The BBQing, Grillin, Smoking Mega Thread

Is there something wrong with your phone or is that cheese actually white?

[DrWilly]

It was an elemental which is lighter coloured. But the operator is also extraordinarily bad at photo taking also

[DrWilly]

He's not too far North of Willy's balcony though, judging by the lack of bbq recently.

There's been plenty of bbq...

Here's a bit of a grill up last weekend.



Char some veggies to make a salad with. Skin, chop into small pieces and a twist of lemon, salt and pepper.



And relax...

[armstrong]

Maybe relax after you take the sausages off the BBQ. Save them from being turned into coal.

[armstrong]

Yeah bet they kept you well warm.

[hallelujah]

Are they pork sausages, William?

How they heck did you spot that?Bloody TD CSI.
I prefer to tell the missus that they are a type of a Chinese chicken.

[Reg Dingle]

Gotta say,that does look inviting.

Tell me those menthol fags are the wife's or some brass left them behind

Cool name for a cheese

Empedocles would have been proud

[DrWilly]

Today being a Friday it as good as any to fire up the Q again. I like these coconut coals, they burn hot, burn for hours and are relatively smokeless.



As mentioned before I use a chimney to get them started, burn them until the fire starts creeping to the top. And then ready to place on the Q.




Australian Short Ribs. These didnt need any trimming.




Add a rub, this time I added coffee into the rub.



Halfway through the cook. The smell is sensational.



You cannot Q without a drink, so G&Ts it was.



Finally, the finished product.

[Stumpy]

I just woke up (5:30am) and seeing this I am wicked hungry and want to Q something. Nice job DW.

Little Ms 10 wanted seconds. Mr 8 didnt want meat at all, so I made him a vegetarian lasagne. Will post that in the dinner thread as it wasnt done on the Q at all.

Where are you seeing the fags

[DrWilly]

A mate's birthday yesterday, so bought this lovely piece of meat. Some lovely marbling.



Best to add a dry rub to this baby. Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, coriander seeds, dried chilli, cumin, fennel seeds, celery seeds and fresh coffee. Grind it then rub it and leave for a few hours.




Normally I'd reverse sear this using the webber, but we only had an open topped fire pit, so necessity being the mother of invention wrapped the steak in foil and heated bother sides for about 30 minutes each.



Cans for size comparision.



Kids had a swim while waiting. Then unwarp the foil, and sear each side for another 10-15 minutes each. Perhaps I should have added more coals for a bit more heat and flame at this stage, but on balance it was fine. Crusted nicely.





Rested the steak, then carved it up. Didnt have time for any photos. Everyone was happy. Including the dog.

[Reg Dingle]

^ Looks raw and that white fat doesn't look nice.

Nice rub though

[DrWilly]

Medium rare. The fat pocket is the best bit!


But how's these then? These were yesterday. A bit more traditional. Beef steaks, lamb steaks, sausages.

[bsnub]

Are you the only one that uses the pool area? Always seems empty. Meat looks great.

This was midday, most Asians prefer to swim at 7:00am and 5:00pm to avoid the sun.

So you were sweating it out over the grill.

Fortunately we had a suitable volume of refreshments.

Yep, they look good. I bought some minted lamb steaks for my bbq yesterday. It was meant to be 16 degrees but was cloudy and too fukkin cold and windy... you barstard.

[Reg Dingle]

This is my twice used q Willy, bought it last year

What's the chimney and air intake for?
