over a year ago

Never understood the concept of BBQs,why do you feel the need to cook food outside just because its warm,overcooked/undercooked, flies, bits of shit in the air, messy, if you really feel the need to eat outside why not cook it all in the kitchen and bring it out, someone please explain this to me

I bloody love a bbq, corn on the cobs, making my own kebab skewers, the burgers and all the meat. It just tastes nicer when it’s been charcoal grilled.

Love ours we cook outside most nights, and often Wildcamp and cook outside in normal times.

Why do you want all the smoke smell and mess in your house when it’s a beautiful summer evening ?

Charcoal grilled food seasoned properly tastes much better than fried, oven cooked etc

You can cook more food more easily , I can cook for 4-8 easily in 15-20 mins

Barbecuing is a great way to cook, but you have to know how to do it right like all other forms of cooking. Heat control and technique are important, otherwise you tend to get horrible chunks of char.

Also, a lot of people go cheap when they bbq, it's hard to get a good result if you don't have good ingredients.

Because it's 'event cooking' rather than just being stuck in the kitchen.

Much more social and there's such a different taste to food grilled on a BBQ

For starters it's a primal thing, that's why guys usually take over the grill.

Back in Oz we'd barbie all the time and under the varander we'd have sinks and kitchen units, even a bar fridge. It's all part of the occasion...

There's a whole lot if cooking on a bbq.

Once the coals are of white ash. You can cook.

At it's hottest do pizzas.

Then the bbq meats.

Then dutch oven in the embers, for a stew next day.

Because the sun can't come indoors. If you are stuck inside all day due to work it's nice to get some sunshine when it arrives. I also do my ironing outside and prefer to exercise outside than go to the gym in the summer.

I don't know what people are talking about when they say it's hard work doing a BBQ or that the food isn't cooked properly. You pour some charcoal in, place 3 firelighters in a triangle shape, light them, build up a pyramid of charcoal, chat to your friends and family, drink too much, dance around your garden, take a look at the BBQ and spread the charcoal around now that it has gone white, stick some meat on, squirt someone with the hose, turn the meat over, watch someone fall off one of those white plastic chairs, piss yourself laughing, serve the food, drink until unconscious. Done.

Bbq's afford one the privilege of watching ones meat burn whilst not being able to a great deal about it, with the added benefit of breathing in a face full of smoke and smelling like grease and ketchup, innit....

....I for one wouldn't miss the opportunity of cleaning all that nasty burnt on shit/concrete off the grill afterwards, not to mention the cherished moments when the shit falls through the grill into the charcoal (10 second rule applies/feed it to the guest you hate most).....

Been Greek we love a BBQ especially our Greek Easter normally a couple of weeks after the UK Easter nothing better than lamb , pork or chicken shish kebabs.Most Sunday’s we have a gathering of family and friends and we tend to do a BBQ it’s how I was bought up so I see no need to change but I understand it’s not for everyone that’s fair enough as far as I am concerned

A BBQ imparts a different flavour to what you're cooking. The same way that boiling, frying, roasting, all imparts different flavours and textures.

We cook indoors, so a better question might be, why don't we BBQ inside?

The obvious answer is our houses aren't designed for it, smoke fire risk, etc.

It's because we can't BBQ inside, that a do it outside.

In any case, if it's so nice outside, why would you wish to be stuck inside cooking, when you can do it outside!

We bbq in all seasons and in most weather conditions.. heavy rain being the exception.

Why..

Because some foods just lend themselves to being cooked that way. Bbq chicken wings, it's how God intended those tasty little flightless birds to finish up..

We eat outside when possible..

Why..

Because being outside feels better than being inside to us.

Each to their own, but in a good 15 years of bbq cooking we're yet to get food poisoning, attacked by a fly with a baseball bat demanding our steak and we've not created a fireball that has been mistaken for a low level nuclear weapons test.

Enjoy the microwave meal for one.. its bbq or bust for us.

Dude. Go find a South African. Get him to invite you to a "braai".

You'll never want to eat meat fried in a pan again.

The key is in the woodsmoke. It flavours the meat.

But yeah if you are flipping hamburger patties on a gas cooker stay in your kitchen.I have fond memory's of boerewors on the Braiiflais

Never babied is SA but when we lived in NZ, we used to catch red snapper and trap crayfish and bbq them on the beach at night, so good. "

In SA trapping crayfish is illegal. We used to dive for them. Nothing like sticking your face under a rock to have a giant size moray say hello.

I'm allergic to crustaceans so I'd catch my quota and give them away.

We used to catch fish, gut them and fill the cavity with tomato, onion, garlic and lemon, wrap them in tinfoil. Freshly caught fish on the grill. Mmmmmmmm!!!

I've never had one, but I intend to buy one soon.

It's quick and simple and they smell good.

Throw in some good weather and a few drinks and what's not to like.

I'm with the OP to be honest, anything cooked on a BBQ can be cooked better in an oven. Lots of people I know rave about them but I always find it an excuse to drink a lot and eat often poorly cooked and sometimes dangerously cooked food.

I can't see the problem if its cooked for long enough.

The best food I've ever had on a BBQ was when my brother in law bought a smoker to fit over the top, we had smoked fish and green lipped mussels, that was great any thing else and I don't think it's better on a BBQ and trust me I have many South African friends so have tried them many times, not for me I'm afraid

The secret is to cook on both wood and charcoal. Charcoal for a long even heat. Wood for the smoke. Different types of wood, give a different taste to the meat.

I just love the idea of spontaneously cooking and eating outside. The food has a lovely chargrilled taste, sunshine, it's just quite blissful. I've done quite a few over the last few days, Ottoleghi aubergine and yoghurt salad with garlic chicken thighs....bliss.

I don't like BBQs either, i have stopped going to them now unless it's my children doing them as i trust them to cook properly. Other times the food has been boring, bland, to hot, to cold, generally gross and all iv ate is the bread. Now i simply don't bother to go to them.

It’s about social gatherings, people joining together, enjoying the experience the alfresco food drinks and chatting “ sharing the moment “ instead of sitting in front of television laptop or gaming screens

People I know can cook can fail on a BBQ, honestly I understand the appeal of cooking outdoors and being sociable but just burning meat is what usually happens, fish can work but very few people try it"
i have three controllable burners on mine and a grill plate i do chicken and fish comes out great

Love using the BBQ....food cooked properly has taste and texture entirely different to oven or pan cooked..we use ours quite a lot even doing slow cooked or smoked meats...a nice bit of beef jerky or biltong is a wonderful snack to have a few days later with a nice cold beer...like most things in life it takes practice to learn to cook decent on a charcoal one...can't see the point of gas or electric ones...you definitely need the full smoke flavouring you can only get from charcoal..

Et voila, the important thing that some people forget is to let the coals go white no flame.

Love a good bbq or fire pit for cooking, prefer being outdoors compared to indoors, so when the weather permits. Never gave anyone food poisoning, and haven't burnt anything except my hands maybe.

Can't beat a good firepit for cooking, never done one as big as that, don't have enough friends to justify doing a full pig

It's everything that comes with it more than the actual bbq,outside with family and friends having a beer. The younger days where me and my mates would all chip in for cheap food,disposable bbqs and beer, those were the days!

people need to point out there is a difference between a British BBQ where it is a few burgers... and an american BBQ where you are basically slow roasting a whole pig or a cow!!

that "thing" you lot call a BBQ would get you laughed at in the US!

slow honey roasted pork done right may be the best thing on gods green earth

What's so great about indoors anyway? I bought a house, specifically with a big garden. A BBQ is just one of the things I can do in it.

I am tempted sometimes to BBQ in the middle of winter, possibly after snow. I can keep warm cooking, people can eat in the house and it freaks out the neighbours.

"Because seasoned jerk chicken and pork needs the charcoal flavour, it's terrible cooked in the oven.

I think the same when I cook chicken tikka and homemade naan. They cook so much better on the bbq as well. "

Totally agree with chicken tikka, so much better barbecued. Now I was finishing the naan on the hob but I'm giving your method a go, makes total sense, now why didn't that cross my mind.
