Tonight’s was lamb Kofta, Mango & Lime Chicken and Garlic & Herb Lamb Chops (with lashings of Wild Garlic from the garden too) although no photo of the final outcome.

You know that a post without the money shot is no post. Disappointing.

I know, juggling toddler and MIL with BBQ took its toll I’m afraid.

Yep that’s what I said, maybe we just don’t like smoked meat

Bought it on a whim from robster, it looks nice in the garden and caters for loads on simple grill mode so will keep trying

Don’t care if it’s going to piss down tomorrow, I’m going to BBQ one of my £2.99 half shoulders of lamb…

After an overnight marinade and 5 hours low and slow in the bbq on a bed of onions and garlic:

The bone virtually slid out and I barely had to put any effort into shredding it:

“Hey, mister, you want salad and chilli sauce on your kebab?” “Oh yes, yes I do!”

Hidden by the green is a layer of the onions it was cooked with, some of the garlic squished onto the wrap, a lot of the lamb, and the white stuff is Greek yoghurt, fresh shredded mint and coriander with some lemon juice.

1st time bbqing a 1.5kg pork belly low and slow. Apply 2 tablespoons of ground nut oil. Apply rub. Low and slow at 250f for 5.5 hours. Last 15 mins apply bbq sauce. It was very good. I think i actually preferrerd it to pulled pork butt.

Recently experimenting between expensive (Alderline) and cheap ( AMOS Premium ) charcoal. I think there is a case for using both - The alderline is significantly lighter (7Kg V 12Kg) gives food less smokey flavour, gets to temp very quick and leaves much less ash. I want to try out Big K Marabua it’s UK HQ is local to Norfolk but comes from Namibia - It’s meant to run hotter?
Today a lunchtime steak sandwich using my new cast iron grill
