Hi Guys,
I have been using a weber chimney starter and a large bucket bbq (about 30-40cm diameter).
Normally for groups of 4 people I fill the entire chimney with coal. I will soon be going camping with my wife – I’ve never done barbecue for 2 people. Please can you advise how much coal I should be using per meal.
I’ll give you an idea of the amount of meat I plan to use for a meal:
1) 15 chicken wings, cereal bowls size of vegetables, 2 corn on cob, 2 burgers.
2) 4 portions of salmon, maybe 20 king prawns with stir fry vegetables
3) 14 lamb chops, corn on the cob, cereal bowls worth of vegetables, 20 king prawns
4) 2 lamb or beef steaks with some corn and vegetables
My wife doesn’t eat too much so I don’t want to make the meals massive. At the same time I don’t want to waste coal or the food to go uncooked!
