Not sure Pondy, I've had my Weber for about 8 years and has been mostly left outside. Still works, not rusted, can cater for medium sized party crowds.
I guess corrosion could be a problem with cheaper varieties.
The Weber charcoal might be more expensive as well but it lasts longer in the BBQ.
Lovely day today - quite tempted to have a BBQ myself.

Numpty question maybe... but what makes the Weber charcoal ones that much better than any other make?
Apart from the kebab shop style accessories.
I'm off to B&Q shortly as it's such a lovely day.

Hey benes old boy, try marinating some steaks (go for 28 day matured rump from a good butchers, lots of flavour and tender, unlike supermarket produce) in mirin wine and dark soy sauce with some garlic, ginger, sesame oil and some rich molasses.
Leave it in the fridge marinating for at least day and then take it out and let it get to room temp before flash BBQing it.
Or eat it raw like I do.

cool good to know thanks luv
hey,
on Sunday a friend and family are coming over, will be doing the first grill of the year.
Friend is Muslim and therefore I was thinking, chicken or beef
Obviously I am not planning to pess about with steaks, and will be running the rotisserie
ok, we can put a couple of marienated chickens on the rotisserie
but, question luv,
do you know any interesting things I can do with like beef joints/steaks, I mean marinate them, pile them on the rotisserrie skewer, separated by onions and peppers etc and wrapped in tin foil for a couple of hours then an hour in the open to brown off
anything you can recommend for beef, what cuts to buy etc combination with onions etc for the rotisserie
thanks,
Milan.

slow roasting meats in the winter time
I've wondered about that too but isn't it too cold outside and the weber has no insulation
what is the coldest outdoor temperature you've run in
and what is the internal temperature of the weber while doing this ?

The Tuscan is in desperate need of a service from those good chaps at Racing Green - took the old girl out for a spin last weekend in the good weather - had it been a pedigree I think Charles would have put her down with the trusty William Evans.

Lots of parks and commons state that you cannot have open fires including barbecues due to the risk of fire.
Quite a few of the parks and commons near me are Nature Reserves so fire damage can ruin the ecosystem for endangered insects and other bugs.
And yes the police do randomly enforce them.
Nope completely different experience.
For one you get a guy cooking while you get to drink a glass of wine (or a bottle), and do nothing after you have prepared the salad. .
SH I'll give you that, it is very sociable, basically, summer kitchen outside, so from the perspective of everybody being together charcoal or gas doesn't matter

If you put the lid on the Weber, not only do you get the full effect of the smokiness, you avoid any localised cooking. Despite the low specific heat capacity and high conductivity of stainless steel, it is enough to provide the oven effect if you keep the lid on while cooking due to thermal radiation, convection and conduction.

Originally posted by russell View PostIf I had a garden then using a gas barbecues would seem to me to be missing the point, why not just cook in your kitchen if you want the convenience? Pure laziness.

You can just slap the raw naan on the inside wall of your oven - does the job.
