El Presidente's Cuban BBQ

[asmith]

State of Origin last night, there has been enough mentioned on the forum this morning about that, mainly from NSW supporters crying again.

Anyway we had a crowd of cigar lovers over last night on the deck to watch the game, have a few drinks, laugh at NSW's offense and have a BBQ. Everything was going fine till a large fire broke out on the BBQ while Ayala was cooking. Sorry about a quality of the pictures but I didn't have time to grab the good camera just a snap on my iPhone before someone saved the day and put out the flames with a fire extinguisher.

As Rob says a Cuban BBQ is poor food cooked badly, which was made even worse on the night as one of Australia's top chefs was there who decided against eating the pork chops that were over grilled and had a hint of fire extinguisher to them when they were eventually served.

Always entertaining Rob

Probably don't need the light attachment.

You folks really, really need to fly brazoseagle to do your next BBQ. I'm sure he'd work for cigars...

[lostsoulcamero]

Maybe you should cater next time

[headstand]

Bit of a grease fire? Had that happen to me - when I had guests over.

[El Presidente]

Great night....from what I can remember

It should be pointed out Smithy that the first BBQ pre- game went without a hitch. Unfortunately the Half Time BBQ coincided with a few drinks under my belt. If you cook 100 pork spare ribs .....a grease fire is apparently a certainty

Rob, they do make smaller cigar lighters! That is the true meaning of going extreme, no wonder the hair line is receding!

Did you guys try closing the lid?

(and turning off the gas...)

Much more spectacular to hit it with the fire extinguisher.

After several drinks not everyone remembers the physical properties of fire!

Good to hear that you guys had the party all fired up

[khamy]

for a moment there, i thought it was the previous bbq post, then i saw the mention of the origin shocker of a game.

[Ken Gargett]

seriously, the amount of scotch rob has put in his system in the last day or so at my place, i'm amazed he didn't burst into flames.

I drank to forget that you were in your underwear ....and refused to put pants on.

At least in this shot....your legs were crossed

The horror

[semery74]

Frankly I'm not sure why Kiwis are so upset that Australians were voted the happiest people in the world. Looks to us that you'll soon be running from your fun in your skivvies.

You guys are living it large.

Rob - don't you want to open a branch in Israel...?

[Fuzz AI]

Spare ribs should be cooked low and slow for 5-6 hours... As said previously, you need a Kamado type BBQ, like a Big Steel Keg.

Magnus is right, get yourself a kamado. Here's one for sale on eBay, pick is in your area: BGE for sale

Though, to be completely honest, for you sake... and the safety of theveryone else around you, please stay away from the BBQ.

[ramon_cojones]

Some day I will experience one of these legendary fire hazard bbqs.

[mazolaman]

You could always douse the fire with Ken's undercrackers....
