I don't have an oven at the moment, so I do everything in the Kettle barbie. I'm now seriously considering not bothering with an oven at all.

Measure how thick your meat is. Allow one minute per millimeter. This will give you a medium. Reduce time for rare, increase for well done.

You need to make sure the kettle is up to heat first. Each coal basket should be about 4/5 full. Add some soaked hickory wood chips for flavour.

Best cuts are a whole rib on the bone, whole scotch fillet or a rolled rump.

and don't forget to deglaze the roasting pan and use all those lovely meat juices for your gravy
