Attempted to cook up another lamb roast + roast veges on the weber over the weekend.. Couldn't keep temperature up for some reason and ended up having to finish it all in the oven. Tasted good still, but frustrating that I couldn't get the weber to cooperate
Had a reasonable pile of heat beads which were all ashed over nicely, added some lump charcoal on top to try and bring temperature up but no joy - without ending up with too much in there to avoid cooking direct I couldnt' get the temperature over about 160-170.. Which would have been fine if I had more time, but I wasn't planning on this being a slow roast lol.
I suspect the problem may have been the coles-brand heat beads I used.. Burning out too quickly or something? No idea really.. don't have many of those beads left though and then it's back to the "genuine" heat beads.. Also got a few boxes of the redheads lump charcoal while they were on special at woolies..
