Here's a new lump for ya..

Holzkohle.

Its quite good actually

I am in Germany on biz and saw this in the store.

There is an old gas BBQ on the balcony. Has not been used in years. Its tiny.

Its about to become a lump cooker...

stay tuned..

Be careful. I've seen people use charcoal in old gassers, and the cast aluminum falls apart, resulting in spilled coals. I doubt you'd want that on the wood decking, that appears to be at least a story or two up. If it works, we wanna see pr0n.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!:thumb:
I would agree on the side of caution...

:popcorn:

its fine its not alum, its steel and I put the coals on the grate that the lava rocks were on

I did a test burn on it yesterday, no issues at all

its cooking on it right now.

pics soon, just some burger patties and a small chicken filet

[ButtBurner]

well here it is

turns out it was not burger, it was breakfast sausage patties!

I put them on the grill thinking hmmm, this looks like pork, not burger.

It was, I cannot read the labels.

the fellow I am staying with from work is Italian. I mean off the boat Italian

Thats his pasta and cheese in the pic. He must have 10 different kinds of cheese in the fridge

I like him LOL

he is teaching me real Italian cooking.

I am showing him how to BBQ on a old gas cooker

and the sweet pickles I just bought are mushy. I guess thats how they are here.

Yum yum! Rigatoni in a tomato cream sauce?

actually its just mushrooms garlic and parsley sauteed in olive oil

super simple and excellent

I bought the cheese in Amsterdaml its just called Amsterdam cheese

Wow what a treat!
Sounds like your trip will be great either way.
Get your use out of that lump.:-D

Schweinefleisch is pork. Rindfleisch is beef. Or just schwein or rind.

thanks but I cant remember or say the name of the street I am on

I have it written down on a piece of paper I give the taxi driver

easiest is try to find someone who speaks English in the store lol

[ButtBurner]

Word got around about my BBQ knowledge and on Sat I am having 10 people over for pulled swine and ABT's plus maybe a fatty or 2

I think I might be pushing the limits on this pit

:rolleyes:

[Fishin4bass723]

Hey what part of Germany you in? With the language just remember swine is similar to schwein that pig.

[ButtBurner]

actually PBJ's advice was very helpful

if it started with rein its cow

swine is pig of course, I should have known that

chicken was easy lol

I went to the supermarket just now and stocked up for next week. I will post some pron of my trip results in a little bit

the meat I got was real easy to tell what it was anyway by looking at it

and I am in Neuss, which is very close to Dusseldorf.

and I also got a rental car today. With a German GPS of course lol. I am sure I can change the language but have not had a chance to try yet

Keep plenty of bier on hand and show 'em a good ol fashioned BBQ!

Perhaps you could find a couple small bricks and some type of top grate to expand the cooking area? Foil pan "swiss cheesed"?

thats a nice idea. the thing is really small though. The bier goes without saying lol

here are some pics of my haul. The only kind of ribs they had were the pre seasoned type, I will have to tough it out with that

[Thermal Mass]

Boy you could do a lot with those goodies but, pre-sauced ribs?
I get what you mean about small.. :shock: My thoughts on the foil pan were to put upside down over food needing more heat and perhaps the pre-cooked sausage above?
Either way looking forward to your creativity.:thumb:

yeah, I know

its was either pre sauced ribs or nothing. I could of asked guys at the place where I am working where I could get good ones, but it was a last minute thing. I also bought a small pack of pre seasoned pork strips that appear to be bacon but are about 3/4" thick. Those may end up being appetizers.

I will suffer through it

I just cut the chicken in half and one half is on the cooker now.

You could always boil the sauce off, kill two birds one stone?






Sorry couldn't resist.:-P
