The 2019 BBQ discussion

Hey all

Thought I'd get a new thread going to talk BBQ in 2019. I'm hoping to be much more active this year on the community now that I have some more time.

So over the break, we had a shot at our own version of the McRib (because let's face it, McDonald's one isn't great) as part of a competition on the Aus BBQ Alliance Group. We didn't win, but the end result was pretty amazing. We put the recipe up over here https://www.moonshinebbq.com.au/rib-sandwich/

So what did everyone cook over the break? Keen to see it, and any new toys!

You owe me a new keyboard (my current one is now under a litre of drool) hahahahha. Thanks for the receipe I actually bookmarked it 🙂 I agree it looks a hell of alot better than the mcdonalds version.

I only have a basic cheap gas bbq on wheels, and a very basic woodfire bbq - but one day Id love a smoker too (I catch fish pretty much every day so a smoker would be nice) and some upgrades eventually would be nice as well hahahahah. Ive tried making my own fillet of fish using a flathead fillet came out alot tastier than the maccas version as well 🙂

Finally got the new Char-Griller Akorn Junior out. Built a fire and seasoned the grills and burnt off any nasties in the unit from the manufacturing process for a few hours. Then last night threw some charcoal in and a few wood chips to cook a beef fillet. I found controlling the heat really easy but probably should have started with a different cut of meat. I didn't have time for a long cook but the smokey flavour probably doesn't suit the delicate beef fillet. Still very happy with the Akorn. It's going to be fun to play with. Will have to do a brisket or beef short ribs next time! Also want to try my own bacon.

So what's everyone cooking for Australia Day? We're definitely going lamb, I've got some fantastic Hogget from my butcher, a beautiful shoulder and a rack, and might throw a couple of shanks in for good measure.

Looking forward to seeing the photos of what you cooked @MoonshineBen!

I had a bit of fun yesterday with the Akorn. Made some home-grown jalepeno poppers, followed with beef short ribs and some chicken thighs and coleslaw.

Still learning how to maintain a constant temperature. I think my fire-building skills need work. 🙂

Looks the goods mate!

It was all lamb for me on Australia Day. We cooked up a couple of racks, and also a lovely shoulder.

This was actually hogget, which is a slightly more mature lamb (but not mutton).

Did both of these in the Moonshine BBQ Lamb Rub, and also glazed the rack with a fig glaze.

Was rapt to cook my first brisket on the Akorn yesterday and it came out fantastic. It was a 2.5kg piece and I used a dry rub and also tried injecting for the first time. Cooked on charcoal with some mesquite and hickory smoking chips thown in. Here's a pic of the end (nearly all gone!)

Just saw on Facebook that you had a big cookup yesterday @MoonshineBen. Be good if you could share some photos here with the Workshop community!

Hope all is well.

I did mate, we had about 40 people over yesterday for a BBQ, so we did chicken wings, pulled pork and brisket. Was a long cook, but the smoker ran like a dream.

Hey all, been a while between posts. What was on the BBQ this weekend?

We entertained some friends, so it was all ribs and buffalo wings!

Oh wow, those ribs look epic @MoonshineBen.

How did you do them?

I've haven't pulled out the kamado in a while. You've inspired me to get it out... After all, there's no reason not to let the cold weather stop you from enjoying barbecue in winter.

Thanks @Jason , was very happy with them

In the Weber using Heat Beads lump charcoal, they got 90 mins of peach smoke, then an hour in a wrap of butter, sugar and honey, then glazed for the last 20 mins.

Probably the best I've cooked in a long time.

Cooked a lamb shoulder low and slow all day yesterday on the gas barbie. Was delicious with a fresh mint and parsley sauce and some feta.

Anyone got plans for a big cookup for the footy finals?

I'm heading to the in-laws - where I keep a smoker....

So it could be a ribs kind of weekend!

Oh my gosh.... so it's all you guys with the smokers are the reason I can never hang out my sheets! If it's not wood fires in winter, it's smoked BBQ in summer! NOW I know who to blame, lol...
I'll get the asthma association to get a lynch mob 🤣🤣🤣
Happy eating, everybody!

Thanks for such healthy discussion on the topic of BBQ Grills. It really help me out in getting the valueable insight.

Got the smoker out on Saturday and cooked some brisket and some chicken wings.

Overcooked the brisket 😢 but the leftovers were still pretty good on Sunday morning when I made this brisket breakfast burger. 🍔

Followed your pork ribs recipe on Saturday @MoonshineBen. They were delicious and very easy.

Thanks again for sharing.
