Last week,when the UK temperatures soared, we had another BBQ using the 29-year-old Weber 22.5 inch One-touch, with lumpwood charcoal, and a very pleasant meal it was too! This year I have started using these
Weber kettle BBQ char-baskets, and have found them to be very useful for control of indirect cooking, i.e. cooking with the food not
directly above the charcoal.
Sit these two char-baskets on the periphery of the
charcoal grill i.e. below the
food grill, and cook the food in the centre of the food grill, whilst catching all the dripping fat in a foil tray sat between the char-baskets. If you need your burger pattie or sausage a bit more charred, just move it directly over one of the char-baskets!
The char-baskets are a bit pricey, but I still recommend them. Those with some decent tools and a bit of DIY skill could probably knock their own up quite easily for a lot cheaper?
