As a side note, if it's just steak for one, you can do it on the starter chimney.
Just fill it 2/3 full with coal, wait till it's all lit, put the grill on top and give the steak 2-3 mins each side.
You'll be amazed.
A trick well known on BBQ forums. Just fill it 2/3 full with coal, wait till it's all lit, put the grill on top and give the steak 2-3 mins each side.

Use only lumpwood, not briquettes, wait until the charcoal is basically just embers, steak on, baste, turn, rest, done.
Seriously, you will never cook steak any other way after you have tried this method.
Sweet potatoes cut into thick slices about half an inch, and brushed with oil, likewise courgettes. You can get one of these:
and fill it with all sorts of things brushed with oil. Cut them into big pieces so they don't fall out of the gaps when they shrink a bit, makes it much easier to handle lots of veg pieces.

I put baby new potatoes, garlic, red onion, rosemary, salt and olive oil, in a tin foil bag, and cook it on the barbecue for about an hour.
Ah. The foil bag technique - we do this too. For us its usually Onions, Red peppers, mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, garlic and rock salt/black pepper.I went for an all out BBQ on Saturday while entertaining but I was a little disappointed with to be honest so tonight I decided to keep it simple and it was the best meal I've made in a long while.
Standard smoked haddock fillets with garlic salt, pepper, butter, lime juice and spring onions in a foil bag on low heat. No pictures unfortunately.

Pineapple. Yum. Cut it length wise, core it, leave the skin on and stick on skewers.
Edit. And at the back out the way, wrap an apple in foil and let is simmer away.
Yes, any variation on baked apples Edit. And at the back out the way, wrap an apple in foil and let is simmer away.
I went to a slow cooking/smoking bbq demo at the weekend and one of the dishes was going to be sugar smoked pineapple. Unfortunately it was the only one that wasn't done because it went on too long, so I haven't first hand experience of the result!
The recipe is to cook the pineapple (in chunks on a skewer) for 4-5 minutes with the bbq lid on, over indirect heat, having sprinkled a handful of light muscovado sugar on the charcoal first. Apparently, the burning sugar gives a caramel flavour to the pineapple. Not sure what state your bbq is left in afterwards though!
