In Thailand, these grills/BBQ's are strictly heated by means of Charcoal and to date, i have only ever used Beads but tonight i am planning on using some of my 240kgs of lump i have just aquired :lol: :lol: .

I have never had a Thai BBQ before ... looks similar to Korean BBQ? Are you serving a hotpot to go with the BBQ?

Good luck with it, and don't set fire to the table! ;)

Well, you are pretty right there. I think the Thai's adopted it from the Korean's. We have these every time we visit Bangkok so one just had to be brought back with us :lol: :lol: .

The idea behind it is,,,, fill the circumfernce with a broth along with what else you like then BBQ you Seafood/meats on the dome. All the lovely juices then run down into the broth which in turn enhances the flavour of it.

Its a really fun way of cooking.

Aha! So that's how it works! Would love to try it, but not aware of any Thai restaurants here that do that.

In Thailand of course :lol: :lol: :lol: but it didnt take me long to find one online http://www.mamanoodles.com/cooking-equi ... 30-cm.html
That one however does not look as good (quality wise) as mine. Not sure if i like the top of it as its Aluminium where mine is steel. Better for the heat i think :D

A bit of that came out (10%) and was transfered over to the Tom Yum Hot Pots.

When i first started using this years ago, the first few cooks were distasterised because i didnt have enough heat :oops: . You want to sear the meat, not stew it. A handfull of beads just dosent cut it :twisted: and that was what i used. I then started filling it up to the breather holes then Pyrimiding the beads to the underneath side of the dome for better results.

The main reason you need high heat is the Broth around the outside which acts as a massive heat sink. As you cook, you are constantly taking the meats from the BBQ to your bowl and then some noodles and soup. The soup then needs to be replentished with some fresh stuff which of course is not boiling to begin with which then acts further as a heat sink :wink: :wink:

The Charcoal used for last nights cook worked out prefect :wink: :wink:

Yeh, i might have to start using that policy as well. No,, it pisses me off as there was some effort indeed spent setting this up :x :x :x

Yes it was but let the photos of the cook convince you otherwise. I cant see any burnt meat/Prawns 8) 8) 8)
