Like that.

Feel like I should have got the one with the cupboard underneath (didn't care, I won't use it) because the lower shelf is an ideal height for the dachshunds to escape the patio; I've had to block them with old chairs and trellis

Like that - Nice!!

Glad I didn’t go for the 2-burner version!

Holy shit, how many people are you feeding?

Excellent Simon.

I don't know about you (and maybe I did it wrong) but I found the build instructions on the app they try and get you to use a bit shite. I was much happier with the paper version!

Exactly the same Duncs - they aren’t even in the same order, so when I went back to the app to double check the wiring route to the igniter switch, it was much later than in the paper instructions. And didn’t show anything more anyway Deleted the app straight away.

Beany, my stepson has a big appetite, but we did end up with a few pieces of chicken left over.

Oh, it’s lovely to cook on. I didn’t even need to do a trial run; there was nothing which came off it leaving me thinking ‘I’ll do it differently next time’.

I’ve just looked back at your photo, Duncs, and realised you had the same trouble as me with that bloody sticker on the left hand side. It looked like it would just peel off. Spent far too long with WD40, picking at it with my fingernails to get rid of it completely

You only have one?!

Ha! Yeah, Weber really let themselves down with that sticker. I still haven't got round to taking the residue off.

Yes, might have to remedy that. It is a 13kg one at least!

They still run out and it will always be mid cook

Looks lovely BTW.

I've ordered some of the Alder Charcoal that McSweed linked to...

If Alaska The Last Frontier has taught me anything (and I'd like to think it has... ), it's that Alder makes for excellent smoke...

Anyone recommendations on a wireless thermometer/probe??

I’m looking at the Weber iGrill2 because Weber...

Meater seems to be the thing of the moment.

I'm hoping for one for Father's Day but am more likely to end up with socks

I bought something similar to below. Cheap and reliable and I just leave it in the meat while in the oven or on the BBQ. A handy thing indeed.

Yeah you’re right. Only thing I’m not sure about is the thickness of the probe?

Fine in a beef joint but do you reckon it’d stick in a Chicken?? You would only insert it about an inch into the thickest part of the Breast part???

There's loads of clips of people using them on rotisserie chicken, spatchcock, chops, fillet steaks and so on.

If you were really pedantic about getting the tip of probe into the thickest part of breast just feed it in from pointy end of breast lol

True - that would work.

Reading Amazon Reviews though, the quality seems a bit iffy. The two ends are glued rather than screwed and softens etc.

Fuck it, buy once, buy right, buy Weber

I got one of these recently and it's great. One proble in the meat, one in the BBQ in the open


Also does great to tell me when a load of bread is cooked perfectly (90 deg C in the middle)
And you get a geeky chart to watch
