My beautiful Weber!
I've been lurking and enjoying the banter here for a couple of years so I thought it's time to chip in...turned off the Aga last week and we're operating with just a kettle and a standard Weber (charcoal). Still learning but did a great spatchcocked chicken indirect yesterday.
May have to re-light the cast-iron monster if the rains return....

Please feel free to point and laugh at the nu-wave faggoteers.
A subtle trojan horse, a minor hack, some snooping in COFFMAN's hard drive and I found this disgusting image.

Shame on you.

500N,
Thanks for your info, I will follow it to the letter. This venison is straight off the gun, no hanging. We have tried the fillet and steaks a la griddle. Now SWMBO is planning a full haunch a la webber. I will report back as to quality of the meal. Once again thanks for the advice.

OK then, good luck.
Just be aware that through no fault of your own, it MIGHT turn
out quiye as good as expected 1. Because it is just off the gun and
2. Because you don't know the age of it. Hence my suggestions
as I have the same problem some time.
But more than likely it will taste great
Enjoy, I do all the time !

Kangaroo is similar - easy to dry out because of no fat like some venison.
It's also easy to make tough so even though I like well cooked meat
as opposed to rare, I tend to slightly undercook 'roo.
Quick pan or BBQ fry is always good or nice thick stews with
plenty of veggies.

Spatchcocked Chicken
Looks good. I must give it a go.
BBC recipe here How to spatchcock a chicken | BBC Good Food
As long as it's not a fighting cock, all should be good - otherwise it'll mean a visit from the boys in the black and white chequered Omega.
That must have been the chook equivalent of The Scottish Officer, Courtney - it appears to have its head stuck right up its ar$e!
Gentleman Aviator
Six sausages wrapped in bacon, . . . . and asparagus wrapped in foil
Wrap in a spiral (helix for pedants
) to cover virtually all of the spear. Best to use that very thin bacon/smoked ham of Eye-talian origin (the name of which escapes me for the moment) or alternatively thinly cut streaky from a good butcher.I can smell it now! Mmmmmmm!
Coff,
A friend in Germany hit something similar many years ago. Problem was it was still sitting in the tree. The Speys sawed it all up, turned it all to charcoal and sprayed it all over the North German Plain.
BEags,
I hope you also noted the BBQ heat source.

Well the monsoon seemed to arrive a little earlier than expected in mid-Bucks this weekend; still, thank goodness for the brilliant design of the black orb. Wheeled up to the back door, lid on, it still performed brilliantly despite the torrential rain. Although BEags probably wouldn't approve beautifully BBQ-ed corn on the cob steam bbq-ed inside its leaves (why have the big supermarkets resorted to "peeled" corn only?) followed by chilli spiced spatch-cocked poussin and all washed down with a bottle or 3 of that fine aviation-related Kentish brew...
This cheeky little item is rated as flameproof. I will be using it when the orb is fired up in an hour or so. No need to worry about the rain.
I will state the Waynetta tealights dangling either side of the structure have a purpose. My daughter is blind and when she bashes into them she knows not to go any further or risk getting scorched by the manly, magnificence of the mighty orb.
She has made a mental map of the entire house. She doesn't seem to find it as amusing as I do to discover chairs/tables/vases have been moved immediately prior to her coming home from college for hols.

SS - perhaps you could consider some wind chimes attached to your, err, magnificent erection
? That might help your daughter to mind map the barbi' gazebo, before actually encountering the tea lights. A change of ground texture near the site might also help - such as some paving stones set into and flush with the gravel?My black orb is currently resting at the back of the garage; since returning from the Land of Bier und Bratwurst last week, the weather in British West Oxfordshire hasn't really been suitable - but it looks good from tomorrow!
And yes - it does seem to be more difficult to find corn on the cob in the main supermarkets these days, Roly....

BEagle - thank you for the suggestions. The Barbizebo is on stones and daughter does have a fair warning once she has left the lawn. Per Ardua in action!
Wind chimes? I shall leave that sort of thing to the gas faggoteers. I am certain they could place them next to their Sodastreams.
S/BY for thread drift - I have had a plan and will need some help. Please can all BBQers, of whichever persuasion, have a look at the Someone needs a bit of help thread?
Advice needed, thank you.
