Nice to 'Meat' you all!
Posted: 03 Apr 2017, 14:26Hi there,
My name is Russ and I have been a keen BBQ enthusiast for many years.
I have always loved cooking and especially keen on maximising flavour with simple and fresh ingredients - with a preference for outdoor cooking.
Oh and I'm a bloke so I love Meat and Beer.... need I say more??
About 2 years ago I wanted to take my love up a notch or 2 and invested in a Weber Smokey Mountain. This was by far my best purchase to date and I have enjoyed 2 years of experimenting which has led to many Highs but also frequent lows. What I have learned is that 'don't run before you can walk', by this I mean I experimented with many different meats, many different Rubs and marinades (and the odd injection) without any real knowledge or experience. In essence I produced decent food with decent flavours, but none of them perfected. 2017 is all about 'keeping it simple' and I intend to nail the essentials (brisket, butt, Ribs and chicken).
Last year I also invested in a Weber Performa which has opened a whole new world of grilling opportunities so I am all set for an amazing season of both Low'n'Slow and Grilling fun
Oh yeah, an I have an unhealthy addiction to Chilli's!!
Looking forward to getting to know you all and learning lots of new cool stuff as well as sharing some of my own.
All the best
Russ
