My beautiful Weber!
Over here in the Fatherland it has been BBQable for over a month now and various cuts of the bovine and porcine kind have been suitably grilled.
Mate and Mrs mate from Blighty inbound to the Towers (Turms? / Schloß?) on Wednesday bearing gift of a leg of lamb. Thursday evening, the heady smell of BBQ'd lamb shall permeate through our small corner of Deutschland that shall forever (well temporarily) be British.
Roadster280 agree - a BBQ is not just for the summer - Grilling Christmas large fowl with snow falling is wonderful.

I did make the point that the season runs until Christmas.
My extended family all cook the Turkey [or whatever] on their Webers. It was the norm in JHQ because gas pressures fell abysmally on PutenTag .

We've had one of the wettest winters on record around here (which is saying something for an area known for the "Seattle Rain Festival"
), with a lot of wind thrown in.
But it's finally starting to get better they've got some nice looking pork loins at Costco so the smoker will be getting some action soon - perhaps I can convince the wife that smoked pork loin is an appropriate Easter dinner

Pork loin is fabulous on the BBQ ........... best if it can be rotisseried I think.
Good luck, and, by the way, Eastern UK is having a very dry spell, such that the spring gardens are a bit careworn. Our aubretia, of which we have a great deal, usually lasts late March to late May, but is already looking a little past its prime.
As am I.

Orb and man fire deployed and serviceable here in the borders to the Eastern Flatlands.
The "gentleman" along the road has a gas fired implement. His lounge is also incredibly well dressed with colour coordinated soft furnishings.

buttons.
Does he bowl from the pavilion end as well?.............
But he plays for the other team I understand.
Oh dear, it seems that the manufacturers of the manly black orb, fired by the only true fuel, have finally accepted that gas users need to have their limp-wristed apparatus available in the appropriate colour:
Perhaps the 'gentleman' with the colour-coordinated soft furnishings already has one though?

I don't think that is in fact the style of apron that such 'gentlemen' might find attractive unless I have missed some subtlety in the 'downstairs' department.
Indeed - the 'downstairs' area of that garment does seem to have something of a....Bugis Street element about it....
The weather guessers don't seem to have conjured up much in the way of barbi' weather for the holiday weekend, sad to say...

Yours very manfully
Doesn't count if you don't push back or after 3 days at sea as a Bootie once told me
If we aforesaid weather-guessers could make weather happen, we would always be right, rather than almost always.
[Beagle had to make do with our cast-offs and the B-team].
Happy Easter, victims.

Back to webers - I used some weber hickory wood chips (soaked for a couple of hours in water) and added them to the coals when using the indirect heat method to cook a whole chicken. The hickory taste was certainly there but the skin of the chicken was like leather, brown and tough - too much wood chip??
And I thought that you'd admitted to liking a bit of brown... ??
Chook has to be bone dry for the skin to crisp. You can faff about with a dry rub if you're feeling cheffy - using the beer can up the backside (of the chicken) technique also helps, I gather.

that's up the fowl's backside, as I understand it?
I am glad of the clarification by Beagle.
Relieved, one might say.
