Extremely new to BBQ'ing
Posted: 22 Sep 2010, 13:31
Hi, have just found this forum and needed to join instantly. The subject says it all!! So far all I have done is eat BBQ food, the idea of actually starting one myself filled me with fear. However, recently I have got into watching Triple D (Diners, Drive-ins and Dives) on TV and some of the food they do on their has made my mouth water so bad i want to jump into the tv to eat it
To cut a long story short - I want to make great bbq food like that - not your usual burgers and bangers. I have a kettle bbq currently that I paid £15 for in the sale, I now have an oven thermometer to poke through the lid and a meat thermometer to check temp of food.
Charcoal is my preferred heat source, and i have got some wood from the local woodyard for smoking but well let's just say my first attempt at smoking failed dismally (i did use a turkey leg from tesco as I figured try with cheap cuts first)
I am sure many of you will just look at this post and have a good laugh but we all have to start somewhere so any tips would be great (and don't worry I can laugh at myself too ) A field trip to the states might help
Cheers
