Hi,
I've been lurking a week or so and thought I may as well sign up and get to know you all a bit better!
Only really burnt sausages and burgers on a bbq before so I need a bit of help cooking something decent. I got a weber kettle from freecycle and stumbled across this place looking for info on it - really want to be able to cook like some of you guys now!
Anyway, someone suggested to swebbo (I think that was their name anyway!) doing a beer can chicken so I tried it today!
I haven't got a thermometer so the bbq was far too hot after I'd loaded it with coals (chimney + some unlit) and it was done after an hour! I could pull the bone out of the leg with no trouble at all,it was still juicy as well - imagine what it would be like after being cooked properly!
Anyway here's some pictures:
