Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I was so impressed with the quality of the Bronco that I bought one of their Rambler's as well. I use that when I just want to grill a couple of steaks for dinner, but my partner also bought be one of the Espeto Sul rotisseries, and I use that with the Rambler as its just about the perfect length for it. I got my brother to fabricate a baffle which lets me hold the lid open, but still keep the box closed for proper air draw & whatnot - its been great for chicken roasts!

I'm quite keen on their offset smokers too, but part of the deal with buying the Bronco was I had to get rid of one of my other BBQs (sold an old Weber Kettle) so I doubt i'll get the thumbs up to add another even bigger one to our collection!

The Rambler looks great but I currently have a Weber kettle as well, which serves most of my grilling purposes. Mainly setup with a vortex to do chicken wings and other pieces. I have an Espeto Sul too, but it's a bit annoying to use on the kettle. No one makes a riser for it, so can't do lid on. I've thought about getting a cheap second hand Weber Go Anywhere so I can get a riser to use with the rotisserie. But then I'm also wanting a tabletop hibachi so we can do korean bbq or yakitori for the kids..

I like the concept of an offset (and I've watched a lot of videos on them lol), but I don't really have time for fire management and long cooks :( I love the idea of cooking over wood too, sometimes I'll do sausages or something on the little firepit. Maybe when the kids are grown up I can get an offset.
