I’ll see how this next one goes

It’s brand new so hopefully not leaking

It would be highly unlikely the cylinder would be leaking, probably the regulator or a burner connection. Do you remove the regulator from the bottle when not in use, or at least turn it to the off position?

Got a bit of a shock yesterday with a loud pop and some shrapnel coming through the grill shortly after ignition

Some snail had managed to climb up the inside of the grill and was on a burner. Pop was it bursting and the shrapnel was its exploded shell.

Good long burn and a grill brushing followed that before any food went near it anyway!

A bit of garlic butter and you would have had a nice snack

Slugs like hiding under my cover- I usually store a couple of applewood branches there so I think that’s what’s attracting them

Anyone done a marinade with Gochujang, the Korean Pepper paste?

Just want to see how easily it burns.

Yep I use it a lot but always mixed with something else. No problem with burning but there is sugar in it so need to be a little bit careful.

Found a great recipe for slow roast chicken and potatoes with gochujang. There's lots of olive oil and garlic in it too. It's done at a fairly low temp so doesn't burn - goes fairly black, though.

I'd imagine it would burn pretty easily at high heat.

Google that recipe - lots of similar ones. It's really, really good. The leftovers are amazing.

Did a spatchcocked chicken on the gas last evening. It was really, really good.
Cooked just right - breasts just cooked - lovely and moist, crispy skin and lots of lovely charred bits. Spiced it a little with dried grape powder, Korean red pepper/chilli flakes, salt and pepper and olive oil.

Served with baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, salted lemon and olive dressing, tomato and cucumber salad and cous cous.

Sounds nice. Not massively related to this thread but how did you cook the couscous? I have a jar of it in the cupboard that I really should start using.

My gas bbq has been in the shed for weeks. We need better weather.

I stir it around some melted butter for a minute or two on the heat and then add twice the volume of water, turn off the heat and put the lid on for 10 minutes.
I usually mix various stuff through it. This time there was so many flavours on the table that I just put spring onions through it.

Spring onions, fresh herbs, lemon zest, pine nuts, chopped tomatoes, dried fruit would all be things I'd stir through cous cous.

Hi all, I’m searching everywhere for a Weber q2200 but they seem sold out everywhere. Has anyone seen them in stock/for sale anywhere. Maybe the current pricing of €320-€350 is too tempting for everyone !!

In the summertime????? :eek::eek::eek:

Get a cover;)

I keep mine outside 365 - all you need is 1/2 hour of dry weather to sear a steak or cook a few burgers- I couldn't imagine hauling my Gas BBQ in/out of a shed, but especially not in Summer time

We throw the parasol up over the bbq if it's lashing, it lives outside the back door all year

Yep you're right. They were bacon. Would the pork ribs be available in small local butchers or would i need to go bigger?

I find most decent butchers have pork ribs, with vastly varying prices. Some weigh them and some charge a flat amount for a rack. If you like, they will cut them up for you, I never do this as I like the racks to be whole.

I'm a bit of a fiend for ribs, so I will share how I go about getting them absolutely fall off the bone tender and delicious. I have cooked 5 racks at once on occasion and they all turned out perfectly.

Firstly, you need a slow cooker, there is absolutely no comparison to any other way of cooking them, and believe me, I have tried them all.

You need to peel the membrane off the back of them. A bit of kitchen paper helps get a grip on it and usually comes off fairly easily. I also trim any excess fat.

Next, I like to use a dry rub. Depending on if you like them a bit spicy or sweet, any combination of Paprika, onion salt, pepper, cumin, brown sugar. Plenty of them online to try out.

Then, stick them in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours. No liquid, just throw the ribs in on their own. Don't touch them, don't take off the lid. Just leave them alone.

After 8 hours, take them out carefully. They will be almost falling apart.

Brush them with BBQ sauce and carefully transfer to the BBQ for caramizaltion. Repeat basting as desired. In winter I use the grill for this but this is a BBQ thread

I gaurentee you they will be the best ribs you will ever eat.

Great thread,glad i found it.
My BBQ died recently after about 10 years of use.
Finding it hard to get a new one as most places are sold out. I also dont want to wait 14 days for delivery if ordering online.
Has anyone any recommendations for me. Either from somewhere i can walk in and buy today or order for 2 or 3 days delivery time online.
Budget is 250-400max and a 4 burner medium size is all i need.
Thanks in advance.

I find the orchard expensive and all they had when i looked were expensive webers.
I looked up Johnstown just now and they have some good options,thanks

They were doing Weber in past years but they seem to have got rid of all of those- they're stockists for Char-Broil now (and maybe some other brands, not quite sure) . Do let us know how you get on.
PS_ all BBQ suppliers/stockists are experiencing delays in deliveries due to such high demand this Summer but if they have the one you want in stock, delivery shouldn't be a major issue.

A few other sites are Newlands Garden Centre (I think they're still Weber) and Outdoor based in Goatstown and Limerick- they deliver (and weren't that bad when i ordered some months ago but not sure now)- they stock weber but also Broil-king that might be a bit cheaper- some out of stock right now but some look in stock for your price range

I'd imagine many do not have prices listed, and so the quote price might depend on how you ask.

Go in with a cynical sounding "hmm, those pork bellies are expensive, how much per kilo for pork ribs?" will get a lower price than going in with an enthusiastic "is there any chance you could sell me some pork ribs? pretty please!" sounding like your mind is made up that you are getting them.

Not sure that's the case. It's pretty consistent across different butchers. Some weigh them, some don't. I'm buying them for years.

I've paid anything from 4 to 7.50 or so for a rack of pork ribs, with 4 being their "set price" for a rack.

Average these days is about 6 euro per rack for me.
