All things BBQ and Braai

About £10 per kilo i think I pay

Does that sound right? Each cheek about 500g.

When I first heard about beef cheeks a couple of years ago. A Pp said he had popped into a butchers on Tuesday and ordered a cheek to be picked up on Thursday After the round. He paid £3 and said it was good size. ? so i suppose going up £2 ain’t gonna rock the bank balance.

Did a couple of beef short ribs yesterday on the kamado. Dry brined over night, garlic and pepper rub in the morning them 225f until beautifully tender. Took longer than I thought, about 8 hours, but they came out very well.

This was a first go using ribs picked up from Waitrose, will look and see if my local butcher can get me some more meaty ones for the next go now i know i like them

If you put a nice big steak in the bbq do you oil it first or just put it straight in the grill?

I always marinate mine in soya sauce for a few hours then brush lightly with vegetable oil just before cooking

I'd probably put olive oil on the steak but you could oil the grill grates instead if it is easier.
I reckon excellent results either way ?

Due to the persistent snow I did some Oklahoma smash burgers in the kitchen last night, best burgers I've ever made by quite a stretch

Quick heads up, Morissons are currently doing pork really cheap, just picked up two 1.6kg shoulders for £3 each.
May not be top notch quality but a cracking cheap cut to experiment with over the weekend ?

That’s a trip to Morrison’s planned tomorrow

Just done a couple of steaks for me and HID. Cooling off outside after a nice day, so ended up eating inside.

The steaks had been one big steak but I cut it in half, and even then there was too much. Paid €7.30 for it.

Got a couple of huge pork chops for tomorrow. Biggest I've ever had. €1.60 each. I do a honey, soy sauce and chilli marinade for them.

Yeah that's the one ? I just asked behind the butcher's counter for the biggest two they had ?

No pork in Woodhouse Morrison’s Flippin pensioners ransacked the lot.

Anyone know where I can get a decent porterhouse steak that doesn't cost £80!

John Davidson's do them for a decent price, not sure how big you want it though.

price wise I would say Aldi, they do specials on them every year. None in at the moment, when/ if I see them I will put a post on here.

Been having bbqs all though this period, gee was it cold last month sitting outside.

Built an oven that looks like a postbox and managed to cook a number of items like home made cheese straws, shop bought part cooked ribs, shop bought pizza. Spit roasted duck(a shame but we have to almost fully cook it in an oven inside) & roasties/sprouts on the barbie. edit whats happenned to the size of these pics









Still learning and trying out different methods of cooking the items slower on the burner.

Wish I could think of a way of controlling the heat to slow cook some of the stuff you are cooking on barbies. As the meat looks great.

Wow that looks immense ?
Have you tried having coals on one side and food on the other? Google indirect heat cooking on a BBQ, or fire pit in your case ?

We are burning on wood from the garden. Last weekend, as it was warmer we did let it die down and there wasnt alot of wood on the meat side, but its still cooking mentally fast.

Thanks for the tip of what to google, I was kind of running out of ideas, will have a read up tonight on indirect cooking. Sounds good from a quick google just done and hopefully the ticket. Cheers.
