• Your barbecue is getting too dry, but you want to cook a little more? No problem. The next tip will help you.

    What does it mean that the barbecue is getting dry?  It lacks humidity, i.e. water. How you can supply water to the sizzling meat of you barbecue? That’s correct – you should pour some water on it. However if you just pour a glass of water you risk to extinguish the embers. It is much more convenient to have something with which to conveniently pour a measured amount of water.

    The solution comes naturally. Plastic bottles are very common thing to have were a party takes place. They are usually considered as garbage, but you can reuse at least one of them.  So you take a little empty plastic bottle of Coke from some other drink, make a hole on its tap, and fill it with water. The bottle looks like this:

    BBQ Moisturizing bottle

    I will give you another look, this time of the tap of the bottle:

    BBQ moisturizing bottle - view of the tap

    If you like you BBQ to have a beer flavor, you can use beer instead of water. It does not take  much of the precious liquid to moisturize the barbecue.

    But this is not all you can do with the bottle. There is an additional function of the bottle. You can extinguish local fires which from time to time come out of the embers.

  • Barbecue, Basic 22.10.2011 No Comments

    There are five meanings on the word barbecue. Some of them are described in [1].

    • The first meaning of barbecue is the method of food processing which involves applying the action of a  fire and its smoke to meat, mushrooms and vegetables. There are some arguments that if there is intense heat, and the food is prepared quickly, the method is grilling, not barbecue, and when there is only smoke, and the cooking is low, it is barbecue [2]. For the purpose of this blog I will consider both to be barbecue.
    • The second meaning of barbecue is the device, usually a grill, which is used for cooking by the method described above.
    • The third meaning of barbecue is the cooked food by the method described in the first meaning.
    • The fourth meaning of barbecue is the gathering of people in order to party around the barbecue grill and to eat food prepared on it. Yes, it is the BBQ Party.
    • The fifth meaning of barbecue is a verb, it means the act of barbecue preparation.
