Does anyone know if you can buy BBQ planks in the Algarve

What's a BBQ plank? There's a cvo member who is as thick as two short planks, would he do?

Interesting concept and quite popular int he USA and Canada, you soak the planks usually made from Apple, Cedar, Cherry or Hickory wood in water for an hour before BBQíng. They also recommend that adding beer, whiskey or wine to the soaking and to add to the falvour that is probably why Gary wants one hic! Anyway my friend in work who is Canadian has one for me she uses so I have a happy Hubby

Hi

You can buy foil trays of various wood chips which you soak and then put in the barbie to smoke your food from Leroy Merlin in Guia

thanks Pickwick it's becasue we have an electric webber BBQ (can't have a fuel one on our balcony) that we want the planks thay you can place not only of fuel but electric BBQs too. But will check out Merlin's and thanks for the link.

Hi Gaynor

I use the trays in my gas Weber so if yours has a lid it will do a 1st class job of smoking the food

I'd heard of the bbq chips that are supposed to add flavour to the food but never bbq planks. Zonda's the big bbq shop at Almancil may stock them.

thanks Blue will try them. it's def the planks we want.
