G’day
Now that I’ve seen a pic..... that type of bbq is the workhorse of the local kids footy club. Got to have a flat plate for Snags. But now that I think about it they cooked a bit of chicken as well.....least my kids club did.

G’day My first smoker was a home made mini WSM. A lot of these type makes used a large ceramic pot plant base as a moderator/ heat bank instead of water bowl. Reason being with no lower door it was hard to refill the water bowl. Tried this but not pleased with the results. Forever spritzing to get t...

G’day Davo

Mines blue’r than yours.....

G’day
I was wondering how to post a pic?
Is it dependant on file size?
If so what size is best?
Thanks.....dave

G’day Yes I think I know what you need. You have the square bar that fits into the motor. Then at the other end a movable piece that goes up against the bar support. You fit it up then using by tightening the screw it then holds the bar from moving. I can’t post a pic here and I’m unable at this tim...

G’day If you only taking it to 68C that’s med rare the pic reflects that. Pink but not rare Try taking it to 75 to 78C which is well done but still juice. Go any higher say 85C and it’s pretty grey and grainy. I usually put it on a warm plate cover it with foil and wrap in a towel and rest for 1/2 h...

G’day Temp drop on long cooks is often caused by the build up of ash around each bead letting less and less oxygen in for combustion. Result temperature drop. To remove the ash gently without resorting to opening up the bullet smoker.....or taking the lid of the kettle. Close the the top vents compl...

G'day Yes definitly I made it. It's a left over scrap piece of Tasmanian oak that I used to make the dados on a kitchen pantry cupboard. Was shaped by eye on a 100 year old heel and sole sanding machine. As I said you'll find the telephone no of the bloke who Lazer engraver the logo on you personal ...

G'day The handle was part of the tart up I gave the Q 200 a few years ago. The black paint is new too. If you have one of the older handles you could do an insert like this as it screws in from the back. Newer ones are shaped with no hollow you would have to make a whole new handle. Still it's doabl...

G'day

G'day Another fan of the airfryer. Frozen chips are pre cooked and oiled. I think the airfryer cooks them better than any oven. The results are just the same as from a deep fat fryer. But, fresh cut chips oiled and cooked in the airfryer are diferent. I really prefer them to frozen chips. They have ...

Gday I've got a home built mini bullet smoker. Long smokes I use a doz or so fully lite beads on the top of my load of beads the minion method. Dont do that many long ones so I use the coffee can minion on the smaller ones. Larger can top and bottom cut out. Stack your beads to the sides of the tin....

G'day Davo 6 years sitting on the back verhandah the end facing the sea breeze started to show corrosion. Can't fault Weber Ever other BBQ would be a puddle of rust by now! Did get the grates replaced by Weber at the 4 year mark. Paint is holding up well should see another 6 years out of her. Regard...

Another pic

G'day Being only a km off Morten Bay in Brisbane I got some corrosion starting on my Weber Q. The Q are powder coated so I decieded to strip it and repaint. You really need a strip back as paint will not stick to powder coat. I used paint stripper but you could get it sand blasted. Follow the instru...
