Haha :D You can bring the beers EDIT: What are peoples thoughts on fatties? are they universally liked per se?

I'm moving an want to get rid of my stockpile of charcoal + meat in the freezer. What better way to do this than have a BBQ! I've got 10-12 people coming round in a months time and I'm wondering now what I should cook. I have a WSM 18" and a 22.5" OTG... and a Q200. In the freezer I have one...

I'm looking for a classic 'BBQ Baked Beans' recipe made using dried navy beans. I don't want to use beans from a can. I see chef steps has a recipe but it doesn't appear to be too popular. Thanks

Hey all, got a few questions. I got the 18" WSM and am more than happy with the results I'm getting from it. I'm doing a pulled pork for a 'Pot Luck' dinner this weekend (pulled pork goes down great at pot lucks and travels really well so seems like the obvious choice) which I have done before...

Today I made my first batch with a few alterations/additions (in blue): 1 cup ketchup 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon worchestershire sauce 1 tablespoon rub (ChefSteps Rib Rub) 1 tablespoon molasses 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce 1/4 teaspoon garlic...

I did a search here and saw that this hadn't been posted. It is the "Rib Rub" recipe from the ChefSteps website. Link to site. The following makes quite a lot so I only made a quarter amount. 150g Salt, kosher 83g Black pepper, coarse ground 83g Mustard seed, coarse ground 75g Sweet smoked...

Ah yes! I use that site alot but have some how avoided the BBQ sauce section !??? Cheers :)

Thanks! I like the simple concept of that Sauce No.5! I'll definitely give this a go within the week.

Hey all, Last year my wife and I traveled to the USA and spent a couple of months road-trippin' around the country. We covered about 10,000 miles and got to see and taste alot of things! During this trip I fell in love with American BBQ and since getting home I've been trying to recreate the...

Thanks for the encouragement guys :) I always feel there is room for improvement and try to cook the best I can. But at the end of the day if the food tastes good and I have a good time with family and friends then it was a success! :D I'll be carrying a tooth pick with me from now on too! Saw...

I followed the BBQ with franklin ribs video so was shooting for 275°F. Was a little under this for the first 30 mins though. I probably should have pulled them a little earlier right? And maybe next time I'll just leave them in foil when I pull them off to rest so they can reabsorb some of the...

I haven't cooked ribs before, despite doing a bunch of butts in the past. However I need to cater a big-ish party in a few weeks time and I thought ribs would be nice so I decided to test it out today. Now right off the bat I must say that it is difficult to get decent ribs down under (NZ) and...

Thanks. I picked up a 22 lb bag of my usual briquettes.

Well ribs are on special at the moment... Its a sign!!! Still got no idea how many pounds of charcoal briquettes to buy? Or how much it is likely to use? Some estimates would be appreciated

I'm starting to think I'll just do the butts on the WSM and the chooks on something else. I want to keep things simple and dedicate most of my effort to the pork.
