Nice one Charlie, temp here same but am in Wales without Weber just now so consoled myself with some dead pig for breakfast, the type that used to have a face and a Momma .....

And from HK - BBQ fired up yesterday on bow of timber Junk (the ONLY reason why it is gas powered) for partial cremation of bovine tenderloin. Finished off by searing with a blow torch and accompanied by a 98 Paulliac.

Some strange green things on the plate also - peas - I was told. I thought you snorted 'em.

Been overseas for a few years and the trusty old Weber has been in storage during that time. She was starting to look a bit rusty and well used last time we met and I was considering her fate. However, managed to buy a new grill for my One Touch for 17 US$ last week and now there must be another 10 years in the old girl yet.

Gas is great and very convenient but you just don't get that man/fire thing without charcoal. Anyway, as a mate told me recently, you'd be selling your soul to the devil if you switched now.

You may have seen this before but it did the rounds in work last year and made me smile........

Perhaps. But it's gay! It even goes 'poof' when it's lit!


......but you just don't get that man/fire thing without charcoal.
Now you're getting the message!

But it's gay!


Only if your not overly confident in your manhood it is... Otherwise it works just fine... It goes well alongside my smoker as I smoke my own salmon,
sausages, cheese and even salt, (yes smoked salt - a wonderful condiment when used on the meat one is grilling on the gas grill - gives a better flavor than charcoal grilled too :D)... But that would be all a little complex for the "Weber Warriors" now, wouldn't it?...:p



kluge 3rd Jun 2008 00:15

The gas is gay gang will be saying next that corn based ethanol is green - knuckle scrapers.

BEagle 3rd Jun 2008 04:58

Err, no.

Weber Warriors don't do 'green'! Nor do they believe one word of the bolleaux spouted by envirofundamentalist lentilistas.

Four star unleaded - the smell of motoring freedom!

kluge 3rd Jun 2008 05:28

Then I'll raise you........2 stroke motor and Castrol R 40 when the gas fails.

Solid Rust Twotter 3rd Jun 2008 06:20

Set fire to the pool one afternoon while trying to light the braai using lawnmower fuel. In one's mildly pissed state one dropped a five litre plastic container full of said fuel into the flames which immediately caught alight. Hoiked it out and into the pool in an attempt to extinguish it (Yes, I was pissed:rolleyes:). Set fire to the entire surface of the pool and sank all the floaty toys as well as scuppering the Kreepy Krauly pool cleaner.

Steaks were good and the beer was cold though, so all was not lost.

BEagle 3rd Jun 2008 08:01

Castrol R40?

Ah...the good old days of Methanol, real Castor Oil and 30% Nitromethane when I were a lad! In model aeroplane engines, that is!

Earlier in the thread I described the perils of lighting one's blackfellow with 100LL and surgical spirit. The moral being...DON'T!

Bow Inn, thanks for that link. I wasted an amusing hor or so watching similar clips on yoof tube yesterday, but the SA brai etiquette clip was great!

mystic_meg 3rd Jun 2008 08:21


Bow Inn, thanks for that link
Hmmm... I think 'Kevin' would be more comfortable cooking with the 'G' fuelled variety...:uhoh:

kluge 3rd Jun 2008 08:54

Castrol R40 indeed sir and its sibling R30.

"Cazzy R" has a wonderful smell of castor oil. I think they may even run Le Rhone's on it - certainly smells like they do.

Adds that certain mystery flavour for the Paulliac pourer.

......suffer the little Bambies for thy pleasure Oh Lord.

Solid Rust Twotter 3rd Jun 2008 11:27

Can't beat that even with a big stick, Mr Gainesy.:ok:

BEagle 3rd Jun 2008 15:23

Gainesy - truly awesome!

I bow down before thee!!

Gainesy 3rd Jun 2008 16:40

Er, steady on chaps it isn't my Beast, though I do drive it on occassion. It resides in my local where the Landlord is called, strange but true, Mark Webber.

Solid Rust Twotter 3rd Jun 2008 18:42

Have you tried running the beast on a red wine, brown sugar, garlic, rosemary and rock salt mix yet? Makes great crispy ribs and tender haunches and shoulders.

Save Africa - Eat a goat.:ok:

BEagle 3rd Jun 2008 19:38


Er, steady on chaps it isn't my Beast
Well in that case, Gainesy....

One can always get one's servant to assist whilst cooking a small joint of beef:


I gave him the tail, tongue, testicles and ears later. One mustn't spoil one's staff....

As one might deduce from 't flat cap, he is clearly from some appalling northern ghetto and hence quite used to gnawing on those unmentionable parts of a beast which no self respecting southern gentleman would even feed to his dog!

highcirrus 3rd Jun 2008 20:33

Er… actually, Beags, in the vernacular it’s ‘t flat ‘at, as worn when rattin’ and when not tramin’ Ilkley Moor bah’t’ at. At least that’s how I remember it from Church Fenton days, before the New World and barbecues were discovered.

Keep up the good work!

The presence of the bellringer adds a fine and fitting touch.

Surely an oxymoron?

kluge 4th Jun 2008 04:46

Indeed - a genuine immitation

Er, no, we just picked the bits of orange BMW indicator glass out of its bum.:)

kluge 5th Jun 2008 09:22

Sprinke it on the side and say its crackling.

Solid Rust Twotter 5th Jun 2008 10:34

Probably the easiest way to tenderise it, Mr Gainesy. Expensive meat hammer though....:}

Gainesy 5th Jun 2008 10:48

Its really quite amazing the number of people who clobber deer round here:

"Didn't you see the deer warning signs along the roads?"
"Well er, yes, but you don't expect deer on the road do you?"
:ugh:

kluge 6th Jun 2008 00:48

Probably blind deer - No eye deer

Or maybe even stupid blind deer - No f...g eye deer

Backwards PLT 6th Jun 2008 03:04

Lame, blind deer - Still no eye deer.

sittingstress 6th Jun 2008 06:49

I have been using a hetero Weber charcoal since 1990, yet I have seen one of these and want to try one.

Am I bisexual?

BEagle 7th Jun 2008 07:16

Dunno - your link takes people to a site which tries to embed cookies:=

But it's easy really. If it's gas, it's gay!

sittingstress 7th Jun 2008 20:14

Bugger, I mean damn!

That was definately not a Freudian slip.

This is the correct link and i ask again, am i bisexual?

Dan D'air 7th Jun 2008 22:52


i ask again, am i bisexual?
You could try asking your wife and boyfriend. See what answer they come up with.........

BEagle 8th Jun 2008 12:04

Uses 450g disposable butane/propane cartridges (good for up to twelve, 10-minute ignitions) (Not included)

Buy the gas-fag cartridges = you're gay!

Leave the gas-fag igniter connected but with no gas-fag cartridges = you're bisexual because you don't know which way to swing.

Unbolt and deep-six the gas-faggotry apparatus, add explosive fluids and fire = red-blooded hetero!

kluge 12th Jun 2008 05:37

Is the Weber bisexual ?
 
The Weber Performer® Touch-N-Go™ charcoal grill (aka “one’s Blackfellow”) uses a gas ignition system to light the coals fast.

Answer the following;

1. Is the Weber Performer genus a sequential hermaphrodite (in which the individual is made as one sex but can later change into the alternate sex) or is it a simultaneous hermaphrodite (in which the individual may possess fully functional male and female gonads).

2. To which category does the family “Blackfellow” belong;

a. Protandry (male to female)
b. Protogyny (female to male)

3. While some sequential hermaphrodites can change sex multiple times, most can only change sex once. Provide specific examples where you have experimented with your Blackfellow and describe the results.

4. Sequential hermaphrodites possess an ambisexual gonad. The gonad has both a male and a female portion. When an individual changes sex, gonad remodeling occurs. Interestingly, changes in behavior often occur before these gonad changes.
Name the ambisexual gonad on the Blackfellow. For extra bonus points describe the behavioural changes that occur.

5. Based on your responses to the above, answer “is gas gay” ?

BEagle 12th Jun 2008 05:54

Hmm, sounds like the Weber 'Bugis street special'?

Touch-N-Go? What happens after a touch reveals the 'lady' to be something else....:eek:!

That ambisexual gonad is obviously the gas-faggot dangly bit underneath the Blackfellow.

kluge 12th Jun 2008 06:06

I think its called the RADULA......
 
Not entirely unrelated.....

Banana Slugs are one more simultaneous hermaphrodite example. Mating with a partner is most desirable, as the genetic material of the offspring is varied, but if mating with a partner is not possible, self-fertilization is practised. The male sexual organ of an adult banana slug is quite large in proportion to its size, as well as compared to the female organ. It is possible for banana slugs, while mating, to become stuck together. If a substantial amount of wiggling fails to separate them, the male's organ will be bitten off (with the slug's radula). If a banana slug has lost its male sexual organ, it can still self-fertilize, making its hermaphroditic quality an invaluable adaptation.

Solid Rust Twotter 12th Jun 2008 06:14

Webers are all a bit metrosexual. They pretend to be hetero but you'll find them using face cream when they think their mates are not watching.

kluge 12th Jun 2008 06:28

so then the statement "go f....k yourself" is actually not an insult when said to a Weber user ?

kluge 21st Jul 2008 07:01

Finally the rain has abated in HK such that a BBQ could be held yesterday. It may even be repeated tonight.

The degustation bill of faire was:

- Home made Italian sausages made by "she who must be obeyed"
- Lamp chops
- Jumbo King prawns - al ajillo

- Rabbit food in the form of baby spinach, beetroot with carraway seeds.

All accompanied by lashings of cold San Miguel beer.

Simply marvellous.

Extra Lipitor was also available.
