Hi one one our posters (and manufacturers of charcoal) send me the following photo’s of the charcoal manufacturing process.

Looks like an interesting method:

1. You get some wood

The you light it and let it turn into charcoal (yeah I know lot’s about the process (sorry Peter), I believe the technical term is “smouldering” (cough cough I may be wrong).

The next step is to place the charcoal into bags. Hmm who is that guy with the sunnies?

A selection of the bags and some sample charcoal.

On a pallet all ready to go.

And that’s the story…

Just a small post (again)…

Our plans for Australia day are:

An Aussie brunch (snags + bacon and eggs on the barbie)
Followed by the beach
An afternoon bit of BBQ-ing with lamb.

That should keep the BBQ’s going for the day!

Well, I ordered a new instant thermometer for my good friend Chris (Urbangriller) in Perth. I should hopefully arrive next week and I will out it through it’s paces and blog a review about it!!

I’m also replacing my trusty Weber chimney with an aussie Heatbeads one (if BBQs galore have th new version instead of the “old” one which seems to be smaller. Again this purchaes will be celebrated with a blog review.

I did a couple of BBQ’s this week, ribs, pork chops and salmon (no photo’s) As soon as I can get my eye-fi to wor (which should make my photo transfer a whole lot simpler) I’ll do some more bloggin with photo’s.

In the meantime happy Q-ing and blog u soon!

My first blog for 2010!!!

Well the idea is to blog at least once a week. This may prove hard but I’ll def  give it a go.

A big change for us is that we’re moving to sunny Queensland (Noosa) which is great for my BBQ-ing as it is an even more outdoosy environment than Sydney!

It will mean that both my babies Weber Summit and Komodo Kamado neeed to be moved, good luck to the removalists! (photo’s of the BBQ move will be a separate blog post I reckon).

Anyway if all goes well I’ll be BBQ-ing more and blogging more.

CU all in 2010 (weekly!)

Well I decided to cook a chook this weekend. I actually prepared the marinade on Saturday and kept it in the fridge overnight.  I also wanted to use the rotisserie to see if it made a difference. Anwyay results and recipe (easy) below. Read More→

Well had some time today (finally) to do a blog post.

I have been BBQ-ing but just haven’t been able to find the time to blog (although I did tweet photo’s on previous occassions). Yeah I know need to MAKE time to do these blogs.

Anyway here goes, decided to try some jerk pork tenderloins. Went to my local favourite butcher and got 2 medium seized pork tenderloins.  Also got some corn (always easy) and some chestnuts (just to try them out). Read More→

We cooked some mussels tonight with fresh bread and a salad on the side. We haven’t cooked mussels in a while and decided to try a new recipe (using the gas Weber) for a change. In this case we used mussels that were pre-packed in a 1 kg bag (and cleaned); they were excellent! Read More→

Quiet weekend, so decided to have some chooks on the BBQ. As they were kinda small we butterflied and cooked 2 (no point firing up the Komodo Kamado for just 1 chicken?). As I wanted a simple recipe all I did was chop up some garlic, mix it with olive oil and pepper/salt and rubbed it on the chicken Read More→

Well we had a number of friends over for a party (about 30-40) and I had two BBQ’s going. Just the Komodo Kamado with ribs; and using my Weber to cook up some snags and some chorizo (they always go down a treat. Yeah yeah I made photo’s but haven’t posted them on flickr yet. Read More→
