Used a BabyQ last week and was very happy with what it does.

Nearly bit the bullet, but my natural tight-arse instincts steered me towards a cheaper version.

Very happy with its performance today with its light weight and ability to cook a sausage sizzle in breezy conditions.

It uses a throw away gas canister but can buy a gas hose down the track.

I won't recommend it yet until further testing, but it seems to be a bloody ripper.

Couple of pics from today and some links.

Interesting little unit mate.

Jeff

Wow, less than half the price of the Weber.

Not the solid quality of the weber, but an affordable venture into the Dark Side  8-) ;)

Are Jumbuck owners aloud on the Weber Q forum ? ;D ;D ;D
And what's this with the snags? I thought you were on a diet? :-? :-?

Not sure whether the Tuffs would be allowed to mix with the Toffs?  ;

Only ate 2 snags Dr Shackles  :-* and on white bread  :o

I do sneak the occasional sausage also at Bunnings  :)

I always thought it was mandatory to have a sausage when you go to Bunnings.

Kinda like a gold coin donation entry fee thingy.  :-/

[smiley=thumb.gif] [smiley=thumb.gif] [smiley=thumb.gif]

And that tempting waft of BBQ onions in the air makes it difficult to resist sometimes  :)

Will try some chicken breast for the next cook.

We have a Weber BabyQ in the caravan because of it's size a versatility but I have always said that they are not the be all to end all of BBQ's.

This is my Everdure that we had for our last van and which now gets used at home at least three times a week,  It was half the price of the Weber when I bought it.

http://www.aussiecampovenforum.com/Photo/Neo/neo2.JPG

I got a Baby Q 1200 for Chrissy and just waiting to fire it up for the first time.  Need to get a few accessories before I'm entirely happy with the set up.

Cheers

$eamus  8-) 8-)

Geez, I am well and truly outnumbered here by the Toffs  ;D

Not sure if this Jumbuck will allow me to bake in it, as on low setting, the temp stays around 200 degrees. ( maybe leave a gap in the lid?

I will experiment during these hot summer months.

Who remembers the old pommie comics?  :D

---

Yeah Rufz, but I didn't get the side table thingies with my Q... they are optional extras.  The accessories with the Q could soon run up a hefty bell I reckon.

Cheers

Seamus   8-) 8-)

Too right there Seamus. Plenty of accessories to choose from.

http://www.weberbbq.com.au/Accessories.php

$60 for side tables and I got mine included  :P

I have to buy my connecting hose, where at least yours is supplied.

Time will tell whether I should have opened the purse strings a bit more  :)

The BabyQ is a quality product by the looks.

Rufzgutz wrote on Dec 29^th, 2014 at 8:52pm:

In both my Everdure and Weber I find that is a pretty good temp for baking most things especially meats.

I'm a 180 degree man for just about everything, but I will soon see about the higher temp.

Seamus, you better fork out for the side tables, otherwise your xxxx gold's are gunna fall straight to the ground  :D ;D  ;D

Had oysters kilpatrick, some Chicken spinach and pinenut sausages (for tomorrow's picnic) and a couple of filo parcels filled with chicken tenderloins, spinach, ricotta cheese, & mushrooms

Did the job for a very nice meal.

---

That all looks pretty awesome mate.

I see most Barbecues Galore no longer stock Webers and are pushing  their own brand of Zeigler & Brown.  They also look to be going to give Weber a nudge on the market.

I think all these little BBQ's are pretty good once you get the hang of them.

You've put on a 'bit' more weight Rick  [smiley=cheers2.gif]

I don't have my trivets or other gadgets to experiment with 'till I get home, but my cake tin was useful.

I will try baking a fruit and nut cake soon, but from experience, I need to keep the temps down so it doesn't come out a rock cake  :)

Jack, you have good peepers as I have put on a "couple" of kilos  :-* ;D ;D

I reckon I'm going to like this cooker :)

Strewth Rufz.... who's the bloody Toff in this story???   Oysters Kilpatrick no less!   Do you  strut the little finger as you scoff them??  ;D ;D

Cheers

Seamus   8-) 8-)

Seamus, all "Gifted" to help this Tough enjoy a little merriment in these tough times  :D :D

It's good to have a generous miner son $$$$$$$$

Now getting back to me Jumbuck, I'm in lurve  :-* :-*

Cooked some Chicken breast and a couple of steaks for dinner tonight  [smiley=chef.gif]

Baked a fruit&nut gourmet cake afterwards and could not be happier  [smiley=bounce.gif] [smiley=bounce.gif]

The seasoned chicken is my signature award winning family dish and it exceeded my expectations.

A couple of screwdrivers under the lid allowed me to bake my gourmet cake @ 180 degrees and once again, a perfect dish.

Geez, I'm good. Just ask me  ;D ;D ;D

I will put up some photos tomorrow to back up my bragging  :D :D

There's an old saying, "never count your chickens before they are hatched"  :D :D :D

My fruit cake looked perfect last night but in the light of the morning, another case of  "burnt bum syndrome"  ;D ;D

Lucky that I am an expert in cutting off burnt crusts  :)

---

I soaked the sliced chicken breast in olive oil and rolled in a seasoned flour (whole meal plus vegeta stock powder)

Tried the same with one steak and it turned out OK.

The other steak was cooked with just a little seasoning.

The steaks were not too bad, but the chicken breast was very tender and moist [smiley=chef.gif]

---

Cooking a lamb roast tonight. Only 25 degrees and overcast in Port Lincoln today  :)

The gas canister emptied after 2 1/2 hrs on the low setting since I bought it.

I will need to buy a gas hose for when I cook at home.

How much do the gas canisters cost Ruff ?

$8.50 at Bunnings. Not bad for the easy BBQ outings, but not very economical for roasting/baking.

But....... I'm still in Lurve with it  :-*

You could always take the gas burner out and put some coals or heat beads in it.  ;D ;D

mmm....even though you Jest, oh madcap one, that could be a possibility (without removing the

extremely useful gas burner  :))

Used an oven bag for the leg. About 2hrs @ 200 degrees for the leg. A bit less for the veggies.

This thing will pay for itself on this holiday.

Our unit has a stovetop but no oven, so no going out for dinner when you can enjoy better food at home  [smiley=chef.gif]

With the gas usage, I left it connected so it could have leaked a little  :-/

---

Roast leg of lamb, roast vegies, big heavy fruit cake . How is the Diet going Rick? :-/ :-/

Only have small servings Dr Shackles  :), truly  :D

The leg was trimmed of most fat, sweet potato and potato baked with a little olive oil, and a Big serving of green mint peas.

And the cake is whole meal flour, dried fruit, banana, coconut, unsalted mixed nuts and low fat milk, and a naughty bit of milo  :D :D

Surely, Dr Shackles, You can't deny me a few of life's little luxuries  ;D ;D

The Boss has decreed that we will be having a roast done in the Baby Q for lunch so I'll be sure to get a couple of pics.  I have a lamb leg, piece of pork or an uncured piece of brisket from which to choose.  I'm favouring the brisket so you can bet it will be either one of the other two when I have the choice made for me  ;) ;)

The Monsoon seems to be with us... finally ... so it might be a carport job I think.

Saves watering the new vegie patches 'tho.

Cheers

Seamus

Stand up for yourself Son. Stop being intimidated by your better half  :D

You could try tricking your good woman by suggesting the pork or lamb  ;D ;D

Enjoy your lunch. We are having vegemite sandwiches today  :)

Rained out.  Watch this space.

Seamus

Baked a King George Whiting this arvo  [smiley=chef.gif]

No filleting, no scaling, just gutted and placed on foil to save cleaning the plate.

Ate straight from the foil. Yum bloody yum.

Baked a couple of small mackerel fish also. Most people throw them back because they are boney, but baked and the meat picked out they were OK.

---

Any photos of the mackerel???

They are nothing like your Mackerel up there.

Down here, these are not often kept.

Cindy had a lot of fun, catching about 20 of these. There wasn't much else around last night. I kept two for a taste and they were Ok.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_mackerel

---

When I was a kid used to catch dozens of them and yep we do get them up here in Qld.

When I was 16 I had a bloke in Sydney make me a very light fishing rod and used to use 2 pond breaking strain line and a German DAM reel to catch them. Great little sport fish  :)

Never eaten them but fantastic bait whole for large fish and as a cut bait for just about anything.

By the way, nice looking whiting.  King George is still one I am yet to catch.

King George is our Premier fish down here Derek.

My personal best is 48cm and I have seen a 65cm on a fishing forum.

The one I cooked today was 33cm (legal size 31cm)

Not much to catching them. You just gotta find them  :D

Tonight, I fired up the jumbuck for a late night snack of Brushetta (toasted olive oil bread)  [smiley=chef.gif] [smiley=chef.gif]

Did I tell youse, I'm in Lurve  ;D ;D

During my final navy years as an Instructor at HMAS Cerberus we used to take a work boat out into Hann's Inlet where we would often get a few King George whiting.  One of the nicest tasting fish ever.  On a par with our Coral Trout.

Cheers

Seamus  8-) 8-)

They do have a reputation for being the premier fish Seamus  [smiley=chef.gif]

I caught and cooked a coral trout at Airlie Beach a few years ago. It did taste superb  [smiley=chef.gif]

Now, getting back to my true love, Miss Jumbuck. I baked a few spuds and a delicious chicken parcel tonight.

---

Rick, looks good. 

Have a look at this photo of a Weber Baby Q.

It shows the aluminium convection tray with a baking trivet sitting on top which are both Weber accessories

Would work well in your Jum Buck.

http://www.weberbbq.com.au/ProductAssets/AccessoriesImages/91147.jpg

Here is a video showing how it works

[media width=640]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImY-8oUyhPI[/media]

Thanks for the advice.

First thought was " not weber overpriced accessories :)" , but @ $15 for ten, I will give them a go.

Your video didn't work on my iPad (sound only) but I viewed it on this link,

http://www.weberbbq.com.au/Videos.php

Still experimenting and enjoying the results  [smiley=chef.gif] [smiley=chef.gif]

Still in love with my Jumbuck  :-* :-*

I bought a pkt of medium weber trays Derek. The jumbuck is larger than the babyq .

Works brilliantly. I did a beef roast and spuds this week. Perfect  [smiley=chef.gif]

Have used it a few times this week.

Used the weber YouTube to help me cook my Atlantic salmon to perfection.

I will take some pics tomorrow to show my adaptions that allows my 10" campoven to be used in it.

I have also bought a gas hose to make it more fuel efficient at home.

---

Looks good.  These little portable hooded BBQ's are the ducks nuts.

That looks real nice Rick. I must be dreaming I thought my were on a diet.

Ducks nuts, I wholeheartedly agree with that  [smiley=chef.gif]

It's healthy eating Dr Shackles, not a diet  :)

Well done Rick!

Jeff

Cut out the cheese and dressings and it will be even more healthier ;)

I've got to say that our new Baby Q has been earning its keep during the arrival of our belated wet season this past weeknor so.  We've done two pork roasts inside a week the crackling has been so good.  Even our cat, Munchkin, gnawed away on a piece of it, which is quite unusual as he never, ever bothers us of a mealtime.

Another 3 inches of rain last night and just waiting to see if this low up on the tip of the cape crosses into the Gulf and turns into a cyclone.  Then we WILL get some rain.

The forum is light on with foodie fotos Seamus, so how about extracting the finger, and start clicking  away ;D

So, Dr Derek has arrived on the scene to assist Dr Shackles  ;D

Reasonably healthy food going in my gob I reckon  :P :P

Even my roast beef was very, very lean. I can't remember what cut it was now, but first time using it.

Twice I have tried to impress others with my jumbuck and failed  :'( :)

Took it to my BIL's BBQ to show how it works and burnt the sausages  :D

Had my sons over tonight and was going to BBQ some chicken thighs coated in seasoned flour.

Bloody gas wouldn't work. Tried a couple of different bottles. Must be because I have been cleaning it by giving a pressured squirt with the garden hose.

Must have water in the pipes and jets  ::)

Hillbilly frying pan came to the rescue inside  :)

Well at least you are not blaming it on the Jumbuck. Those two scenarios could have happened to you using any BBQ including a Webber Q. :)

Well Rufuz... I always seem to have my mobile close handy and it takes pretty good piccys but I don't know how to get the fotos from the fone to the computer!!

Always seem to forget to have the main camera, which I do (now) know how to do downloads from.

So, the digit has been duly extracted and we'll try and become more foto conscious (when the rain stops).

Seamus  8-) 8-)

Seamus the simplest way to get photos from your phone to your computer is to use your phone to email them to yourself. Then open the email on your computer.

I knew that!!  I was just wondering if anyone else did.

I also tell lies.    ;) ;)

Thanks Brian

Seamus

We'll done Seamus on your enthusiasm with the forum and extracting that Big Green Thumb  ;D ;D

I post on here straight from my phone sometimes, so have a play with doing that  ;)

Bunning's are selling the Jumbucks for $129 at the moment.

Looks good, how much are they normally Ruff certainly enjoys is one. I could be tempted to buy one, maybe I should drink a six pack and get my son to drive me to Bunnings  I often buy things I don’t really need if I have had a few it’s just easy to justify yourself that you need one.  ;D

Not sure if Bunnings have Sales.

The regular price is $129.

I later bought a gas hose and a reducer for about $30.

I can now use a portable gas canister or a 9kg or smaller gas bottle.

I still need to get the gas flame lower to get the temp down for baking.

Enjoyed some tender bbq'ed steak last night and then tried baking a cake.

It was ready in 1/2 hr and turned out looking something like a pudding  ;D

By putting a mesh plate down lower to the flame, I can fit a 10" campoven inside it.

I look forward to cooking dinner on this most nights now.

Sunday was breakkie, lunch and dinner.

This was dinner, a hands on affair   :)

http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad174/rufzgutz/Mobile%20Uploads/F2FE834B-D6B5-4C10-BB4C-916B853EC025_zpsadhktpay.jpg

Don't you just love these little BBQ's.

Here is a photo of nice roast dinner cooked two nights ago.

Last night we did pork chops.

---

I took pleasure in stirring up BabyQ users in the past.

Eating humble pie now. The bees neez, ducks gutz, these BBQ ovens are Brilliant.

I now see why everyone raves on about the food cooked in these BBQ's.

I baked some sweet potato and normal potato wedges the other night.

In around 15 mins they were some of the best wedges I have done.

Still learning, still burning a few things now and then, but this is so versatile and easy to use.

I still squirt it to clean it, but direct the hose away from the jets now.

Bloody Nora  :o

Last nights roast lamb and this mornings paper

---

If I didn't already have so much outdoor cooking/BBQ'ing gear I may consider getting one. A mate invited us around for turkey done in his Weber Q and it was extremely tasty. It was done with no basting or seasoning of any sort and could not have been better. As Derek says, the Baby Q is very popular with the grey nomads. We just do not have the room for one in our compact motorhome, as the camp oven takes preference.
Stubby.

Bloody Nora once again  :o

They are following me.

Bbq'ed a few snags yesterday and will have a play again today.

This Sunbeam has a cord attached  8-) ;D

Na. That's just an electric frying pan with a high dome lid.

Cooks a nice steak and thick wedgies [smiley=chef.gif]

Did a lean beef roast tonight using the weber foil tray and a couple of trivets.

Roasted to my perfection.

Pretty we'll fool proof these bbq's and that suits me  :D :D

---

Hi i got one of these and i got the gm110 hose for it as well but when i go to use the hose no gas comes out. do u use the same hose.

I have had no problems with the GM 110 gas hose.

Can't help you out with your problem, but Google is  your friend  :)

When I bought my jumbuck in a country bunnings store, the staff couldn't help me with my hose selection.

Back in the city I was asking a staff member about the type of hose and they had these in stock.

Still love my jumbuck, but not using as much in the winter months.

A couple of nights ago, I did grill some frozen barramundi and once again cooked to perfection  :)

---

I bought a pizza stone with a stand and a cutter today at Bunnings.

http://www.bunnings.com.au/bbq-buddy-pizza-stone-stand-with-cutter_p3170908

Perfect fit in the Jumbuck  [smiley=clap.gif]

Cooked pizzas tonight and I have said it before, but I love this little outfit.

I think the regular price is now $99 for the jumbuck Orion and I have been tempted to buy another one and leave it at Port Lincoln.

If you have any Father's Day money left over, you can't go wrong with one of these bbq's

---

The weather is warming up, and the jumbuck is coming out to play more often now.

Had both sons over for dinner last night and the night before.

Pizzas using low sodium mission wraps as a base take only 3-4 minutes to cook on the pizza stone.

Baked 4 whole King George Whiting and served them with salads.

Tonight we enjoyed baked spuds cooked on the pizza stone which worked a treat.

Going back to the blocked gas hose, I did come across this problem a month ago. Not sure what caused it, but maybe something to do with starting heat beads on top of the gas burners  :D

I put my mouth over the gas inlet on the BBQ and did what the big bad wolf did  ;D

It worked after that  :)

Can't help but enjoy cooking outdoors with the jumbuck. No wonder people also rave on about their weber Q's.

So simple, so quick.

Wedges and Atlantic salmon (frozen)

Quick and easy by the looks!

Jeff

Roast Lamb Sat (39 deg in Adelaide)

Two Large Roast chickens Sun (41 deg in Adelaide)

Both cooked so tender in my outdoor kitchen [smiley=drool5.gif] [smiley=drool5.gif]

Sat inside in A/C comfort while the jumbuck did it's magic.

I got rid of my 6 burner and 4 burner bbqs after getting my jumbuck.

Having a family do this weekend and also for Xmas so decided another one was needed :D

---

By jum buck there's like a whole family of them
I couldn't resist $60  :o

---

Don't you just love summer.
BBQ and Beers

Aart

What brand of BBQ is that Rolly? Looks similar but not the same as an Orion.

Was that $60 for the spit? I have an ozspit, so can't justify buying another one.

Aart, spot on about summer bbq'ing.

Have been trying a few things lately. First time doing beer can chicken.

Cooking these as I write.

Drumsticks were tender, but dry crispy skin.

Cake was easy. Might have to be my dec challenge entry.

Rufzgutz wrote on Dec 23^rd, 2015 at 3:36pm:

You've been cooking up some nice tucker there Rick. That drum stick holder is a beauty.

Jeff

I could be wrong ruffz but I thought the spit was a jumbuck and yes purchased at bunnings for $60 last year yes your right about the oz spits heard they were pretty good Derek I also thought I saw those drumstick thingy sat southern metal spinners site I could be wrong again since I've been on holidays everything seems to be a blur the pork turned out ok so that was a bonus

---

I was referring to your BBQ in the background Rolly.

The spit would be a jumbuck coming from Bunnings.

How do you keep the heatbeads from falling down  ;D ;D

My beer can chicken was as good as I have ever cooked chicken.very juicy.

Cooked a couple more tonight in a roasting dish. Good, but not as good as the beer can.

A boneless leg of lamb and a turkey roll in the jumbuck tomorrow morning.

39 degrees for Xmas Day tomorrow. A/C comfort inside while the jumbuck roasts away outside  :)

Should go well with our leg ham, prawns and oysters  [smiley=drool5.gif] [smiley=drool5.gif] [smiley=drool5.gif]

That's pretty hot rufz raining here today the BBQ in the back is a baby q the other thing is a gas smoker / oven which I have only ever baked biscuits in not sure what you mean about the heat beads but man I'm feeling hungry now looking at them chickens  :D

Cooked my lamb and turkey roll, but lamb was tough for some reason?

Slow roasted for 3 hrs. Maybe the vertical slicing, being boneless.

Must learn what slicing with the grain is all about.

Turkey roll is foolproof cooking in the foil and turned out just right.

Luckily the ham, prawns and oysters was all we really needed.

I was talking about your vertical spit Rolly

Mighta been a billy goat.   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Billy Goat? Baa humbug  :D

I have been enjoying cold roast lamb sangas the last cuppla days.

Probably the best way to eat lamb as you can cut off most of the fat.

---

Is that a shoulder or boned leg???

It is a boned leg. Didn't see the butcher de-bone it, but watched him put the netting on.

I know lots of people like a leg of lamb but for me the shoulder is a much more softer and palatable meat.

Whatever it is, it looks delicious. Now pass me a fresh bread roll and the gravy.

I have seen some recent photos in Facebook Land of a certain "chicken skin eater", that made me skin my drumsticks tonight  :)

Brushed them with a marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire, sweet chilli, chilli flakes, maple syrup, paprika and pepper.

I could add a foil tray down low to prevent the charring, but they added to the taste.

I reckon even Deano would be happy with these  :D

Not dry like the skin on drumsticks, so I have found a new frugal favourite food.

---

Looking good.

I usually use a marinade of a mix of soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger and sesame oil for chicken drumsticks and wings.

I am still on the lookout for one of those holders.

My BIL offered me his unwanted spit assembly and I jumped at it.

Fitted it to my older jumbuck and gave it a test run today

I don't often cook pork, but this little roast came up pretty good.

I slow cooked for 3 hrs before thinking about covering the top with alfoil.

Brought the lid temp up from 150 to just over 200 degrees.

Will experiment with a s/s cover next time.

Might get some crackle if I do that. But this one was good because I just cut off the fat.

---

Mmmmm love pork roast.

Jeff

You sure you are not the agent for Jump Bucks Rick ?? :D :D

Just sharing the love, shackles  :-*

For $99 + $22 for a hose, you can't go wrong with one of these units.

The spit is just another option for cooking on this. It also can take a 10" camp oven with my modification.

Was at the butcher man today and saw chicken legs $1.99 kg so I too started surfing the net Derek came up with this
http://www.amazon.com/King-Kooker-12WR-12-Slot-Poultry/dp/B00CJ6EU36 what it cost I save in drumsticks

That is a good find Rolly.

You may have helped skinnify a few blokes here if they skin their legs  :D

Not sure whether they will fit in a babyq?

I haven't tried yet, but could see this working in a 15" or larger camp oven.

I would have bought one but by the time you add freight then convert it all to Aussie Dollars I thought $39.49 a bit much.

---

Well I'll grab one you grab one we just need another 3 people and we get free shipping  :)

I don't think the free postage applies to outside of the US of A :)

Cooked the tenderest roast leg lamb today ever.

3 & 1/2 hrs on low setting, the last hour with gas bottle throttled right down and raised the lid a little to get the temp down to around 180.

Cooked in an oven bag which held all of the juices and flavour in. The jumbuck is high enough that the oven bag doesn't touch the sides and burn.

I have never carved a leg of lamb like this before. I could have used a butter knife.

Not very good photos, but should give an idea.

And the last photo is of the ribeye steak cooked in the jumbuck last week. (Posted elsewhere)

The best bit of meat that both of us have ever eaten.

Taking my jumbuck on a caravan holiday this week, so hope to enjoy some more tasty feeds.

That lamb looks really, really yummy.  Doesn't get any better.

You are right about the better cuts of beef.  I have for quite some time now been addicted to the sirloin steaks from Aldi.  They come cryovaced with two steaks in each pack and are around $27 a kilo.  Even sliced for a stir fry or Thai curry they are great.

The beauty is for us travelling is that the use by date can be anything up to a month away and I am sure that the longer you keep them the tenderer they get.

I wanted the lamb tender, as we were having lamb & gravy rolls for an easy meal for 7 adults.

No leftovers unfortunately  :'(

Couldn't see me ever using expensive cuts for stir fries, Derek  :o

I like buying aged meat from the butcher, so use by dates are a benefit for me  :)

Where can I get butchers string??

Master Butchers http://www.mblsa.com.au/Sausage-Casings-Net-_and_-Twine/Twine%2C-Skewers-_and_-Toothpicks/pl.php ; or Ebay.

A lot of  places es that sell kitchen stuff has it General traders Tea tree plaza  creative cooks by bunnings at parafield and some bbq shops as well

Roasted a large chook tonight in the caravan park. Foil container didn't fit, so a bit of squashing was required.

I like using an oven bag and lemon slices to cook very tender chicken. Was too relaxed tonight and forgot to break the bag to crisp the skin.

The dished plate shows how I like my roast spuds with just a squirt of tomato sauce

Just looking at that table you need more booze  ;D

Food looks fantastic.   [smiley=chef.gif]

Roast looks fantastic ruffz but is that tomato sauce on your roasted spuds???  It's gotta be a south oz thing surely ::)
Never seen it here before but always worth a try never say never :)

It's not a South Oz thing Rolly but a family thing.

I love tomato sauce on beef/lamb/potatoes and gravy.

Always have, maybe a Broken Hill thing?

My daughter is the weird one. She also squirts tomato sauce on fish/calamari yuk  :D

New Years Day Brunch.

Very nice.  We had a fruit smoothie made on organic rice milk with mango and banana.

No photos. :D

I could have done with a feed of that this morning Rufz!!!!
But I went back to bed  :-[ getting to old for my own good

A simple boneless leg lamb roast by the river.

I'm thinking of baking a loaf of bread today.

Another notch in jumbucks belt.

Would have nailed it if I didn't cross the River to the pub during the 2nd rising  :D

A few hours later I reckon it tripled in height. It collapsed like a balloon when I touched it  :o

Still made a delicious bread spread with Vegemite and jam. Enjoyed by all.

Not bad, not bad at all.

This would be the easiest cook up in the jumbuck so far.

Marinated pork ribs were on special, so gave them a go tonight.

Easy peasy, and delish

Looks pretty good Rufz   [smiley=cheers2.gif]

They tasted even better Jack  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Even Cindy ate one and she normally can't stand pork. Will eat bacon and ham, but dry reaches if I suggest some pork  :D

Discarded about 1/3rd of the ribs because of the fat.

Will do again, but with leaner ribs.
