Re: Where to get charcoal

What size do I want?

Or should I ask what size do you use for different styles of cooking?

What about their sawdust and coconut briquettes? What are they used for and are they any good?

Where to get charcoal

Hi All,

Have allways used heatbeads in the OTS. Thinking about giving charcoal a go.

I'm in Newcastle - has anybody got any tips on where to get charcoal?

What types, sizes, brands, should I look at?

Where do I start?

Re: Charcoal vs. Gas

Thanks for the posts. Confirmed my thoughts - love the OTS but it is more about having the time to play with my food than convienence. Have been looking at the posts on "grilling" on a pellet smoker.... think I will need to consider this some more. It's a shame there isn't a gasser/pellet ...

Re: Is the Weber Q Rotisserie here?

Looks like fun, I've got the rotisserie for the OTS and while it is great fun and makes for a good event, I would argue that the indirect cooking approach that weber use really makes no difference in flavour of the final products (in my experience) when you compare indirect roasting to (weber's advi...

Re: First Pizza on the Q

When only cooking for my husband and I, I cook my pizza in a 17 inch Lodge cast iron skillet over direct heat for a few minutes and indirect heat for another 5-10. Oh, and on very high. No fuss, works perfectly every time.... And I mean perfect. I have a large wood fired pizza oven and can honestly...

My name is Anthony. I am Australian. (currently residing in Newcastle) And I am a Asador (well I aspire to be one). The statement above will probably not make any sense to you unless you have seen this video. (Note contains a couple of scenes of turning cow into meat which may distress some people) ...

Charcoal vs. Gas

Hi All, The old question of looking for a new gasser and which one to get. - Or do I want a gasser at all? There seems to be a big following for the Weber Q series bbq's on this forum and I think the number of posts on this forum (and elsewhere) extolling its virtues has sold me. Almost.... I get th...
