It would be great if someone can move this if it's in the wrong place.
So I've been BBQing for years using a kettle BBQ and just throwing on coal and self lighting bags but I was never a fan of the taste and felt that there was a lingering taste of the lighting fluid.
So loads of American BBQ programmes about lately and it's always wood and a real art to the cooking so I bought myself a new Weber kettle BBQ and I have a friend who has an unending supply of cherry and Apple wood and vowed to never use coals again.
Great, but I don't get it. So I light the wood but it doesn't have much heat for too long, am I not using enough, should I have the lid on or off? I've had a few attempts and watched some videos but can't seem to get the hang of it.
I'm determined to get it right as when on the odd occasion I managed to cook something through with pure luck the result was excellent.
Thanks for any replies.
