foreign [Music] to the channel now today not only are we putting some incredible barbecue
gadgets to the test but we're also filming this in the very place where we'll be hosting
our wild Weekender Yep this is one of three kitchens that we will bring you oodles and
oodles of food and fun during that weekend but today it's about gadgets
baz lift the colossian number one oh it's a beer bucket but you know we forgot to close
him we've got clothes we brought beer buckets we forgot the clutch ah okay I've seen you
use one of these before yes but I'm gonna be honest I don't know what you're doing with
it is that just applicable to this or many other things in your life so many many too
many things in my life um I've seen you put coal in this and heat it up to then put into
your barbecue so yeah this is a Chimney Starter essentially you pack it full of uh your charcoal
you light it from the bottom with one of your fire lighters and it will heat up your charcoal
quicker than if you put it in your barbecue which is one thing and secondly if you need
to refill the charcoal in your barbecue it's a great way to get it started so what you're
saying is this is for the impatient or the prepared how does it make light tea in the
barbecue any easier if anything is any more complicated having more things no because
you're putting the charcoal in there and then because it's in such a confined space it gets
hotter quicker with air holes oh like a chimney without the air holes yeah
it directs the current of air from the bottom up through the charcoal makes it hotter quicker
it's one of the things I've seen barbecue enthusiasts to you but I can't imagine myself
using it seems a bit excessive well why don't we put it to the test sure so put any fire
lighting stuff in yeah pop your charcoal in I know how this works mate you're putting
it to the test the thing is when I've seen you do this all right it feels like you're
flexing and in any normal situation you get your matches or you're lighter and you would
light your fire starters from underneath but Kush has a bar the Kush has a blow too okay
right through the
coils arms
lovely probably worth saying completely unnecessary you can absolutely just start your briquettes
as you would in a barbecue it would just take longer the question is does the gadget make
it quicker easier and more convenient that's been 15 minutes the coals are white and glowing
and it's freaking hot well let's get them on the barbecue the beauty of this is you
can preheat your coals anywhere you want and then move it to the barbecue you've got this
thermoplastic handle and it's nicely contained so then you can actually arrange your coals
into your barbecue so you have hot and cool end or you can put them basically wherever
you want okay
now I've lit many a charcoal barbecue in my time I've never used one either and I usually
allow 40 45 minutes for those coals to get going I was 15.
while it's out there cooling down what do you think at the first system I've used it
and it is impressive how quick it is but for me the real draw for me of it is the idea
of refilling because first time out I'm kind of happy to waste a little bit of time but
actually when you realize that the first coals are cooling down you want some more on there
and it's running low a second lot is working those things that I think it's brilliant it's
still for someone who loves to barbecue a lot and gets through a lot of coal I agree
I think the heating of the barbecue is part of the occasion and you normally do it for
friends or family and it's very social if it's a big Gathering and you need more coals
to add to it I think that's where it probably makes most sense or if you're doing a really
long slow cook and you know 12 hours in you need a top up price wise 27 nine oh okay and
needless to say it's not a one-use Wonder that's actually quite affordable in my head
I was expecting to be like near 100
all but it's full enthusiasts and enthused to pay anything for something that makes more
things things easier I've been in America and seen them in supermarkets for ten dollars
okay we've bought a Weber one because it's a it's a proper one and they they aren't as
popular in the UK as they are the us but in the US they are everywhere they're super cheap
but I shows I know nothing well thanks for watching uh I think we've all found out something
that we didn't really need you knew I knew nothing that's definitely for sure.
So Baz, do you think this is smoking hot or going up in smoke I don't think it's about
my opinion because they're so popular for people who love to barbecue so they are smoking
hot right we started simple wait for the next one
number two I feel much happier about the fact it fits under the cloth lifted Jay
oh what is that there's two pieces to it so I would say that this looks and feels like
a thermometer and this is called Billows so I feel like it's going to help provide air
you know when you light a campfire I'm presuming BBQ is the same and to get it going down on
all fours right up close and just oh
yeah you're right Joe this is signals and below for two work together signals is the
measurement of temperature Billows helps the barbecue get the right temperature and then
hold it there interesting so it's a lot like what my barbecue does as the master built
in terms of doing that bit but it can turn any barbecue into that yeah and signals has
multiple temperature inputs as well so you can be measuring multiple types of meat and
the temperature of those real barbecue four in fact heads the contract excellent have
we got something interesting to test it how close we have
I reckon we could test that yeah that is spaff approved let's get outside for this one we
get even lower so Jay come down most barbecues there's a Inlet or Outlet where you can kind
of blow some air into it to heat up the coals these have a little prong end of it pinch
slide it in there we go let go and I didn't burn myself maybe do this before you put like
put charcoal in the bag and get it hot yeah yeah yeah I'm gonna stand up now okay my Billows
are plugged in I'm plugging in my air sensor
if you did the lid we've already installed the thermometer in the barbecue to measure
the air it's ready should we get our meeting yeah so temperature wise we'll be displaying
80 degrees Celsius yep and uh 20 degrees Celsius so we've set an alarm so that the signals
will go off when the internal temperature of the stake reaches 50 degrees Celsius at
that point we know it's cooked through and we can just whack the heat right up and sear
it to finish it off and the beauty is the Billows will bring it up to the internal air
temperature you want and then we'll adjust the fan to keep it there which means we can
go got our feet up relax and be notified when it's ready yeah I made better by the fact
there's an app there's a small app which can connect via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth so you don't
even have to be with it [Music] thank you
[Music]
but it smells good so how was that as an experience I've only used my barbecue in a way that can
control temperature and move it up and move it down as you want it knowing that I could
do that on a range of different barbecues is actually really interesting because it
means you're not going down one Avenue the only way to test it really is to see if this
um this rib eye is in I don't think it matters it smells all right [Music] Cheers Cheers
interestingly we've reviewed a number of kitchen appliances recently that do exactly that indoors
the fact that this can kind of plug into the bottom of your outdoor grill it's kind of
cool did the Bellow up make the heating up easier and quicker it was blowing hard it
was in a good way it's not a bad way is there it was blowing properly hard for such a little
thing I was quite surprised the the actual fan inside it is really small but it made
a massive difference price wise for the two comes in a 289 pounds 20 pence
I'm not surprised because it's a big piece of technology that's now been made very small
my whole barbecue that I have is set up to do exactly that and therefore it's an expensive
barbecue so knowing that you're going to have to buy your barbecue and buy this it does
become a very expensive thing but what it does do is give you the control and the ability
and the flexibility to cook big chunks of meat with confidence for me it kind of works
for people who already have a good barbecue that I've had for years and I don't want to
get rid of this is almost this is an upgrade yeah yeah so okay smoking hot oh this one
blowing smoke up yep BBQ I think it's smoking hot because it's giving you control and it's
giving you the flexibility and the confidence and there will only be a certain type of person
that can a afford it and B wants it but if they get it it will do exactly what it says
on the barbecue for me I think the biggest takeout is the upgrade to BBQ might already
have or if you can't afford the top end you can downgrade on barbecue and add this as
an extra and the fact that it's tried and tested and used in competitions around the
world like Barbie competitions it's not just us getting great results it's time to whap
your flip-flops out hi brings you the wild
of live stream sorted Mayhem [Music]
[Applause] [Music] tickets available now see the link below for all the information [Music]
foreign
bird feeder so you watch the birds wear your barbecue oh Bird please could be those right
don't play his game Sorry and a walk from the Vatican there's a hole in your walking
what's this that is a roller so you can put things like vegetables and stuff like that
in it and then you can roll it so you can flip them very easily gotcha move it from
the direct heat to the indirect Heat this makes perfect sense barbecue some fish serve
it with some stir-fried veg like it this feels quite flimsy but I guess it just replaces
the skewer like mushrooms or something in there that you can turn and do and button
mushrooms smaller veg that you can't put on a grill because it's going to fall through
the the holes that you want to be able to turn quickly and easily so best to put on
Bola vegetable Tombola without the hassle of skewing because you just bundle it all
in to do that and away we go yeah can we try it let's give it a go
in one of our rolling cages we've gone for cherry tomatoes and chorizo cut to about the
same size you've got the natural fats from the chorizo in the other one we've got padron
Peppers nothing more than olive oil salt and pepper I don't want to cook the tomatoes all
the way through just blister them which is why turning them regularly is important and
why are rolling cage helps so in the wok we've gone with a selection of easy stir-fry veg
mushrooms corns and Tennessee broccoli some Pak Choy we'll finish with bean sprouts at
the end nothing more than oil over searing coals and we'll finish it with soy bean sprouts
last minute because you barely want to cook those everything a Wok's doing but because
of the holes you get the smoke and the liquor flame too unfortunately the holes does somewhat
ruin the seasoning we'll get the idea how'd you go on I like them oh I like them all because
it enables you to do things you wouldn't think of on a barbecue these
just as you'd get in a restaurant that wonderful chart and color that you expect of a patron
pepper this is delicious because you've got all those natural fats of the chorizo Plus
those wonderful bouncy now hot and bubbling all the way through Tomatoes it's quite nice
once you do it it's seeing the flavors combine yeah where's on a barbecue everyone everything
sticks to his own quarter it's all a bit separate isn't it and the Walker wasn't sure how it
was going to work but what you get is the same effect intense heat and a little lick
of flame that you'd get if you had a wok burner I told you he likes his vegetables licked
it's difficult to make a sauce around your vegetables yeah but actually all you want
a little bit of seasoning bad taste like it was made in a barbecue they've done it in
the normal Wok it taste like anywhere try one of those tomatoes [Music] ho hell it's
hot you know I'm gonna be honest the walk I had high hopes for the bird feeders felt
flimsy and I wasn't convinced by but the results you can get if you put the right things in
nice so when it comes to price you're looking at 36 pound 99 for three of the rollers oh
okay so 12 quid each and 15.99 for the wok that feels like a no-brainer okay I wish I
could buy those individually I'd buy one for 12 quid 36 is quite an investment and I'm
not sure I'd have that many things I want to roll on my barbecue you probably can buy
them individually or repurpose a bed feeder go to cut Garden Center and you can probably
get one for 3.99 there might be a bird in there already no you feed no no Amber's question
is smoking hot or is it going up in smoke both the wok and the bird feeders smoking
hot [Music] I'm glad there's a chef in the seat now because it's about to get very technical
we couldn't do this by ourselves Evers lift the clutch what the hell it looks like the
kind of ornaments you get garden centers that you like grow plants if there wasn't a barbecue
episode I'd say this is for like potholder for herbs or something because it's a motorbike
with a pot it can be whatever you want it to be it is can I just read you some of the
uh words from the website and it might help lead us down the path to to find out what
it actually is this badass Patriot chick doesn't want anyone to tell her what to do she ran
away from home at a very young age and has something to prove imagine how impressed your
friends will be when you show up with this freedom rider motorcycle
the Frog does that sexist description give anything away no one would write that in 2023
unless it referred to a chicken rather than chick we're getting closer that's right Edwards
continue down that train of thought if we gave you this does that help this I'm okay
okay I know where we are this is ridiculous but this is cool so DJ BBQ first showed me
beer can chicken and Christian's a bit of a legend and I honestly thought what a novelty
what an unnecessary thing but essentially chicken steamed from the inside with whatever
you want in this case beer the fact that chicken is now going to be sat on a motorbike that
is an uncomfortable seat isn't it
oh yeah yeah we've got you a lovely organic free-range chicken there is uh mayonnaise
that is a wonderful shot we've got mayonnaise to help stick the rub to it but I've never
seen it anymore most of the mayonnaise came from inside that chicken in the first place
oh yeah yeah it does it does feel like you're just lotioning up no no not with your hand
in it and we're giving you a rub with chili garlic paprika cumin and some seasoning something
yeah basically yeah and it's open and half drunk and slice and said the bird yep which
acts as the seat yeah this is ridiculous the Wings clip in here yeah so that it doesn't
fall off exactly and ebbas you've missed one vital piece [Music] this is wrong on so many
levels don't drink and drive kids [Music]
I mean it worked and it looks ridiculous then it's worked perfectly I think our job here
is done this is a gift for that barbecue Enthusiast this is Father's Day a birthday present some
kind of silly gift no one is buying this for themselves I disagree it's like there are
many people in the comments who have bought this for themselves what I like about it the
most is it's harmless fun bringing your chicken to the table Yeah is predictable yeah this
really mixes things up a bit doesn't it it's a surprise for everybody it's like right it
takes you for a ride yeah yeah it's a centerpiece and there is no doubting the beer can approach
with the helping of the steaming from inside is is a fun one it's a good one the rub helps
the gadget [Music] I'm here for it it's pretty I love it yes well the neighbors uh what if
I told you that this costs nine pound 99 Pence then it's definitely in the gift Market
yeah
well ever so you're gonna ride off into the sunset or is it just blowing smoke up this
is steaming beer up the chickens I'm on board with this I'm gonna ride off into sunset with
it that was very cleverable well they're just our thoughts on the gadgets but let us know
comments downstairs and don't forget this is the exact place where we're going to be
hosting our sorted live wild Weekender get all the tickets all of the information down
in the description box below it's gonna be amazing where are you going it's gonna be
wild and it's gonna be wet don't miss out
