Dave Payne Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Good stuff! Gonna pick one up at the end of May I reckon. Did you get the chimney starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Smith Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 No the chap said they light really easily if you heap up at one end then spread out when going, really good of him as he would have got another sale. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal_snapper Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 The go anywhere is a small compact grill and with the small chimney starter, a great bit of kit. They even make a gas version of this little compact grill if you prefer a gas version. The Smokey Joe is a bit larger and the Jumbo Joe is larger still, but still great little grills to have and after they're cold can be stored away without taking up too much space. You can roast and grill on all these models and a digital instant read meat thermometer is another essential item to have......with BBQ, always cook to internal temperatures and never to time, as this is the way to do it to get mindblowing yummy results where everyone will talk about it for a long time!

Neil Smith Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I looked at the smokey joe but felt it would take up more storage room as It does not fold up, and the cooking area is about the same. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Payne Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I would grab the chimney, £15 I think? you just load it up with a little bit of paper at the bottom and leave it, then tip it out, less hassle and you don't have to watch it or check it meaning more beer time! Some really good groups on facebook if you search, also twitter has some good profiles, loads of tips to man BBQs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil I get a nice cheapo each year for about 20/30 quid. We use it many times each summer and then at the end about november we simply bin it. No storage problems over the winter, no hassle job done.

I'm planning on slow roasting the Christmas turkey this year on the BBQ so ours won't be put away at the end of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea but please do it outside lol. I have just bought a rotisserie attachment from fleabay nice and cheap but will do the job and hope to do some chickens on it this year and in my smoker. Theres nowt better than a barby if peeps know what they are doing. Armadillo cooking is not the way to go, just keep turning all the time so cooked in the middle and not black on the outside, its never necessary to start off in an oven.

Neil I have one of these grills and it's brilliant! As already mentioned, I cook everything on it if not windy or peeing down with rain.

BBQ Xmas turkey is incredible! Your grill needs a lid to really do proper BBQ, that way you can roast as well as grill. Add a digital instant read meat thermometer and no worries about Armadillo cooking. And no need to start in the oven, right with you there! It's all how you set up your coals.

Johny London Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Actually that's kind of what I was thinking of when I started this thread - more along the lines of an Aldi special <£30 etc! I expect there will be plenty places with deals this time of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
