Last week I visited a friend's cabin so I took my SJS and GA with me. I used the GA for grilling, and The Smokey Joe for doing pancakes. I've got an excellent little discada which fits the Smokey Joe perfectly. The pancakes were delicious -Mark.

Weber have come out with a pizza oven accessory for 57cm charcoal grills. An interesting alternative to the kettle pizza, but it only seems to be available in Europe.

Recently we went to the beach on a nearby island, and of course I took the GA to grill some kabops. The wind was blowing a gale and the only place to shelter the grill was behind a rock. Despite the wind, the food was excellent - Sorry, didn't have time to take pictures Just when we had...

Mountain ash is a very common tree where I am, and I wondered if it would be a good smoke wood. Despite the name, it isn't related to ash. I wondered if anybody has tried using it? If not I may try burning a bit to see how it smells. -Mark.

I just got a new Performer, and have used it twice so far. Both times I used a chimney to light the coals, but I wondered if the chimney would work better with the Performer if the bottom, slotted section were removed to bring the coals closer to the flame. The chimney's designed to be used...

I'm just contemplating buying a Performer with gas assist, but they're horribly expensive over here - About $650 for the 2010 model, or I can get a 2009 model for about $550. There are only a few difference between the 2009 and 2010, but is there anything which would make the 2010 worth the...

I have to get one of these -Mark.

Weber have come out with this weird 22.5 inch grate with a cast iron insert in the middle: It only seems to be available in Europe, and there's another version with a griddle pan in the middle instead of the CI grate: http://www.webergrill.se/Yleiset-tarvikkeet-503.aspx I won't be buying...

I've been wanting to try cold smoking for quite a while, and on Friday I tried for the first time. Here's a picture of my set up: I built a smoke daddy-type cold smoke generator, and used my GA as the smoke box. I was originally planning to do the smoking in my WSM, but in the end I used the...

Since it's been nice and warm lately my Go Anywhere has been getting some use. I own an SJS and GA, but I prefer the GA - I just prefer the venting arrangement, size, shape and portability. It's shape makes the GA perfect for kabops. Here it is with some beef tenderloin, pork tenderloin, red...

It's been really cold around here lately - Not too cold to grill, but too cold to want to clean my grill. Recently when it was a little warmer (around zero degrees C) I cleaned my Q320 with a hard plastic spatula, and this is what I got out. Sorry it isn't the usual kind of food pic It only...

I had an equine meal tonight - My local butcher often has horse meat, so I bought a piece of sirloin to try. I've eaten horse meat plenty of times in salami and sausage (and a lot of people have probably done the same without realising) but I don't recall eating horse steak. The meat looked very...

I've got some back backon curing curing in the fridge at the moment. Going by the thickness it should take 6 days, which would mean that it would be ready on Wednesday, but I've just found that I need to go to Italy for a couple of days and will return home on Friday night. My wife will be at...

When I use wood chips for smoke I wrap them in a heavy duty foil pouch and punch a few holes, and put it on top of the coals - Nothing unusual there. However, I've noticed that quite often the foil has burnt in places and turned to a white powdery ash. I wondered if this is releasing harmful...

Recently I posted a topic asking about the sliver smoker jacket because I was thinking about making something similar: http://tvwbb.infopop.cc/eve/fo...80069052/m/331104682 Last week I bought some aluminized fiberglass and nomex thread and took it to a dress maker, along with the original...

I asked my wife to buy some ribs to smoke at the weekend, but she bought pork belly by mistake. I'm going to go and get some babybacks tomorrow, but I wondered what to do with the belly. I've read about curing and making bacon, but I'm feeling too lazy at the moment to try that. The belly is...

I bought a new Master Touch Gold (pimped OTG)recently, but the legs were very loose and would fall off when I picked it up, and the whole thing was just very wobbly. A friend who bought a similar grill at about the same time had the same problem. One phone call to Weber, and they sent us new...

I've been looking at the BBQ Guru Silver Bullet Smoker Jacket, and I understand that it used to be made of aluminized fiberglass, but is now made of silicone. What I wondered is whether the inside of the jacket is bare fibreglass, or is it also coated with silicone or aluminium? I've seen...

Hi, Infrared sear burners are pretty expensive, and I'm curious whether anybody's tried making one out of an infrared heater, like one of these: This model is rated at 4.2 KW (14000 BTU). Would a sear burner really be this simple, or is there something special about them to withstand fat...

Hi Everybody! I'm going to buy a new gas grill, and I was originally thinking about getting either a Spirit 320, or perhaps a Genesis, but then I read all the good things that people have had to say about the Q grills, so now I'm thining about getting a Q320. I don't need anything too fancy...
