No, I have to say I am not a Bury enthusiast, but I am glad to hear I am not the only person who eats it raw.

I tend to get stuff, it starts as food but ends up as stuff, burnt on the outside and raw on the inside.
Hence, I don't BBQ.
Stews on the stove, briskette on the stove, infact anything that will fit in a large cast iron casserole and sit on the stove I can cook.
and I can open OP bottles faster than you can say the name!
Sounds to me as if you have hit both enemies of a good barbecue.I tend to get stuff, it starts as food but ends up as stuff, burnt on the outside and raw on the inside.

1/. Your charcoal is too hot. I use briquettes (not lumpwood and certainly not anything instant lighting) Light and leave for at least one hour. They should be covered in a white powder and barely glowing before you start to cook.
2/. OP (or any other alcohol) is the downfall of barbecues (as with most other things you do under the afluence of incohol).

You don't know what you are missing. Even cheap econoburgers have lots of taste and my hot smoked salmon is a bit special (even if I say so myself).Never had a barbecue - himself always said

The hairy Bikers use a Cobb on their programme quite a lot.
We have the one-touch, and usually there is only the two of us - though somehow my sons and their families seem to sense when we are planning one. We usually get a text message saying BBQ? the afternoon we are planning one. Sixth sense. Luckily we have a big freezer.
You can guess when we are going to barbecue at Oggy towers. If the day begins with Fri or Satur, then it's a safe bet. A chicken'll fit in that! My son has one and he cooks chicken on it - and the son with a Cobb cooks chicken on that too. http://cobb-bbq.co.uk/

Ain't that the truth. I used to work for them. I have one of their TVs (OKish) one of their digiboxes (crashes at 6 pm) and one of their dvdrs (crashes any and all of the time). Faced with the choice I'd sooner have hepatitis B.S*** is another matter entirely though.

Oggy did you use briquettes or chunks? We use only briquettes on it now.
Boil the corn for less time and just finish on the BBQ. My husband will only eat veg that is cooked to a mush .
Never tried parsnips - will have to give them a go if I can find any in the shops now.
Very good for roasting chicken or big chunks of meat too (indirect heat then!).
Let's hope we get lots of good weather so you can perfect your technique.
Fireworks going off here now. The drunks will be along later. Nothing to do with May 1st though.

There are only two of us so I bought the little one. I don't think a chicken would fit.
Up until now, The only time I have used a barbecue with a lid on is for hot smoked food. My next try will be with the lid off.

I do not want to get into a battle of the sexes. but it does seem to me that barbecues are mostly done by men. I have been using them for about thirty years now. It started when I used to go touring on my motorbike and did not like the the idea of carrying a gas canister on the bike so I bought a tiny hibachi and used it for all our cooking. Since then I have barbecued most weeks during British Summer Time. My biggest cook up is twice a year at the model aircraft club where I do burgers and sausages for 200 modellers and their families.
Mrs Oggy has had one attempt at a barbecue when we were in Saudi together. We used to go down to the Red Sea at weekends and go diving and BBQ was the best way of cooking. Normally I would do the cooking but on one occasion, I was going on a night dive with a couple of others in a couple of rigid inflatables and it was going to take two to three hours to get to our chosen site, dive ant get back again. I lit the fire for her before I went, and gave her instructions.
When I got back (two hours late and with the fuel tanks barely wet inside, having missed our site) I was met by a series of Irish oaths and mutterings.
The next day I saw her attempt. The steak was incinerated on one side and raw on the other.
I cannot remember seeing a woman barbecuing.

We after the Righthand Highland Blakcantans...
The best Hagi(?) actually have even length legs. These are the fittest of the herd which manage to get to the top of the hill.
It is similar with pasties where I come from.
