Hi all,

Am just hoping somebody out there with extensive experience using
kettle bbqs will be able to pass on some advice. I have recently
purchased a fantastic looking little Weber ‘Smokey Joe’ Kettle BBQ – a
real steal at $99.95 in MY opinion. It is a vibrant ‘racing black’ in
colour with softer greyish tones towards the bottom of the unit. It
has very smooth lines, is absolutely sleek and stylish and a joy to
look at. Anyway, I am off on a camping trip this coming weekend and I
AM relying on the Smokey Joe to keep me going for the 2 days in terms
of cooking my supper (breakfast will consist solely of oatmeal and
dried fruits with lunch including a sample of simple yet nourishing
sandwiches of pre-prepared salads and processed meats).

Now, 2 questions; firstly, will a unit such as the Smokey Joe be
sufficient for my needs (is it reliable AND sturdy enough to endure
being carried for 2 full days in amongst some fairly dense brush and
thickets?)

Secondly, what cut of meat would people suggest I take to christen the
unit? I am not ONLY considering taste here, but also practicalities
and ease of cooking. Would one be better off grilling some steaks/
chops, or, alternatively, roasting up a small shoulder of pork with an
accompaniment of root vegetables for example?

Many thanks for your input and thoughts.

Kind Regards,
Brian Anasta

Did you mean Smoky Joe or Smoky Mountain? A Smoky Joe (grill) should
only cost around $30 - if it's a Smoky Mountain (bullet shaped
smoker), then you got a deal!

It all depends on what you really have, how experienced you are at
outdoor cooking and how much time you want to spend doing it. What's
your favorite outdoor meal?

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Hey Larb, ask him if he's going to take his Buzz Aldrin Collection
shortwave radio with him on his campout. That would be the perfect
time and or event to do some monitoring. My guess is that he hasn't
put 10 hrs. on that unit - - if he even really bought it to begin
with. ;-)

****** Old Brian likes to 'take the ****' in fact he is one of the
best yet.
Birdwatching was another one of his hobbies before he got into knives.
