I know it's "winter" for all you Southern Hemisphere folks so here's a thread to whet your appetites and get you planning for the summer.

Now I love to barbecue, my family, not so hot on it. There's only so many times that they believe that charred flesh around an uncooked centre is haute cuisine, or "all the rage in London". Since getting a gas barbecue, I'm getting better - now mostly the meat is charred all the way through.

But this isn't about me, it's about you - what's your favourite, or best, barbecue recipe. Are you a gas monster, or an outdoor cokemeister?

Incidentally, has anyone tried a "Texas BBQ" where you essentially put a carcass in a big drum thing with hot coals in the bottom and leave it for about 10 hours - I was reading about these big BBQs they have over there and I'm thinking of trying it out next year.

I once tried baking a large fish wrapped in herbs and tough leaves in a fire pit. We ate it with potatoes roasted in the same fire. It was fantastic.

I can never get corncobs to BBQ properly, any tips?

My favourite BBQ item (apart from steak of course) is bacon/mushroom kebabs.

Wrap bacon around the mushrooms and cook on the grill.

So very tasty

Spare ribs are pretty good too. My Uncle went over to Texas and came back with a recipe for BBQ spare ribs Texas style. Damn they were good.

>>>>Are you a gas monster, or an outdoor cokemeister?<<<<

I am particularly fond of barbecues. I love outdoor eating during the summer months here in the UK and I don't mind, gas, cokemeister who cares, I just love the taste of 'all' barbecues.

Oh and do all you New Zealanders call them Barbies?

cook your corn in the shuk and take them out and put sauce on them.

Whats the point in eating corn?? It just goes straight through. I don't like it and really don't see the point in even eating it!
