Thunderbird Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Did you watch that annoying bloke touring around Argentina eating mostly bbq? Reckon the method of cooking a side of beef over a fire, looked pretty damned good and it took 3 hours, so with the amount of alcohol consumed during the cooking process, it wouldn't matter how it tasted!! I wonder who amongst us would be able to knock up a suitable contraption to allow such a cooking method. Neil!!! I didn't mate. Think a theme for May is emerging.

Cosd Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I bought a Napoleon BBQ nearly two years ago now and am very pleased with it. You don't meed briquettes for that smokey flavour, mine for example has flavourizer bars over the burners, the fat and juices drops into these and creates the smoke. I bought a gas BBQ for convenience, not as a replacement fort charcoal one, but I have to say that I am super impressed with the flavour. I have cooked for sceptics and can tell you people have been quite shocked just how good the flavour is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 If you want barbecue taste, put a decent rub on your meat and then make smoker envelopes. Get aromatic wood chips, soak them in water/beer for an hour and then put them in an envelope made of doubled over tin foil. When it's sealed, poke a single hole in the top and then sling it on top of on of the gas burners and put the lid down. Once it gets hot, smoke comes out and food takes on the smoky flavour. I do love a charcoal bbq but gas wins when you're strapped for time or when you haven't the ability to be able to tend the coals to maintain heat.

Cosd Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) I forgot to add, the Webbers and Napoleon are quite expensive, but there is a reason. Their cook boxes are excellent quality and built to last hence the ten year plus warranty. My one also has the option to put charcoal on it as well so I can use either gas or charcoal.
