Our new Weber arrived in the mail, but I am still waiting on a fer extra bits for it.
I have ordered the side tables from weber but after a bit of research I think I should have bought a set of stainless-steel tables of Kaon.

When the Genuine Weber tables arrive, I will fit them for now anyhow.
I have a also bought box of the BBQ skins as I thought it is new, so why not try them from new.

You regret buying that a top bit of kit. It took me a few goes to get the heat right.

Link not working for me cheers Robert

Muzz I think it will be just a matter of getting the right temp and time, my first try using it worked well I thought, just not enough crackle.
This Kaon company make a few bits for the Weber just not side tables, I might look into their roasting tray one day.

John, with your pork not crackling.

Compare the two photos below.  On mine is the genuine Weber convection tray and as you can see it is far smaller that your foil one.  I would suggest that yours being larger could be restricting the flow of heat around the roast and that is why your crackling did not set.

Try cutting the foil to just a fraction bigger than the trivet.

Cheers

The Quick connect unconnected.

I have looked at them before and wondered how they would go long term particularly with cleaning.

Second link worked ok good fathers day present for me.

Actually John, that is a very good idea, saving the plate for baking.  I know at home, where I can be using the pit near every day, I go through quite a lot of trays on my bigger Weber Q and this would be a good idea.

I do use the trays quite a few times but I always seem to be buying them.

Just tried to order the side tables and tray but would not load in to the cart. Cheers

Keep this up John and you will have to start calling it a Weber/Kaon hybrid.   

I only recently saw those drip trays.  I think I have got used to wiping the drip up.  To me it is one of the faults with Weber.

Not trying to encourage you to keep buying more but have you looked at the saucepan and trivet.  Often thought the trivet would be good for us on a hot day for boiling the kettle outside rather than inside on the gas in the motorhome.

Ordered the Tray and side tables last night, figured the kids could buy them for me for fathers day. Trivet looks good. Cheers

Trouble is, we don’t have a Aldi in North Qld.

Looks good is the scrapper from Kaon as well? My side tables and tray expected Friday with any luck. Cheers Robert

I tested the new roasting tray today along with the BBQ Meat thermometer. Happy with both items, with this sort of meal the tray stayed clean enough, and the temp probe worked well.
I did note a difference with the weber thermometer in the lid to the probe by around 30deg,

That is a nice looking meal John.  I have never thought much about using foil containers but would certainly keep things cleaner.

I have often wondered that because the thermometer is at the top and with the openings at the bottom and sides whether the heat that is trapped in the dome could give off a higher reading than what it actually is.

Use foil trays a lot even in the house oven. If not over dirty will clean and reuse but if a full pork roast normally bin it.

My side tables and tray arrived thinking of another tray for the dirty side of life, enjoy Robert

Made some bread rolls while camping last weekend.

I have been using the weber, not as much as I would like though.
A couple of pork roasts that came out well.
And a chicken dish I tried using a recipe from McKenzie’s that I liked as wall.

Baked Chicken with White Beans & Chorizo
Ingredients
¾ cup McKenzie's White Beans
1 ½ tbsp olive oil
8 chicken thighs, skin on and on the bone
1 onion, finely sliced
120g chorizo, sliced 
2-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
400g can chopped tomatoes
¾ cup water To taste,
Salt and pepper Grinder To taste
Green Vegetables to serve.
Directions.
Pre-cook beans to pack directions, set aside.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a heavy based pan. Sear each side of chicken until golden. Set aside.
Heat remaining oil in pan and cook the onions, chorizo and garlic for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, water and beans. Simmer for 5 minutes and season well.
Transfer tomato mixture to a baking dish and nestle the chicken pieces on top. Bake at 180oC for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Serve with green vegetables.

That recipe reads very nicely John.
I think I'll give it as well.

Well John, that chicken recipe is going to be a regular here.  I did add some oregano to the sauce and I also used a can of beans..

Really, really nice.
