Hiya all

Well i managed to cook it this weekend

I was not that thrilled with my first attempt while the chicken was nice and moist it did not taste much different to when it was done in the oven.

Any ideas how to get flavour all the way through the meat?

Thanks

Karl

I did not get round to it this weekend shame as the weather was perfect.

I think i will have a go one night this week

I will report back with pictures

Thanks

Karl

Will i need to put some water in the tray too?

Karl

Any tips?

Hiya all,


Thanks for the advice.

I cooked the pork joint yesterday applied a dry rub and basted with Coke as i had no apple juice lol.

Unfortunately i forgot to take any pictures but i will next time

Most of the reading i have done suggest to just chuck it on dry so i will do that.

Cheers
