I bought one of these a month or so ago:

Works well, quite sturdy.

I’d like some wide, flat skewers kofta kebabs, remember seeing Rick Stein use some in turkey and they looked awesome.

Pulled pork again today. Juicier than my first effort but bless bark. I’m thinking it’s partly due to when I wrapped it - bit late last time, bit early this time.

Also thinking of adding some handles to my daisy wheels to make adjustments easier.

With you on the flat skewer front. They’re really good for holding stuff rather than having it rotate around on a round skewer. I also need to get some.

Alterlifeson · July 2020

I've just seen B&Q have the 57cm Weber Mastertouch with 20% off at the moment, bringing it down to £220 ish.

Is that worth a go or do people think they may come down further towards the end of the summer? Tossing up between getting that and actually using it this year or waiting longer when it will be a bit cold to sit outside and enjoy.

fretmeister · July 2020

I BBQ all year round so the weather doesn't bother me.

£220 for a master touch seems pretty good though.

Don't be afraid of used ones on ebay though. As long as the porcelain bits are undamaged you can get a bargain. High temp will kill anything dodgy in it and if really worried the grill can be replaced.

Alterlifeson · July 2020

Thanks, I might pick one up if they come back into stock. I'll have a look around eBay as well.

Weather is more for family etc, I know the food can be eaten inside but we tend to have other non-BBQ food in the colder months other than the odd occasion where we might fire it up to grill something.

fretmeister · August 2020

Bavette has turned into my favourite steak type cut.
Great strong flavour and lovely texture.

Just ordered some more with some canoe cut marrow.

Longtallronnie · March 2021

Just lit mine for the first time this year. So of course it’s starting to rain.

Nothing exciting today, just some burgers and lamb kofte. Really need to sort out a little table or shelf...

fretmeister · March 2021

I've just ordered a full pack brisket as it happens - for the weekend of the 24th.

Can't wait!

strumjoughlamps · March 2021

I was looking at the 3 Webers in the garden today thinking I need a plan as we are pretty much a meat free family now.

If you get rid of one drop me a message! Want one to have a go at turning it into a pizza oven!

That's exactly why I got another.

HAL9000 · March 2021

Lit ours up yesterday. Always enjoy a BBQ.

Hahahha! Have you made any progress?

Longtallronnie · April 2021

Missed out on a Weber Master Touch for £50 by about thirty minutes.

Longtallronnie · April 2021

Modded my Weber so I don’t need to crouch down to adjust the daisy wheels.

Hopefully put me off buying a master touch for a while.

For better results try Brining your joint for 24 hours before
Kosher salt (ironic with pork but it's iodine free)
cheap Apple Juice instead of water for the brine
leave a few crushed cloves of garlic and some black peppercorns in there too while it Brines

MagicPigDetective · April 2021

Ordered a Weber Master Touch last night. Not cheap and not much stock about, but thought may as well get a decent one.
I used the funds from selling a Chase Bliss Mood.......changing priorities!

good choice!

Pork shoulder going in the smoker tomorrow morning, 2Kg, usually takes around 7-8 hours. Friday night BBQ is back on!

fretmeister · April 2021

My 6kg brisket will arrive tomorrow.

I think I'm going to try a Hot and Fast. Not done that method before but I can't be arsed to tend the fire all night.

So I'll put it on at about 7am on Saturday and take it from there. Might be ready for lunch, maybe for dinner. Don't mind either way.

springhead · April 2021

I've never done brisket, can't face the duration/fire tending. Pork shoulder for pulled port buns, or baby back ribs are much easier to deal with.

fretmeister · April 2021

Brisket is not forgiving. Easy to get wrong but amazing when it's right.

I have been awake for 20 hours in the past looking after it - wish I could afford a Yoder Pellet smoker for that but they can cost more than my car!

So I'll try the Hot and Fast and see what happens. And even a ruined brisket can be the best chilli con carne you've ever had.

DoctorX · April 2021

I only tried brisket once (on a Weber kettle) and it was a total fail, I didn’t do my homework first so didn’t trim it properly in advance and ended up with loads of awful, unrendered fat and the meat was tough. Ended up grinding the meat up and using it for chilli, which was alright.

I’ve just bought a Traeger so will have another go at some point. Got a pork butt planned for this weekend though.

chillidoggy · April 2021

Slightly off topic, I saw a pizza oven that fits on top of a BBQ yesterday, I think it was about £70 and looked to be similar to the Ooni type standalone jobs, pizza stone inside, but it sat on the grill, with the BBQ burners or coals providing the heat.

fretmeister · April 2021

Brisket has arrived

This is going to be fantastic!

Will go on the smoker early tomorrow morning with T&G's cow rub.

springhead · April 2021

Looks good. My pork shoulder has had an hour and a half so far. Dry rub and hickory smoke. Making some buns now.
