Hi From Hampshire

[Longdog]

Hi All,

been reading these forums for a while and thought I'd introduce myself.

I've been a keen BBQer for many years but only last year got my first kettle style bbq (a cheap B&Q copy of a Weber). It was a real eye opener for me as I had previously loaded up an open grill with a massive amount of charcoal and varied the heat by raising or lowering the grill. Using a kettle with a lid and variable vents was a total revelation. Straight away the food I was cooking had more flavour and was much more moist than my previous cooks.

So, now I have a Weber and I'm using it at least once a week at the moment. Today I am just waiting for the Booker pork collar to come up to pulling temperature. I have had good success with brisket and the Booker ribs (both meaty and German). I also find myself knocking up tandoori chicken or burgers during the week on a whim.

So, that's about it. Thanks for all the info and I look forward to joining in a bit.

Cheers,
Phil.

Well I am aware of the concrete hard nature of basingstokers and there passion for BBQ. I was at Basingstoke rfc last Saturday and some lads had the Q on in the vile pouring rain undaunted.....and the quote of the day "err I can do you a burger, but I can only give you a piece of cheese to wrap around it as the buns are knackered"

That is the spirit gents go well!
Cheers
