Using a Weber Barbeque

In this article we take a look at how you should go about cooking on a Weber barbeque (BBQ) and most of the hints and tips that we've included can be applied to all sorts of BBQ cooking.

The first thing that we should state is that what we're talking about here is the use of barbeques, rather than grilling.

Some of you may think of these two ways of cooking as being identical. We tend to differentiate between the two.

BBQ cooking is usually done in the great outdoors, heating the food, ideally done in a relatively slow manner. We might expect our food to have a slightly smoked taste by the time that we finish with it.

The situation will a grill is somewhat different. Grilling is usually done indoors and most of the time we would use a much higher heat.

Here we come to the first problem that many face when cooking outdoors. Many people assume that cooking times will be the same as for using a quality grill.

This is unlikely to be the case. You should aim for an even heat outside and allow the food to cook relatively quickly. It's vital that you don't eat food until its properly cooked.

The ideal should be an even cook, with a darker outside. If you're consistently cooking food that looks black on the outside, but is still raw in the middle, then you have a problem.

Maybe you should pay more attention to the cooking! If the BBQ is too hot, then move food to one side if necessary. There's no point wasting perfectly good food by cooking it incorrectly.
