For real...just need some alcohol now.

Disappointing if you've just cooked those and not yet had a beer mate.

It's night here bro. That's an image I pulled up from the net to add to this forum...

Yeah, I have a 4 burner gas BBQ which I do use for quick and convenient. You can still cook a steak better on the gasser than you can inside on the stove top IMO.

But given the time the effort that goes into charcoal cooking is well worth it. In my arsenal I also have 2 charcoal weber kettles, a home made UDS smoker, a homemade tandoor, a small rotisserie BBQ and a huge charcoal spit that can cook a whole lamb or similar. All of them have given me great joy and some excellent results over the years.



This 100%. America nailed this style of cooking and here in Aus we are just starting to learn about it. It's great that it's starting to get popular but also **** because the typical cuts of meat you'd use used to be dirt cheap but they are now getting expensive.

Great thing about the American barbecue are the regional style. Even close proximity states - like North Carolina and South Carolina have wildly different barbecue styles.

I would love to do a food tour of the Southern States one day.

Nothing like a tour around abject poverty and appalling diets

Yeah you'll happily pay $50 for it in a couple of years anyway.

BBQs are entirely overrated as social events. There's too much to do and so you don't just get to lay back and chill out. And 90% of the time the food is underwhelming. Love ordering BBQ when I'm out though. It's delicious.

That initial 4 hour period when we sit around drinking beer, and doing nothing else except vaguely considering lighting the fire is far too frenetic for me as well.

90% of the time, the food would be underwhelming, cos we have been drinking beer for several hours before and struggle to cook properly, if not for the fact that we had been drinking beer for several hours before, and are less... particular about how our meat is cooked. But huge slabs of awesome meat are still pretty good either way. The other 10% of the time involves someone showing up late and getting conscripted to cook properly.

Marinate meat with jerk seasoning(hot).
Let rest for 2 hours in the fridge, covered.
Start the grill with the charcoal going.
Apply the seasoned meat on the grill.
Let it do its magic.

Naw, BBQs are what you do in the park on the afternoon after your last exam finishes at uni. They're the pinnacle of social events.

 

[sledger]

Social events are the nadir of life though, so this is damning with faint praise.

Niche imports end up about triple the price of thr regular stuff, so i tend to avoid them.

Are Korean and Japanese brands cheaper? Might be worth exploring if they've got anything good

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Japan doesn't really do BBQ sauce. Yakiniku owns though.
