The BBQing, Grillin, Smoking Mega Thread

[DrWilly]

My brother and his kids visited us.


start with some snacks, a charcuterie if you will.

So fire up the gasser, burn some beef and add potato’s and salad and everyone will be happy.

The XXXX Gold is a mid strength beer that’s not bad (I was driving, so had to go slow)

stunning skies.

What's the sheet the meat is sat on?

Man on Man DW...that's some beef on the grill. Cheers

It’s a heat mat to keep the grill clean…I’m not convinced. I did cook the beef till it caramelized and got some colour, but I like a flame grill taste.

Used the offset smoker yesterday to smoke 5 kgs of pork shoulder to make pulled pork tacos with a mango salsa.

Happy Holidays DW. Living the good life. Grilling while enjoying a beer or 4 or 5.

They all look similar to that.

Most horizontal offset smokers have a similar construction—a lidded barrel-shaped or box-like smoking/cooking chamber with a firebox connected slightly lower to one end (hence the name “offset”) and a chimney rising from the other. In some models the firebox is in the back.


....


You build a wood or charcoal and wood-enhanced fire in the firebox, so the heat is next to (not directly under) the meat. The heat and smoke flow through a portal into the cook chamber where they circulate around the food and exit through the chimney. This flow of hot air and wood smoke is one of the defining features of the offset smoker, producing ribs and pork shoulders with deep red smoke rings and briskets with exceptionally crisp “bark” (crust).

Damn Willy, I thought you lived in a high rise? Where did you come into all the smokers?

[DrWilly]

Shared BBQ facilities. And I smoke on the balcony or my mate’s place.

Nice job DW. Rain or not, the grilling happens.

The rain was a bit grim in the morning but it cleared up in the afternoon. The kids ended up going for a swim.

But we were going to grill rain, hail or shine!
