Cerberus Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Gas is ok for some stuff but there’s no way to get that charcoal flavor with a gas barbecue.If you are going to get a gas barbecue then you may as well make it on your normal cooker cover it with barbecue sauce then go eat it outside tbh.

Shotgun Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Charcoal grills are definitely the way to go but sadly, they're currently verboten here due to the wildfire danger. Propane is still allowed so we do our outdoor cooking on this portable doomaflodgie. We take it with us when we going camping, (although, not backpacking) but we also use it on days like today when it's belting hot and cooking indoors would warm the house even more. As others have noted though; there's a big difference between barbecue and simply cooking outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I also fitted a gas version of this in a house once. It is a Lava rock hob. Just the same as a barbecue but in the kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've piqued my curiosity, I'll be honest, it doesn't appeal but I feel obliged to give it a go. Usually put them in the tinfoil with a good dod of butter and plenty chilli and black pepper. A bit less chilli and pepper for the missus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what they did in Mexico when I was there. Or maybe I just made that up. Either way, it's the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a gamble with cinnamon as a replacement. Worked a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomp my root Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 While I mind, I smoke salmon for the missus, I use a shortbread tin with a bit of chicken wire to keep a gap between the woodchips and the salmon, lid slightly ajar and use a camping stove on minimal heat . Soak the chips for a day before hand ideally. If you excuse the pun, cheap as chips, apart from the salmon of course which has been creeping up in price.

Use either charcoal or wood. For some things I use an iron skillet on it, the missus being a veggie there's not a lot of fat in her BBQ options so it stops them turning to charcoal themselves too quickly. Just do the usual stuff, burgers, marinated chicken legs, steaks etc, tried doing pizzas in it (with the hood on) but its not hot enough. Working on the missus to get a pizza oven for those. Corn on the cob if best on a barby for some reason. 5 hours ago, chomp my root said: While I mind, I smoke salmon for the missus, I use a shortbread tin with a bit of chicken wire to keep a gap between the woodchips and the salmon, lid slightly ajar and use a camping stove on minimal heat .

Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I usually just cook my food in the kitchen then walk outside to eat it. Or if it’s cold or raining, I’ll stay indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Love a barbecue. Had a few charcoal ones, but too much fucking hassle. Now just buy those disposable ones. Light the bag, 20 minutes later it's ready. Chuck it in the bin when it's done, no mess. Sausage, burgers, marinaded chicken, marinaded prawns, hot dogs, marvellous. Fucking mouth watering here.

Fucking mouth watering here.Genuinely expected better from you! Get a gas one. Even if you think the flavour isnt the same, its still very good and seriously convenient. Fwiw, I imagine mine is a pretty standard one and you get loads of flames and smoke from it due to heat distribution plates above the burners so I dont think you lose much if anything, except hassle. Also, if you leave it on full blast for a wee while after you are finished, its easy to clean as everything is just ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
