BBQ Roasts

Postby bluesnow » Sat Oct 23, 2010 12:16 am

I've cooked a lot of roasts on the BBQ over the years. I almost always use indirect heat (burner on the left, meat on the right) and I always monitor the internal temperature using a wireless thermometer. Here is my usual setup.

This was a 2.75 LB/1.25 kg top siloin cooked at 300F for 2 1/2 hrs. I've done this often enough and plotted enough graphs to be able to predict within 5 minutes when my roasts will be done the way I like them.

You can see in the graph how the internal temperature rises on a curve. The curve is always the same shape and the slope is dependent on the BBQ temperature and the size of the roast. (some people think I have too much time on my hands!)

I wrap a piece of foil around the cable for the thermometer to shield it from heat. I melted one once and had a very hard time getting a replacement.

it does look very very tastey, makes my mouth water mmmmmmmmm (dribbles). Its a gas bbq is it? Last time i used a gas bbq all the food tasted of the gas it was horrible. Would be nice to be able to cook like you can, is experience i suppose.

Tasted like the gas? I've never experienced that. I have used a propane BBQ for almost 40 years (not the same one of course).
