The amazing weber bbq's

Spring is suddenly upon us here in Sydney, and a bloke's fantasies turn quickly to...BBQ's!

I've noticed quite a bit of chat in online forums about BBQ's and Weber BBQ's in particular in the last few days...seems there are in fact some adventurous and very tasteful ladies out there who actually love their webers too!

Thought I would post these pics...top pic is my favourite vegie "Hangi" on the weber...all marinated in olive oil, Chermoula or similar middle eastern spices, fresh garlic and Harrissa...piled up and slow roasted on the weber with some hickory or other wood providing the smokey flavours. Just load it up, put on the lid and wait till everything chars and caramelises up to perfection!

Next pics are from the Mudgee Picnic in the Park last weekend. "Webers on Wheels" is an awesome rig available for hire for functions and do's of all kinds.

Based in Mudgee but will deliver to your door, for you or your team of caterers to produce the ultimate F&B experience for your guests, anywhere at all.

We do garden weddings from time to time in our 3.5 acres of landscaped gardens at our Tamworth property, and I'm thinking this little beast could appeal to some out there looking for the ultimate garden wedding. I'm sure there are many other applications too...would do a pretty good sausage sizzle! Check out "The Cauldron" with its big wok ring...this is huge (cannibals take note)...hotter than Lang Park at State of Origin time.

Contact Kerry Wright on 02 63732161 or 0433686250 to hire this magnificent rig at very reasonable rates. "Never fear, Webers are here!".

Pluck a duck

Seems I've created a bit of controversy during the week in another online good food community, by revealing my little experiment to see if I could cook crispy skin duck with a handful of heatbeads in a Cobb Oven. Well, the experiment was succesful, with the duck juicy because it was steamed in the cup of chardonnay I poured into the Cobb's moat, and crispy because I rubbed it all over with marinade first then roasted it over the coals, turrning it every half hour.

The poor little Donald only just fitted into the Cobb...that was the big challenge.

I'm enjoying my Cobb Oven...runs on an oily rag as they say, & gives you lots of different ways to flavour your food. Fuel cost was about fifty cents worth of heatbeads.

A couple of the comments:

"Thought this was a food blog, not an alpha contest." said one.

"And who are you marketing manager for did you say?" said another.

But it was also good to receive comments like:

"You are a very cruel person, Im now sitting here drooling on my computer :))"

and "There's something very appealing about a man who is enthusiastic about experimenting and trying different foods. It's very nice to have a meal cooked for you by your man every now and then. I look forward to that some day...."
