Weber BBQ cooking

im gonna start with some simple stuff like wings, steaks and burgers. once i get the hang of it then i'll try some slow n low recipes like pulled pork and brisket
 
American style pork ribs cooked over hot coals, or American style marinated beef kebobs done the same way.....

Steak is great in the Webber, or a roast pork leg, whole chicken, damn I should really use it more:)
 
seems like too much effort to fire up the webber properly to just cook some burgers, would prefer doing these on a traditional bbq.
 
cabernet glazed beef burgers w, tasty cheese, bacon, tomato, cos lettuce and rosemary buttered focaccia

i'd definitely do burgers again on the weber, you can really notice the charcoal taste and even though i had to leave them on for ages because they were so thick they still came out really juicy. just make sure you do a batch so you have some for the next day, i wouldnt bother just for one or two
 
You can't smoke meat, since it's too hot (it's bbq after all). But you can get a weber smokers. I don't know much about them, since I've never used one.

What you can do with the bbq is add some wet wooden chips to the fire, put the lid on and add some smokey flavour to your meats.

I will say you are very wrong!! I slow smoke pulled pork for 15 hour + in my Weber kettle, Use the snake method. Google it - Also come join the crew over at aussiebbq.

Ive even uses as little as 3 coals when slow cooking a 4kg rib roast before reverse searing on the small Weber, The uses are seriously endless.

Grab a book called heat and smoke by Bob hart. Thats a good palce to start

Ive got 3 webers and a Hark smoker now, I use the small Weber GA around 4 times a week. The big one is for slow cooking big roasts and ribs.

Cant beat real BBQ.

haha i find it hard to not use my weber most nights. - I love the Go Anywere weber i have, Small, Coals are very close to the grill, It's the best one for direct heat IE steaks. but i have done small butterflied chooks on it no probs,

Will be Smoking around 4KG of my own maple bacon next weekend for the first time.

Off to Melb for the BBQ festival this week - Hopefully i can compete on day 2.

VIC people come down for some food :)
 
Ive also chopped down a cherry tree, Anyone in Sydney feel free to come pick up some wood if you want, its been drying for a couple months already. Its a lot more subtle then hickory, Similar to peach wood.

Mate try this with chicken legs - Its probably the bet thing ive done so far, over night or i just did mine before work, Cooked up at 7pm, Indirect, Then finished off direct.

ROADSIDE CHICKEN
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup veg oil
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1 TBS Sea or Kosher salt
1 TBS white sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp celery salt

Mix/shake till well dissolved.
I put mine in a old worcestershire bottle with the shaker top.
You can marrinate the chicken in the sauce for up to 2-8 hrs before cooking. If so discard marinade and make fresh for the cooking sauce.
I apply the sauce every 5 min to both sides and turn every 5-10 min.
Apply one final coating 5 min before removing from the grill. You can't put too much sauce on while grilling. It will build up a nice layer of flavors. I use the kettle but i think it would do well on the WSM (Larry used it) with no water pan and a high heat cook. I usally add one small piece of apple wood while grilling also. Hope you like it. Enjoy


EDIT: If you are going to marinate the chicken first, then leave the oil out for the marinade proccess. Make up a fresh batch for basting the chicken with the oil in the sauce

that looks really good, i'll give it a go sometime and post up some pics
 
Because of this thread, jumped on gumtree and now picking up a weber tonight haha.. Will be keeping an eye on this thread for good ideas ;)
 
Forgot about this thread. I'm a recent convert to the charcoal. Pics of a my first weber desert. Whole pineapple, soaked in white rum, rolled in cinnamon, sprinkled with brown sugar & roasted straight over the coals for a couple hours. Put it on after I'd finished a roast and just turned it every 20 mins.

Would have been great with ice cream but I ate it as it was. Diets are a bitch aye.
