BBQ Season watch out here come the edugeekers

[GrumbleDook]

I put Gas ... mainly because I am like most other SysAdmins ... lazy ... and decent gas systems make life so easy cleaning it up.

 

The other reason is because it is not always me cooking ... and I don't trust others to use charcoal properly and I don't want to relive a bout of food poisoning I had 10 years ago.

also i like my food chargrilled with the taste of hot charcoal of the nice whisky chips i put on it to give it flavor.as for smoke if a bbq is done right some is not a problem. my cousin is from auz still lives there and he swares by coal. he said in the park they have big communal bbqs massive things and all you do is bring some coal a few shrimps and stuff and if its lit he said every joins in and has a right laugh.

 

I agree with your cousin, Ive been to one of them when I went to melbourne ( the communal bbqs that is ) and had a great time !!

 

Well worth it !

Charcoal! Gas is cheating. We bought a BEAST of a BBQ last year

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3454787.htm and had an amazing world cup party. Invited about 40 people round, put a screen and LCD projector (perks of working in the IT dept) in the garden underneath a gazebo to keep the sun off. Luckily for that party England won, everybody got drunk and ate loads. Did the same for England v Portugal and strangely enought nobody really felt like eating or drinking.

 

Will most likely do the same next year for the Euros if we qualify!

Charcoal all the way, gas bbqs are for wimps

We got a Weber BBQ (big round things) a couple of years ago, and thats amazing, it works like an oven when you put the top on and you can cook all sorts of stuff in it. We sometimes cook our roast chicken in it, it tastes amazing.

Whiskey barrel chips sound nice... we used to used lavarocks and hickory chips in our gas bbq, they were alright, but it still didnt taste like a real bbq.

 

South african Boerewors sausage is great on the bbq, this stuff is the best sausage i have ever had. No english sausage comes any where close.
