Hi everyone,

Basically after a few youtube videos of bbq one thing lead to another and spending £200+ on a bbq rather than £20 seemed a good idea. So I'm now the proud (and satisfied) owner of a ProQ Frontier.

I've had a go at low and slow (pork loin roast, tesco delivery man changed my pork sholder to this..."it's the same but better" ok...) bits of grilling and also cold smoked salmon (to my surprise no-one died).

Very happy so far and I've enjoyed the tips from this site. To me so far smoking seems a way to turn the cheapest meat, with the minimal effort into the best tasting meat. Cold smoking maybe a bit more involved but well worth the effort.

Was sea bass that I got on offer. I think I cooked for twice as long as I should have but still was possibly best cooked fish I've ever had. It was just very easy.

Cheers each time I try something new have to take a photo. Think my FB friends are sick of them though so glad you like em.

Only issue I'm having is charcoal. Started on cheapo homebase lumpwood which gave me no problems using the "minion method" tried out similarly cheap briquettes and everything just seems harder (starting, getting up to temp, keeping at temp). Is just because they are cheap or if you've got enough of it does lumpwood tend to win? Guessing special briquettes over very long cooks edge it?
