British BBQ Society Forums

Hey all, just joined and thought I'd say hi.
Bit of a foody and have loved BBQ for years, I used to use my uncles stone BBQ with grape vine wood he'd bring back from France each year. Unfortunately since those days ive been using a gas BBQ and miss the authentic taste you get from charcoal/wood...
So I've just purchased myself a ProQ Frontier to have a go at smoking. It arrived today but unfortunately the courier had dinged it quite badly so have to wait for a replacement
In the mean time I'm looking around for accessories, tips, tricks and recipes... so expect a few questions

Welcome jubbly, where abouts in wales are you?

Sunny Cardiff..... Well it is today at least

Hello and welcome, hope you get the replacement before the June rain comes in

After the kind lady at www.Hotsmoked.co.uk said I could use my damaged lid while I wait for a replacement, I decided to give chicken and ribs a try....
Wow
Chickens cooked vertically for 3 1/2 hours with maple chips and a simple rub... Fall off the bone juicy chicken that stayed moist even when cold.
Ribs cooked 6 hours, 4 in maple smoke 2 in foil, rubbed with Bart Cajun spices.. Pretty good although the end ribs were too smoked... Will do a BBQ sauce for them next time... Tomorrow

If you are looking for a family friendly easy BBQ sauce try this

You don't need the liquid smoke but if you want it you can order from Amazon

I got my ProQ from Hotsmoked and they were great. Sounds like you had a great first outing as did I with mine.

Look forward to hearing about more cooks in the future.
