Hallo :) And a question if you dont mind....

[SafferGuy]

Just like when I grill. They appear from nowhere with their own tongs and random meat salts. They then disregard all their braai etiquette let alone my barbecue etiquette. I am the tongmaster, meatlayer and if anythings getting pricked I'll be the one to do it! :p I mean welcome.

Haha but what if you go inside to the toilet? Can they take over then?

But when he comes back will be hand back the tong??

Back on topic, I would think that the bbq would be used for open days and general mass feeding rather than low and slow cooks, please correct me if I'm wrong . If that is the case I would have a look at the flat grill type similar to (but not limited to) this

It was the first picture I could find of this type of plain grill.

Hi and welcome to the forum SafferGuy. I'm another Saffer that has started frequenting this forum recently I've been in the UK for about the same amount of time as you now

As for your question, I've never cooked on a gas BBQ, so I can't answer for you, but I know that there are many others that will most likely wander in this weekend and give you their advice

Baie lekker dankie En jou?

I'll be attempting a pulled pork shoulder in the smoker this weekend. Did you manage to get a gas BBQ?

Hey Keith,

Sorry buddy for the late reply... Your suggestion is excellent!! I am trying to speak to ASDA about this as I need them to invoice my squadron to arrange payment. Like you said we will be catering on family days ect so a 6 burner is ideal!

Spot on buddy and cheers for the post

How did the shoulder go in the smoker? I use my Webber, but saw an excellent conversion kit for a Webber to make it a proper smoker... considering getting it...

Chokka, What wood do you use for a Braai here in the UK? I usually buy my wood from these guys http://www.braaiwooduk.com/ it starts getting expensive if you Braai every week like me Looking for good alternatives here in the UK... Any suggestions? I have tried oak, apple wood ect.. Wondering if you haev a gem of a supplier

Hey SafferGuy

The pork shoulder went really well thank you. I saw you'd asked in my thread in the Low & Slow section. I've just posted a reply.

As for wood, I don't actually use wood for braai's here. I normally braai with lumpwood or briquettes, something like BigK is fairly decent. I was actually saying to my other half the other day that in SA we usually braai with hardwood that you can buy wrapped in those black elastic bands from most petrol garages but that doesn't happen over here. Charcoal and lumpwood is the norm instead. I had actually forgotten just how much proper flavour you used to get from braai wood

Anyway, for chunks of wood to add smoke flavour, many on this forum recommend this chap called Paul Goulden. He's well known around here His website is http://bbqsmokingwood.co.uk. Have a look to see what he can do for you

Hope you manage to get your gas BBQ sorted
