Thanks HJI,
Glad you all liked it. Cedar planked chicken fillets is also nice. Use Thigh pieces.

Call Weber Australia and ask them.
The salesman may be trying to sell you old stock.

Re: Hello everyone

Hi
Brining with a mixture of salt and sodium nitrate will allow you to store it in the fridge for days in a ziplock bag. What I normally will do when there is a change in plans is to vacuum seal it.
It was an old way of preserving meat.

Re: Versatility of smaller units?

Grill Pro should make it clear that he is the Australian Importer/ Distributor of Louisiana pellet grills so his sales pitch above may be bias. Ask any pellet grill importer / Distibutor and they will tell you why there’s is the best. You are better off getting recommendations from end users. I foun...

Re: Gourmet Brined Chicken

You can leave the mustard powder out if you like. It should be a teaspoon. You are better off using powdered herbs and spices in the brine so they will dissolve or partly dissolve so that the brine will carry them in. Rubs really only add dds molflavours to the outside of the meat or down to the dep...

Re: Gourmet Brined Chicken

Hi Gurilla, Captain here. You can do just the brine, sugar, salt and water. Then add a rub. Best is to add herbs and spices to the basic brine for 5 hours then roast it, use some smoke chips if you want a smoky flavour. Different woods give a different profile. If you use too many herbs and spices w...

Re: What makes a 'good' and 'great' BBQ?

When seasoning with salt, what is involved Captain? Is it just sprinkling the salt over the meat prior to bbqing? Basically yes. I use the Jamie Oliver method and sprinkle a pinch full from a height. Works for me. I own one Weber Family Q and love it. If I owned more than one, let alone 10, I would...

Re: New Comer , Gas newbee looking for help.

I should add that the BBQ is only the tool, it becomes great by the user. Of course it is always great to start off with good new tools. As you are charcoal man from way back, I suspect that you would be able to make your BBQ sing.

Re: New Comer , Gas newbee looking for help.

I would rather have a second hand turbo than an el-cheap from Bunnings.
The Turbo is better than most and $200 is a good price.

Re: WSM v Weber Kettle

Hi Captain Cook, Thanks for the welcome, and for your reply to my question. I can see now that the WSM alone wont be able to do everything that i am after. Does the kettle limit the type of cuts that you can cook "low and slow" due to having to keep the meat away from the direct heat? Wha...
