Judging from the long line of history that backs up Weber barbeque grill, you should know by now how versatile and useful this piece of kitchen device is. With Weber barbeque grill, you can make even the impossible, possible. One good example of that is making baked potatoes using not your conventional oven but, you guessed it right, your Weber grill!
We all know baked potato by heart. It is the most in demand side dish for a wide variety of main course meals. It goes well with steaks and chops and barbeques that it can be greatly considered a staple in barbeque parties. Since barbeque parties are usually held outdoors, hosts prepare baked potatoes beforehand and bring them out for the party cold and not really appetizing. This kind of problem is now solved because you do not just make baked potato through the oven, you can also make one using Weber barbeque grill.
Yes, your Weber grill can serve as a useful cooking device that will cook your main dish along with your side dish without sweat. Here is a simple yet tasty baked potato recipe that would not require an oven, just your reliable and dependable barbeque grill:
What you will need:
* Potatoes
* Oil (you may use any kind of oil according to your preference. For added flavor, you may choose to substitute melted butter)
* Salt and pepper (you may add in other spices and herbs, according to your taste)
* Aluminum foil
What to do:
1. Wash your potatoes well. You can make potato halves or whole, depending on your preference. If you want potato halves, cut the potatoes using the knife. You may score the top part for added beauty, which can also speed up the grilling process.
2. Spread or brush oil (or butter) onto the aluminum foil to keep your dish moist. Put the seasoning -- salt, pepper, herbs, and other spices - for the flavor. Put the potato next and wrap it with the foil.
3. Preheat your Weber barbeque grill. Make sure that the heat has stabilized before putting in your potatoes.
4. Place your potatoes on the grill. For oven-like results, use indirect grilling. This means that you put your potatoes away from the flame. Just make sure that the heat circulating is enough by keeping the lid on for the duration of the grilling time. Since you are wrapping your potatoes in aluminum foils, you need not to worry about charred results. You may place the potatoes directly on top of the flame for that delicious smoky flavor. Remember to turn the potatoes once to cook them through.
5. Serve. You may prepare your baked potato slightly ahead of your steak or pork chop since it cooks longer. If it is cooked already and you are still waiting for the main dish to be finished, don't fret. You can leave the potatoes on your Weber barbeque grill with the foil on and just pop them out when you are ready to serve.

Whether you just want to have a relaxing family meal or plan on having guests over for a party, the BBQ is a great option. It fits the bill for so many occasions! The BBQ is great for setting the tone of an evening, there is something about a BBQ that tends to relax people more than any other party theme.
The obvious key to the BBQ party is the BBQ grill itself. Now if you don't already have a BBQ grill you have a lot of options when it comes to getting one. One option is the store bought BBQ, these are a good option if you have plenty of money to spend, a good sturdy model that won't fade away after one or two seasons will cost you quite a bit!
For me the better value for money is in building your own brick BBQ grill. It takes quite a bit more effort than just driving down to the local store and buying one but once you've finished it's well worth the effort.
If you're weighing up whether or not to go for a brick BBQ in your back yard, here's a couple of things worth considering;
1) Security: If you have a secure yard or a secure garage to lock your shiny new store bought BBQ safely away in, great, you can sleep easy knowing it won't be stolen. However if you don't have a garage and your yard isn't so secure then a brick BBQ is your best bet, because it obviously wont be robbed from your garden.
2) Frequency of Use: If you intend to use your BBQ grill regularly, then a brick BBQ grill that's permanently in position will be perfect. However if you're not sure just how much you'll use your new grill maybe its best to buy a cheap grill from the store, just to see if you get enough use from it, before you go building a permanent BBQ fixture in your garden.
3) Space: How much space have you got to work with? If your garden is a reasonable size, well then a brick BBQ should sit nicely into it without taking over. But if you can barely swing a cat in your yard, maybe a smaller BBQ from the store is a better idea.
When all is said and done, a brick BBQ will suit the vast majority of yards, remember you can tailor the size and look of the whole thing to suit your space.
