davew Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 My BBQ I have a simple Webber, I got given 5 or 6 years back as my old bbq that was just the same was showing signs. Its round thing, that’s 18” across I guess, lid air vert on the top Inside halfway there’s a ridge and that my line where the rack sits for coals, and on top a lip for the cooking rack Coals I use a mix of briquettes and lump wood, before joining here I did not care what coals I used just picked up any old bag and made do, I don’t drive to carry is the best I can do I try to be cleaver and have coals in the middle and work out making the outer ring cool area. I use say 8 briquettes as a base and add lump wood on top and around the outside, in lumps etc I add lighters at the very bottom, grill over, add coals on top of the grill, and its ready of lighting Cleaning The base bottom I clean out, just spoon off the ash, never clean or get all the ash out, just a quick minute that’s all The rack I never clean that holds the coals BBQ above the charcoal rack And above the rack line is when the action starts, black, sticky and burnt on narley. That’s the gold and never gets touched ever, I never touch or clean this area. If it is windy and ash get stuck to the sides, I brush corn oil all over to make the ash stick and not go one the food, the oil kind of burns away and becomes part of this sticky layer, and the smell is very BBQ The lid never cleaned, every, sometimes gets a treat of getting oil covering, have to be a bit careful and the lid rib is outside the BBQ so its drips and excess oil on the floor, just wipe or brush in the inside of the BBQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Time for a bit more Made a batch of sauce, and wanted to share, trying to do a step by step in installments, which hopefully will be useful to others I have made so Jerk sauce, now it is all by eye, so please ask any questions. Will post the ingredients, weights and measures next This is real as I made my sauce, and what i tend to stick to, works every single time Things you need: Ingredients prepped Blender Containers Long spoon The base of Jerk is scotch bonnet chilies, I have tried every possible chili and all sorts of methods, ways and far the best is the simplest Buy what you want, wash well, do not de-stalk, thou I generally d. I always buy different size and colours as they all taste different Put in a suitable container and freeze them, i freeze mind with thyme The other often missed ingredient is fresh Thyme, I think I use a fair bit, again wash and freeze it Spring onions, try to get fresh, not half-dead one that been in the shop of a bit. Check the green tips are not rubbery, this happens more whith bigger sprint onions/fatter. These never blend well and cut off the roots and iffy looking bits. The picture below are the bad bits Cloves Rough ground black pepper Scotch bonnet Fresh ginger Ground cinnamon Ground pimento and whole pimento Paprika (two types) All seasoning Pepper pure BBQ sauce Lemon juice Soy sauce First blend After 2nd blend To show volume made and consistency Forgot to take a picture of the corn oil Edited May 30, 2020 by davew Tidy up post 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomjer Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Wow! Amazing. Please can I see more lol.. Whenever i BBQ i use a Jamaican Jerk Pan from Dougi BBQ. I think they are the easiest way to acheive good quality bbq without breaking the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
