Ok, here goes, my first time, and I have to say that i am putting the blame solely on Weber for this sore head this morning.
Nice and shiny.
To start off, I opted for chicken, it seemed the right thing to do.
A whole bird was spatchcocked and I also used some drumsticks, a garlic and herb butter was squished under the skin and they were left in the fridge for a few hours.
I also decided at the last minute(as ya do) to stuff some fresh figs with cheese and wrap them in bacon.
So the big moment came, man lighter in one hand, cold beer in the other, charcoal had been moved to the side, then into the center, then back to the side before I decided the center was the spot.
I used a couple of small pieces of a firelighter to start things off, it worked a treat except for the smell off them, I will try using paper next time.
Anyway, things went pretty much as I expected, probably better, I played with a thermometer, moved the coals around a bit and generally got the feel of it.
The first batch of chicken went on, drums first, they cooked better than I expected, took around half an hour and they were seriously juicy. before they came off, I put a few more drums on as well as the figs.
Then, as if by magic, my nephew and his wife turned up, so the nice quite introduction to bbq段ng was halted as we decided that to bbq properly, you need to consume large amounts of beer.
Once the figs and drums had been cooked, the whole bird went on, I had to add a few extra coals to get the heat up again, but that also turned out a treat, I did plan on getting a few pics, but I can blame the beer for that.
Anyway, I enjoyed myself so much, that I am off to the butchers in a bit, I知 having another go tonight.
