is making me miss home, meat doesn't taste the same out here. The Worlds End on London Road, BBQ Shack. Now that's some good dirty pit BBQ food!

Saw that earlier looks good was going to butterfly it out and make a marinade for My first attempt.

Fantastic.

If you have never had Gammon off the BBQ then I would dearly recommend it. Gammon is a heavenly food at the best of times and grilling it to the point of crispiness (not burning it is very important) is sumptuous.

 

[countryman]

I prefer the BBQ smell rather than actually eating the cremated bits of meat that it normally produces.

I had a BBQ last night and I didn't burn any meat at all. You just have to wait for the charcoal to be glowing, not flaming and put the grill well above the flame and leave lots of time for it to cook. Also, don't put too much charcoal in.

BBQ party sounds great
