    New grill please!!!!

    I have a 57cm weber, and it's great - I do a lot of low n slow on it. I got one with the 3 vents underneath rather than the one-touch model that has the ash catcher and (which I have found from from using a friends) is more 'set and forget' than mine. I didn't know about low n slow bbq when I...

    Emergency wood.

    I wouldn't use it. Most big supermarkets or garden centres have bags of smoking chips in the bbq section this time of year.

    BBQ in NYC?

    Katz's is on the big list of things to do, as is NY pizza. (a few others also on the list - dumplings in c'town, breakfast in a diner, Brooklyn brewery and sampling some food truck grub. We're not big on Broadway shows but we love food and drink.) Thanks Wimpey, I'll put those places on the...

    BBQ in NYC?

    Hi there, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but here goes. My better half and I are heading to NYC for a few days in June. We live in Scotland and ideally we'd love to hire a convertible and spend a month or two touring the bbq joints all over the US. Sadly, we only have a few days...

    My BBQ Next Month - Help

    Cool - sounds like you've got it all under control. I generally keep things simple on the day, get your prep done the day before then you can relax and enjoy it as well.

    My BBQ Next Month - Help

    Hi Gav, that sounds like a lot of work - have you cooked large quantities for lots of people before? Can your smoker hold all that? I would practise any cuts you haven't done before so if something goes wrong on the day you have a better idea of what's happening. I've done food for a dozen or...

    Which types of chili powder do you use

    I have a big jar of generic chilli flakes from a local Asian supermarket that I use for heat, I also have an assortment of dried and smoked chillies I got online to add a bit of flavour. I often put sliced jalapenos out with food so people can add their own. Over the years I have found I don't...

    Greetings from Kent

    Cool, I have spent a bit of time in Wellington/Lower Hutt, and Whanganui. (grandparents) Must have been funny watching the whole country breathe a sigh of relief after the rwc11? I would like to live back there eventually and build myself a big wood powered smoker. Not sure what local wood...

    Greetings from Kent

    Hi Lee, Well done on the first smoke, the chook looks good. Be warned, this stuff gets addictive... Where did you live in NZ? I am a South Canterbury lad living in Edinburgh.
