Beginners BBQ starter kit

[anonymous-user]

I have been following the BBQ thread with a mixture of awe, confusion, salivation and jealousy, so today decided to take the plunge and bought myself some kit.

This is what I got, is there anything else I need? (I have tongs etc)

Homebase site is down apparantley so your link isn't working!

Strange, works for me? Oh well basically a Weber one touch premium (57cm), BBQ Briquettes, cover and some firelighters.

I am a total novice so would appreciate any tips.

TIA

Starter chimney.
Maybe a selection of woodchips for smoking?

You need a chimney, Weber ones are nice but there are cheaper ones. A decent pair of tongs (2 preferably), a spatula type thing & a thermometer. A decent mitt would be very handy too!

I use a Weber grill brush to clean the grate, you can use scrunched up tin foil though like I did for years.

We have the Weber BBQ book & it's very good if you're a novice, loads of ideas, recipes etc.

Most importantly, PRACTICE - get out & use it

Youtube is your friend, too. Once you get the hang of direct and indirect you'll be rocking.

What manner of contraption is this and can I do smoking on that model?

I think my limit is probably burgers, sausages and kebabs but am keen to learn.

The cleverest device yet invented my man: starter.

Get's your briquettes/coal all ready to go with just paper, so no paraffin taste... Weber one is under £15 at Argos
