    Update on the Weber

    Good Afternoon Fellow Weber Fans,

    this year I've taken on a challenging project which I've been wanting to do for a long long time.

    I am making one of these...

    Anybody else got any interesting projects on this year ?

    That's nice...

    I've got a kettle myself with the rotisserie attachment. Did 2 very large free range birds on it last weekend in fact.

    I've just moved to a thatched property though so may be reassessing my bbq operations.

    Bit worried about sparks drifting up and setting my thatch alight.

    Is that possible when using briquettes? I'd have thought it unlikely.
    Don't really want to go gas.

      This is the barbie you want beansie - The Extra Large Green Egg - Looks like you can practically roast an ox on it!

      Been meaning to buy one myself for a while, but so far higher priority expenses have precluded it.

        I have the large. It is an awesome piece of kit.

        1 hour smoked pork loin over the weekend and 5hr ribs the weekend prior. Although my favourite is 3hr smoked spatchcocked chicken cooked at about 130 DegC.

        Or if you're in a hurry you can cook a pizza at 500 DegC in a couple of minutes.

          You don't need to worry too much other than in the midst of a prolonged dry spell. In general, the outer thatch of a property remains a little damp most of the time (particularly during a "traditional" british summer).
          Most thatch fires occur when the internal dry stuff catches light, usually via the chimney space.
          That is not to say that you should be cavalier about raging blazes on the patio adjacent to the thatch, but it is not generally as combustible externally as some might think.

            It always surprises me the range and depth of the knowledge we have on this forum. Most of it's crap but still.

            Just to test the theory out. If you are drunk in the back seat of a car you can get done for drinking and driving. If you are drunk in the back of a motor home does the same apply?

              Would a table next to the BBQ be just as good?

                No because it's designed for you to sleep in it and you are using it for just that. There is no intention to drive it. You are using it for what it's designed for.

                That said you should take precautions.

                Before you start drinking alcohol, you must:
                • Make sure your motorhome is already parked up for the night. Do not take the risk of having to move it later to the right place, even if it's just a short distance within the car park or into an adjacent field
                • Ensure your motorhome is not causing an obstruction. You should always consider whether you might be asked to move it later so
                • Have some evidence if possible of the duration of your stay, so that you could prove your intention to sleep overnight in the car park

                After you've had a drink of alcohol, you must:
                • Never start up the engine in your motorhome
                • Never place the key in the ignition
                • Never sit behind the steering wheel or in the driver’s seat if it is facing forwards

                Any or all of the above could be taken as indicators that you may be contemplating driving the motorhome and are more likely to attract attention from the police.
                And always remember that if you've had a lot of alcohol to drink, you may still be over the legal limit the following morning.

                  no because the main motivation is safety, I have the kettle on the three legs which has never been a very stable or sturdy tool and when you stick the rotisserie on top with 5 or 6 kilos of meat on it, the whole thing is top heavy and an accident waiting to happen

                  people ask me about webers and I tell them to buy the performer, that's the one with a built in table and if I did it again I'd buy that one, but since it makes no economic sense to have two the next best option is the same as the rednecks in the US have done and build a grill table with the kettle built in...

                  and it's a fun project and you can customize it and put funny things on there like bottle openers and such stuff

                  and it becomes more individual
