BBQ


A few weeks ago we got a BBQ. FINALLY. We've been making good use of it, every day it's not raining we've been cooking. Thankfully there has been rain less than 1/2 the time. We've been making some old favourites such as Bourbon brined pork chops and Beer can chicken, and trying lots of new veggie recipes. So far we've loved everything we've tried...not that surprising really.
Last night was rather amusing. We'd decided to have a couple friends over for dinner and share some of our various vegetables and we'd decided to do beer can chicken due to it's ease of preparation and it needing relatively little attention while cooking...but I'd decided to do two chickens as I couldn't find a larger one in my particular area... So, all went well and they seemed to be cooking well until Chris saw flames. Hahaa, Silly me. Usually I light only half the grill and cook the chicken over the non-lit half. This time we'd lit both sides but didn't think perhaps we should turn the heat down and in the end lit our chickens on fire. It was rather funny and in the end we had steak instead...but I learned my lesson. Pay Attention! haha

I got a rotisserie and find I get the same result as beer can chicken by putting a cookie sheet under the rotisserie, filled with beer.

Just a data point for you to consider. Comes in great handy when cooking for a group.
