Every BlueTongue model comes equipped with a 240v rotisserie kit but who really knows how to use one? Read More

The Chefmaster Galley Series bbqs are delivered fully assembled, and include a cover, rotisserie, esky, rubbish bin, kitchen towel holder, and a wood smoking box (pictured below).    But how do you use a smoking box?
We’ve done some reading, and like the “Firepit and Grilling Guru” website, see extract below. http://www.firepit-and-grilling-guru.com/smoking-wood.html HOW TO USE A SMOKING BOX WITH A GAS OR NATURAL GAS GRILL
Gas grills are not made to accommodate wood and ash within the grill. Therefore, you cannot, or should not, put smoking wood chunks or chips directly in your grill or on the burners. Instead you will need to use a smoking box. These can be found most places where grills and grill accessories are sold. If you don't have one, you can substitute aluminum foil (see below).
 

1. To Soak or Not to Soak - Some people soak their smoking wood chunks or chips before adding to their grill or smoking box. The theory is that if you add dry wood, they will simply burn quickly, releasing some smoke in the process but will be gone before long. If you soak them, they do not ignite quickly and will release savory thick smoke for a longer period of time before burning up. Either way is fine but I prefer to soak them, particularly if I am smoking or cooking for a prolonged period of time. Another option is simply to add additional dry wood periodically as the previous wood burns up to keep up your steady supply of smoke.

1. Fill You Smoker Box - After soaking, simply fill your smoker box with smoking wood and close the lid if there is one. It's that simple!

1. Add to the Grill Before Starting to Cook - You are now ready to add your smoker box to your gas or natural gas grill. Simply add your smoker box between your cooking grate and the burners or heat briquets/stones. The box does not need to be surrounded by flames, in fact it is better if it is not. Just make sure it is close enough to the source of the heat to begin smoking. I prefer to place my smoking wood toward the side of the grill, away from the center of the grill, so that if it ignites and burns the flames will not burn my food. The wood should be added to your grill early before your food. Most wood takes 10 to 20 minutes to start smoking maximally. This varies depending on whether the wood was soaked, the size of the pieces and the heat the wood is exposed to.

This is a great way of making a space work around the water heater by simply using the folding side trays. Kay has also used the Galley series Trim Kit in this installation.

HOW FAR HAS A BLUETONGUE BBQ TRAVELLED?
All our stock leaves from the Sydney warehouse.   Our transport company is Cope Sensitive Freight, they are not the cheapest national transport company, but they are the best in terms of not damaging our product.
So what is the greatest distance a BlueTongue BBQ has travelled?
Our top 3 are: Dampier, WA (x 2!)
Distance: 5,315kms.  52 hours driving, but we reckon the BlueTongue took longer. 
  Darwin, NT
Distance: 3,991kms, a mere 42 hours driving!
 
 Magnetic Island
Distance: 2,096, but that included a ferry ride!
 
What is the greatest distance a BlueTongue BBQ client has travelled to look at our product?
A South Australian couple flew to Melbourne to see our product on display at the Home Ideas Centre in Oakleigh East.  (We also have showrooms in Sydney and Noosa.)
If you do live in one of the more remote areas of Australia don’t hesitate to speak to Bluey about freight rates.  Once the national transport companies get “off the beaten track” they can become very expensive – sometimes a better option can be for us to ship the BBQ to the closest metropolitan depot, and the client arranges their own local delivery to their home.
And our most popular destination? 
Melbourne!  Of course, all the “foodies!!”
