Barbecues are bloody brilliant Part 3

Did pizza again for lunch
Halfway through the pizzas started to tip it down, not to be deterred rain coat on and very quick change overs

Nothing special, just a bit of salt and pepper and oil. I used charcoal this time on the smokenator as I had some really big chunks, very impressed using charcoal. I think I prefer it to the briquettes.

Realised the other day that due to travel commitments, the BBQ has been stood for a few weeks.

So as I have a full and uninterrupted weekend with family coming over this afternoon there's only one thing for it so I have been up since 6am getting the BBQ lit and we are now an hour in to an all day smoke.

Keeping it simple with just a nice piece of brisket (although I will fire up the second grill later for the burgers and other BBQ goodies).

I will post up some pictures later just as soon as it has stopped raining.

There's nothing better than getting up early to light the BBQ

Hi
I'm thinking of trying a pizza on the BBQ sometime this week,  any advice on the type of flour to use for the base please?
Thanks

cram

1 part strong bread flour to 1 part Tip 00 flour.

I use a standard white bread flour, but some people prefer to use the Italian "00" flour which is finer ground (and a lot more expensive).   You can also add some semolina flour for colour and flavour.

MonkeyPrince

Thanks, I'll have a look at the 00 when I'm in Tesco today but I know I have some strong white flour in the cupboard for the bread machine as a backup.

Any of you tried using a bread machine for the dough, or is it best to do it by hand and throw it above your head

IronGiant

While sorely tempted last night to do the latter, sense prevailed and I used a rolling pin

Don't have a bread machine so whenever I make pizza or bread it is always by hand. Really doesn't take much effort or time to make up a bit of dough. I've tried the in the air thing but I'm not very good at it so it tends to be a rolling pin.
