Thought I'd give Pizza a go the other day. OH made the pizzas, I cooked. First one I was waiting for the top to brown, unfortunately the bottom burnt before it browned. The second one i took off earlier and it was great, cooked though nicely. So lesson learnt,- Pizza will not brown like a pizza oven obvious really, wood is not to the side, but heat is underneath, second lesson, don't put pizza stone over hot coals, it cracks!!
Been doing a lot of wings recently, cheap to do and try rubs on:-
Cajun:
Also made some with a Santa Fe rub and Hot Honey glazed ones.
However lesson learned here with both Santa Fe and Cajun rubs that I made at the same time was to ensure I read the herb jars properly, I thought the Cajun ones were a lot saltier than usual and it was only when the Santa Fe ones were the same that the cogs whirred and engaged, I had added Garlic Salt rather than Garlic Granules!!
Have to say i've been cooking mostly from the Weber books I have, I was looking forward to Steve Raichlens book "The Barbecue Bible", but haven't really done anything from it since I was given it at Christmas, I guess I find it hard to be inspired by text rather than pictures! Might think about a swap!
Hopefully I'll try some ribs soon, when I'm a bit more flush.
