MCM BBQ

[modernlover]

That's cool. You know, in NYC, you'd see these vendors at the 9th Avenue Food Festival with these cookers. The pointy ends go in the holes in front so you can just spin the skewers, and the food just sits in mid-air 3-4 inches from the coals, no grill so the food doesn't stick to anything.
Jeez, it's late, but now I'm hungry again, dammit.

OMG!

I WANT!

Damn I wish I could find out more information on that grill. I cannot find anywhere that sells it online. Can anyone else?

Not a BBQ. Not really even "modern" in the most strict sense.

I love the simplicity of the attachments to the central rod. It is instantly intuitive how you can raise and lower the accessories and swing them out of the way. I might have to get one of these.

Simple form, astronomical price...

Apparently Jeppe Utzon, Jorn's grandson, has designed a $6,000 BBQ. Sure is pretty, but my goodness!

This THING has gotten a good deal of press lately. Probably due to an upswing in their marketing, since more and more the press are no more than press-release regurgitators.

And on that appetizing note, check out the Big Green Egg

They're currently running a full page ad in Dwell.
Come in a few sizes. Here's the mini egg

[matthew]

The big green egg seems like a solid grill, except that it is optimized for lid closed grilling. I'm more of an open grill kind of guy. I never roast whole birds or whatever.

I think the Big Green Egg is based on a Japanese grill called a Kamado. This company makes special Kamado charcoal and grills - <a href="http://www.kamado.com/New_Kamado_Charcoal.htm">Cool coconut charcoal, eh?</a>

I had never gotten into the roated whole bird thing either, but did the turkey that way this last year at Thanksgiving, due to the influx of new family (one of my cousins got married and BOOM! just like that a bunch of new people at Thanksgiving) who traditionally do their turkey in a Weber grill. I have to say, it was the juiciest and tastiest turkey I have ever eaten, by a long shot. Piece of cake to cook too, very easy to set up and then you just let it go. It's worth trying Matthew!

I dig the Coconut charcoal.

No self-respecting BBQ is complete without suds. As these fine Australian MoPhos will attest to.


How do I know they’re MoPhos? Seem they’re throwin’ down the MoPho sign.

[matthew]

Hector - You just made my day. Thanks.

ASM - I will totally try Weber'ing the turkey this year. Great tip. I have the official Weber cookbook around here somewhere...

Just in time for independence day, celebrate freedom with this snazzy kabob rack.

Yowsa! What an excellent kabob rack! Now what would be the right blue food to go with cherry tomatoes and onion chunks for a fine Independence Day feast?

Matthew -- instructions for roasting a whole bird are available online too in the recipes section on the weber site (http://www.weber.com). Yes, that was me frantically looking all this up last November when I found out that I'd be doing some part of cooking a huge bird using an unfamiliar method while trying to make new relatives feel at ease ... nothing that a good perusal of the Weber site and a glass of wine couldn't sort out.
