Barbechoo - UK BBQ

What's up everyone, this is James McKay from Barbechoo.com and welcome to my channel...

In case you don't know, my website (Barbechoo.com) is all about BBQ and cooking outdoors. I want to inspire more people to get outside and try cooking something different on their BBQ so if that sounds like something you're in to - hit that subscribe button and lets get started.

My channel will feature how to's and tutorials covering everything you need to know about BBQ, product reviews of the latest gear and I'll walk you through some of my different cooks. There will also be the occasional Vlog episode thrown into the mix.

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to chatting with you in the comments section : )

Peace

    Wasn’t expecting pure norn iron on a bbq video. Somewhere round ballymoney direction? I have a WSM 22, it’s massive and a charcoal hungry beast but it’s what was available second hand

    Hi, did you take out the smaller gas jets when you put this together, I took mine out as the mb gas pressure regulator I am using in UK is rated to 37mB, it said anything below 50 to remove the smaller internal gas jets? I have quite a difference in temp between both sides on the same grill, approx 40deg c lower on left

    Great video James! It’s great to see a British channel in the sea of US content. I just got in to barbecue and jumped from basic kettle that I got from work to big Joe 3 within 2 months and expecting it to arrive on Monday. I have done few cooks and really enjoying the process and stoked to cook on my new unit. I think I will order a cast iron girdle based on your impressions here. Was also considering cast iron grate for great searing lines but I think this is more versatile if I want to do smash burgers etc. Next Joetisserie 😅

    Hi Steve, thank you for your very honest review. I own a Kamado Joe Classic for about 8 years. I had a stroke ten years ago and after recovering for a year we moved from the city to the countryside. My health was so bad but it slowly improved. I then realized that my life would revolve around the terrace of the house. Then I decided to invest in a Kamado and after watching a bunch of KZread videos I bought a Kamado Joe Classic. I learned cooking the hard way. For instance when the food was done I forgot to have a place to put the meat. I wanted to BBQ but discovered that the meat was still in the freezer or that the meat had to be marinated long before. I learned how to plan at least one, preferably two days ahead. Now I have little trouble anymore. 😀 By now I have upgraded to the Classic 3. What I don't like is the new Advanced Multi-Panel Firebox. It is very hard to put together and put the ring on top. When I take the Divide and Conquer rack out it will pull the ring off and my firebox will fall apart 😡. I finally bought an old firebox to go back to the old system. These tend to crack but in the new Multi-panel firebox there are cracks too. I use the charcoal basket as well. In my opinion the old system is better for me at least. What I love are the accessories. I have the Joetissery and the basket. The basket is by far my favorite. I also have the soapstone which I use often. I use the Kamado Joe summer and winter long.

    So the soapstone has twice as long to come up to temperature and it still didn't reach the temp of the cast iron. I was going to wait but that is one negative of the soapstone so it features in the results

    Always love a good shootout. Great vid, keep them coming. I did very similar test a while ago and after owning the soapstone for over 3 years it's my favourite surface. However, it's heavy, its brittle, it's slow to heat, it's expensive but nothing sears like it. When I did similar to you i got similar results but later discovered that the soapstone needs to be much hotter than CI. If you get CI that hot it will burn the food but soapstone will just sear. Try smash burgers on the soapstone as well. But support it with a grate. Stick with it. I think it's worth it. Anyway, great video as usual

  • @Barbechoo
    @Barbechoo24 күн бұрын

    This was something I didn't actually cover in the video but it's a plus point of the soapstone. I just get it really hot and scrape it down so it's much easier to look after compared to cast iron that needs cleaned and re-seasoned to avoid rust.

    Thing with Shawarma is you need to cut as you go, a lot of people just let the outside burn. Have to trim as it cooks and you either eat it or set it to the side. Makes it annoying to cook but worth it 👍🏽

    Great review but it’s a terrible design. Over £300 (£230 on offer) and then you need to pay £13 for an adapter plate. 😂 The InkBird ISC-007BW is a much better product if you have any kind of komado imo.

  • @Barbechoo

    I have to disagree mate. I understand that the inbird fits a kamado out of the box, but the billows is a universal fan so I could take it from my KJ to my WSM and use it on both. Plus the overall longevity of the thermapen probes and thermometers is going to be much better from previous experience. I understand this bundle might not be for every griller but I don't think it's fair to compare these two units

    @@Barbechoo the InkBird comes with all the attachments for every type of bbq in the carry case. You can then choose in the app what type of bbq and what size it is. The control is perfect. Plus the main unit is away from the door. On your video the Bellows looks to be on the move constantly. On the IB only the adapter is at the door. Also, who in 2024 is bringing out a bespoke usb dongle? It looks horrific. Especially when it’s going to be at your bbq area so it’s bound to get in the way. Finally, the IB app looks like it’s modern/clean and all IB devices connect to it. The thermapen app looks like it was built for a Commodore 64. I’m sure it works well. But at that price it shouldn’t even be a consideration to anyone.
