A real proper braai can only be done over proper charcoal and very firm opinions exist as to what is the best. It is all about grilling whatever is on the braai. You don't see them using hotplates. Yet to see Saffas take to gas BBQ's like Australia has done and, I hope they never do.

If you get the opportunity to share a braai with South Africans, enjoy the experience.

Yep, mine is a home made solid hot plate, 4 burner, 4 legs with shopping trolly wheels and some add on hooks to put it into the back of trailer.

Easo

I used a Weber for about 10 years for everything.

However, I got a bit sick of the lead time to get it going with the coals etc. The results are outstanding but sometimes the convenience lets it down.

Now I have both the Weber kettle and a gas BBQ which I use for everyday cooking such as steaks and snags etc.

When I use the Weber, I go to town. Huge roasts, with vegies cooking underneath, smoked with hickory. Xmas turkey always gets done in the Weber.

How about this. It mounts onto your towbar for transport, and then swings out for use. Gotta get one.

Freedom Grill 100 - Stainless Steel Tailgate Cooking Grill - Exterior Accessories for Land Rovers & Range Rovers

I don't think you can beat the open top barbecues for steaks, with a little bit of flame licked around them from the dropped fat. The Weber will cook them, keep them nice and moist but they won't have the same flavour i reckon.

I heard a recipe for a COFFEE rub for barbecued chickens on 3AW the the day. You mix ground coffee ( real beans not instant ), garlic, salt olive oil a few other herbs I can't remember and rub it into a chook split in half, leave it in the fidge for an hour, then cook in the Weber. Apparently its bewdiful. I'm going to try it next time we do a chook.

Simon, i'm pretty sure it is still high fire danger so i wouldnt be taking a wood or heat bead fueled bbq out into the bush.

I've always had the lid on, but snags are usually that overpowering in the seasoning department, that it overrides the delicate taste that the weber imbues.

You know that they're done when you take the lid off, and the snags look fat and tight, but within a few seconds, the skin wrinkles back a bit.

i with you andy.......steak on the hot plate only, the grill is just there for looks, hold the sauce as well

how hard is it to get a chef to cook a steak on the hot plate/pan instead of the grill when eating out...takes to long they reckon.......and the problem with that? grr

Thick sliced Stras also goes a treat on the hotplate.
