@Hooroo Bacon AND chilli. You are just fucking crazy!
So O.K. Chilli boy (yeah sorry, missing the rugby). Some help please.
A mate has decided to give me a quiz and handed me a random bag of various scoville ratings. As much as my wife can drive me crazy, I'm not yet at the point of giving her a Carolina reaper in her food. Give me another week of lockdown.
Could you please identify these? I have some clues but can't identify all of them.

I can’t sorry mate. The left red one looks like a Rocoto. There is a ghost I think.
Are you on Facebook? Join chilliheads New Zealand. They will identify them as it is great for getting seeds and knowledge. Follow Chilli Gaz.

@nzzp gas. I’m proper shit with charcoal and I think the Weber gets 90% the way there.
yep, a decent gas gets you a long way down the path. They are just so convenient - I'm teaching my boys to bbq and starting them on the Gas Weber.
that said, there are two major disadvantages - water and nitrates/other stuff. Burning methane in gas always produces water vapour, which affects the cooking. Charcoal, OTOH, burns straight with no water release. I think you see that in the crust that forms on meat.
Chemical equation (I think): Nat gas CH4 --> C02 + 2H20 vs Charcoal: C+02 --> C02then there's all the nitrates (predominantly) in the charcoal. Charcoal has a flavour that gas doesn't - so yo uget a flavoured cook. It's superb, and enhances the steak
Finally, gas bbq don't seem to get as hot as a charcoal fire. Probably due to safety (pffft), but I've taken the bubba keg up to 450-500C (and bricked myself a little, I'll be honest).
So yeah, I use both. My baby WeberQ made me lazy on the charcoal front, as it gets you most of the way there. there's still nothing like charcoal, though

@Hooroo how big are those, they look substantial!
Really big. As long as a middle finger and about an inch in diameter

I honestly think curry is my favourite thing to cook

Can you upload photos straight from your phone now?
-
@voodoo said in Recipes, home grown goodness, BBQing and food stuff:
Sometimes have to make files < 1mb to work.
Yep, not sure what the max size is?
Otherwise you will get told that your entity is too big. Whilst flattering, it doesn't help you post a picture. -
@mariner4life have been able to for years...scroll as far right on the tool bar on your phone and use the little pic icon.

Are you on iPhone mate?? If so when you hit the photo upload on the right hand side there, select medium size

And take your photo in landscape or it will spin it on its side.

Saag was a ripper. Left a bit too much sauce in due to personal preference, and laziness brought on by a couple of arvo beers. Heaps of extra heat, lamb falling apart.
Kofta on point as well. Sauce toned down to meet children's tastebuds.
Photos too big
