Had something similar as a starter at Don Julio a couple of years back :thumbup:

Less keen on the blood sausage.

It was excellent julian. I think you know some people in Atlanta I highly recommend it. Got chorizo as a starter which was ok but the steak was phenomenal.

There is a bloke who imports charcoal from Namibia. He is an old friend of my wife. I use his charcoal and it is brilliant. Whenever we sell a unit we recommend his charcoal. Tonight he invited us out for dinner and I discovered that he has made a good living from selling his charcoal to our clients...who buy 200 bags a month on average.

It was totally unexpected and he wanted to offer a kickback if we recommend his charcoal on our sites...obviously I declined. But I know how outstanding his charcoal is and recommend it anyway...initially his charcoal was too small and would fall between our grids so I mentioned it to him and he got it specially packed for the big pieces...
They just burn for so much longer...Called Hyltons...

The worst charcoal I have tried is Bushbaby...its rubbish...

Sards that South American style rig you built is really impressive. I’d like to to get something like that over here for the right price.

I am glad you enjoyed it! I have a couple of very good friends in Atlanta, an outstanding city! I used to travel for work there.

Not to step on Mr Sards outstanding standing rigs but I read there is a US company making top of the line argentinian style grills. Will get the name and let you know.

What I didn’t enjoy is that the Argie version I had was wetter and less well seasoned/spiced than blood sausage I’ve had elsewhere, so oozing and pretty bland. The only disappointing dish I had in BA.

You can do it with a bit more width and don't neet to put the wheel so high, there are some grills that have the wheel in front.

My grill for example has not moving parts, it is just moving the coals:

Ouboet. Butternut on the braai is the best way to prepare butternut. The smoky flavor is all that's needed to transform a bland tasting vegetable into a great meal to eat.

I have given up trying to educate you about braai....

You are still a caveman when it comes to that...

You still gooi your meat onto the coals and when you are about to pass out from dop the wife takes it off for you...

Braai effort?

I don't sit around taking photo's of food. I eat it. Normally if it's a braai, with huge quantities of alcohol. There would be some sadness if I started taking pics of it.

That is vacío, a premium cut of grass fed cattle, the taste is amazing and you can cut it with a spoon.

The look is because I trimmed some fat from it.

Regarding the butternut squash, it has extra virgin olive oil, some rosemary and sea salt, when is cooked that way for two hours at least you get a very soft, smoked and very very sweet result. Try it!
