hello all.
i found the smoking forum from a facebook link that was pushed over to me. from there i found the uk side of it.
any way i am a fifty year old newbie, i have never done anything other than burn sausages and frozen cheap and nasty burgers ontop of self lighting petrol filled charcoal bricks and never enjoyed any of it ever. i live in the west midlands or Birmingham UK or as we call it the black country.
a friend recently gave me a very grotty old lift shelf type charcoal grill with a lid and that started me on the slippery slope towards bbq heaven. i still only have that grill and its a small one at that but suits the two person cooking i want to do.
i do have a decent bag of charcoal to go in it and a couple of small lumps of oak blocks to go in with those as well.
i would like to get a seperate smoke box bbq but at the moment we mainly grill every thing and have not the equipment to go slow and low
as a newbie i wont be spending out on any thing just yet, rubs and sauces will be small quantity home made ones and i wont be buying any million pound bbqs for a while yet as i dont know what i want from it or the different styles.
as for future posts for now i shall wander off and start in the search button sections and do some research and then come back once i know what i want to get.
I am handy making stuff and designs but thats no use when you dont know what you want?
i like the idea of a long two compartment seperate heat box smoker but i do also want to still use it as a grill though, and of course you need a seperate smoke house and so on and so on and all of a sudden i am ten units in and no where to have them all, lol
so for now its ideas and methods for me rather than spending out and replacing what i did not need
i have a great sence of humour and i find that comes out in the food and chef as well as friendly banter towards other forum members too
burnt offerings for now pete
