One of the great things about the early BBQ season is the fact that all the new BBQ equipment is out earlier than normal. As regular readers of this blog will know, we are big fans of Kettle BBQ’s so it is great to hear that Weber has a new range out for 2011. The first is the 47 inch, One Touch Weber BBQ. We have found the cheapest price for this over on Amazon at just £83.55. The second ne... »
Lets kick the 2011 BBQ Season off with some back to basics information on how to make sure you have a successful BBQ by having the right equipment. Before I start, I want to make it clear, BBQ’ing does and should not be expensive. Essentially, all you need is fire and meat. That being said, if you want to make sure that you don’t accidentally food poison friends and family then you nee... »
After what seems like years of planning and a lot of research and reading up on the subject last night we finally made our first pizza on a BBQ. What we really love about this recipe and style of making a pizza is that all the family can get involved. Kids can have fun with the dough, and then even choose and slap on their own toppings. Before we start, this is the basics of what you will need if ... »
One of the greatest things about the BBQ world is the fact that there are not hundreds of brands all jostling for position and you can more easily spot the companies to look out for. Weber is one of thegrand-daddies of the BBQ world and is probably the subject of 50% of all the emails I get, asking if their products are really worth spending the extra money. The answer, in short, is yes! We have a... »
I am quite often asked, “how do I keep my BBQ going” and the answer could not be easier, use a Charcoal Chimney Starter. The Charcoal Chimney Starter is great when you are cooking something that will need longer on the grill than your charcoal can last for. When this happens you need to light up some more charcoal in your Charcoal Chimney Starter and once they have reached the white-ho... »
Some time ago we tried a recipe I had read loads about on American based BBQ websites called, “Beer can up the bum chicken”, ok, it sounds a little odd but it is actually really good fun, a great talking point for any big social occasion you are planning a BBQ for and best of all, tastes funking awesome! You WILL need a Kettle Style BBQ for this. All you will need for this is (based on... »
One of the mad things about ILoveMyBBQ.com is that we are now over 2 years old as a website and what started out as a hobby site now not only gets referenced by journalists in newspapers and magazines but also gets heaps of groovy feedback from BBQ fans. One of the most frequent questions is “what BBQ equipment and BBQ accessories do I need to get started on my own BBQ’s”. On top... »
You know that the BBQ season is fully upon us when the big outdoor and DIY retail stores start stocking their BBQ ranges and this weekend saw B&Q really go to town. We stocked up on the instant lighting charcoal and it also gave me a chance to have a look at some of this seasons new BBQ gadgets and gizmo’s, unfortunately there was not that much new stuff on the market, yet! First up I ha... »
10 years of BBQ cooking means that you build up a list of favourite things, from barbecue recipes and food through to the tools and utensils you use. I would class myself as being from the “old-school” of barbecue grilling in that you give me some hot coals, a pair of cooking tongs and a slab of meat and I will rustle you up something nice to eat. That being said, I do have my own preferences on a... »
