In Summer it's acceptable to have a BBQ …

[morehu]

Gonna sus out some sort of wood / coal bbq this summer. Got a gas one but its not quite the same. If I can Ill build it from scratch. Wont be too big a structure as we flat

[accidental]

I've never had coal or wood BBQ. With the standard gas BBQ the flavour is in the grimy grill plates and not the heating method :P

[Wugga]

I don't have a BBQ personally, but I (generally) don't turn down any invites to go to one.

All you need is this old thread http://buttonmasher.co.nz/forums/sho...ight=explosion might do one for Christmas day as well as duck.

YES.

I'll have to try those - sound yum.

Whilst we're on the subject of sausages, i had some chicken sausages bought from the supermarket the other week. They were fucking weird, had the lightest texture to them, and weren't very nice. Had a look at the label that was on the pack, and the ingredients list was like a science lab.

I guess to get decent snags, that aren't full of plastic, you need to go to a decent butcher.

But it's not like these things were Sizzlers, which are 100% processed shit basically, they don't even have a tube/case, hence why they can't call them sausages.

I'm sure there's loads of Sizzler lovers out there, but i'm just sick of eating plastic food.

General rule of thumb for buying sausys is more expensive the better, tegal chicken sausages are the best chicken ones ive had.

My rule of thumb for sausages is to just get gluten free. That way they are not 80% bread or flour. Both my favorite butchers offer what is pretty much just an all beef sausage.
You could of course ask for a specific flavour to be made up for you or make some yourself if you have the equipment.

I always look at the contents. The more meat the better. I can highly reccomend Blackrock pork sausages (90 ish % pork). At about $19 a kilo I think V's rule applies there too. If your in the Whakatane area you should try the sausages from the Waimana butcher. I believe they'll even deliver to locals. Im lucky enough that my family do a lot of hunting so I end up with heaps of venison or pork sausages. Nom

Nom indeed. You bastard

Yesterday at work I had some good sausages for the first time in years for the staff meal. The problem with sausages in NZ is that they are all far too processed, the meat is turned into a paste, and the ones that aren't don't have enough fat through them.

I like a good BBQ. Haven't had one in a while though, will have to fix that when I get home.

Im interested in buying one of these. Gonna see if I can track it down for cheaper than the place I saw it ($250). Gave it a good once over and it looks very stirdy and well designed

That looks brilliant! You'd have to source it locally though, right? Shipping would be insane—cast iron is way heavy.

[morehu]

Yeah. After a little looking around $250 seems pretty good. Havent found anywhere else in NZ that have it
