rusty_monkey - kindly refer post 763
This is a kiln and hence you can make your own charcoal in it and not have to put up with that freeze dried and flavoured excrement sold to the Piltdown club as briquettes.
So if you're somewhere sane like godzone then you'll be in heaven as it were. Fine City on the other hand
the ones I've seen have buffalo butts.
Hopefully someone will post pics to prove this statement wrong

The 'Live' magazine/supplement in the Mail on Sunday (16th May) had a review of various barbies. Not a scientific review by any measure, but it does provide some comparisons.
Out of 15 models listed/reviewed, only two acheived a 5-star rating ...
one was a 'Swiss Grill' costing £1300 from Harrods (!
) - but it's gas-powered, so doesn't really count; and the other was the Weber Compact Kettle costing £100 from Lakeland.

Looks like it's time to fire up the faithful blackfellow again! But I'm Bingo1 on VB...
(That should annoy 'crumblywhitemuttpoo' or whatever the miserable git's nom de PPRuNe is...)

I am sad to admit after five years faithful service as a steak and swordfish cooking device and also spending its spare time as a blast furnace my beloved Oil Drum is failing.
I am either going to have to steal another drum or else I'm actually going to have to spend money.....
Also Beags, what is this VB wuftywuss drink you are prattling on about??
Gas is for American cars and Pussies (unless its LPG in which case it goes in V8 land rovers)

My beautiful weber
Bought it in Cyprus - too ashamed to use it - continued using charcoal in a big tin. Got it home, used it once, got divorced - still trying to get custody.

Life's too short to worry about stuff like that. Wish her well with it, and buy yourself another one. Make sure you get a better model, and smile to yourself every time you use it.
Not that I have any experience in this matter.... 
Beer can chicken last week, flank steak yesterday.

I tried a few months ago but got no takers, as this thread is back at the top I'll have another go:
Does anyone want the later type weber ash bin (the one that replace's the alloy dish between the legs) I have one in v good condition and it's FREE! I'm in the Leconfield or York area.

Seasons of mist and mellow...and all that - one's trusty (and increasingly rusty) blackfellow is keeping the mower company in the garage until spring doth once more warm the parts.... Hey ho - where did summer go?
As an Ozmate once said "English summer - isn't that an oxymoron?"
Anyway, I hope the kipper fleet mates will still have an opportunity to go a-route stealing somewhere in the world after whatever cuts come tomorrow - the legacy of Trust-me-Tone and Incapability Brown....

Just had to wake up the Weber from hibernation while we wait for Medieval Housing Solutions to get their act together and fix our cooker (2 weeks and counting so far). Beer Butt Chicken still tastes good in Autumn and the Weber helps keep me warm as I cook!!
Well, here we are in the UK's barbi' season again, it seems!
But, sadly, what a lot of changes since the last post on this thread....
No more Harriers or Nimrod MRs, pilot training slashed, navigator training canned completely, dozens of WSOps out of a job....
...and yet there's a North African ar$e-kicking party in full swing?
Not much to smile about in Aunty Betty's Flying Club these days, so a few hours of practical survival training involving the Sacred Black Orb, bits of raw beast and beer a-plenty might perhaps at least dull the misery.
A question. When was the last time that someone was able to bring a Weber back from 'tother side of the pond in the back of their jet?

We still have some frames in the colonies and it is always the right weather somewhere on the big rock. Still fill up the back of our chunky chariot regularly with all sorts, but alas she not a jet and it does get rather bumpy in the clouds
.
But Beags VB (very bogan) really old fella, try a little hahn premium or a jimmy boags, the beast is warming up for a Mc Charlie breakkie

Welcome back My Beautiful Weber! I have always found this a most useful thread. Whenever one's remarks on other threads in this forum provoke the comment that they have little to do with military aviation, I always cite the continuing existence of MBW as proof that the ROE are meant to be bent, as even the various ways of cremating food are permitted as a topic.
I should state that I have never at any time cooked a meal on barbeque, not have I any intention of ever so doing, but I defend to the death your right to do so, and to discuss it ad nauseam if that's what pleases you.
Good luck MBW - see you next year

Ahh the beautiful Weber; 22 inches of black glory. She's 16 years old now with a couple of minor dints on the rim and a little rusty in parts but she can still cook a very fine meal. Minor session on Friday for the first BBQ of the year, followed by a full-thrash event on Saturday.
The Weber herself has been rewarded with a new rack (I like the 'new' flip-up sides) a good clean, screws tightened and some spray polish for that mirror-black look.

(although it wasn't from 'tother side of the Pond, unless you count it arriving at the Sig BX from 'tother side before I procured it). A nice new One Touch to replace my then 22 year old one lost to me when Mrs RP and I split. I was just looking at the replacement yesterday whilst cutting the grass and thinking it might be time to fire it up. Today's local TAF 230/08 9999 FEW030. Maybe the One Touch would be excessive when cooking for one, but the Smokey Joe .......
Well, Roly, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm on my way to ARSAG, I'd be getting the trusty blackfellow out of hibernation today.....
....and might even have got around to cutting the grass..
Since the quantity of sharkhole needed increases (I think) with the cube of the radius, I opted for an 18.5" as it's fine for one or two people. Put the lid on and shut off all the vents after use and you can use some of the coals the next time!
Hope you'll be getting a new job somewhere soon?
