Coat with a tangle of fresh thyme and let the slow-cooker work its magic. (Allow a six-pack.) Pull it apart, squeeze the lemon over, and the world is a happy place.

and Hop is makin' me thirsty !! Cheesy

I have a Weber too (for years) also known as Old Faithful.
the Big Green Egg is a ceramic cooker that uses lump coal. while you can slow cook on a Weber, there's nothin' like the experience of using the "Egg" for brisket, pork shoulder/butt for pulled pork etc.
you can slow cook for 12 hours or even longer if you have a 30 pack

Nah, just rub two boy scouts together. Get a bright spark every time.

It's as easy as stuffing a whole coral trout with mango, onions and big pieces of pineapple, wrap it in banana leaves, and cook it over coals in the sand for fifteen minutes either side.

Freshly caught crab boiled up right there on the beach, in seawater in a rusty old drum, and no fancy spices are required.

You won't do that on your Weber.

A leg of old sheep rolled in sheet after sheet of wet newspaper and cooked underground for eight hours or more. Potatoes put in last to roast in their skins.

A poor-man's bread dough rolled as a sausage around the end of a green sapling and cooked under the fire. Done to perfection and the stick slides out so you can fill it with jam and cream, and no better profiterole ever walked.

One day I'll be rich and famous, and able to buy a Weber, but hopefully I'll make do until then and those couple of hot rocks will perfectly suit my kookaburra stew.

Another one we pinched from our NZ friends. But nothing
beats a leg of lamb slow cooked over briquettes in the
Weber. We bought our Weber Kettle 37yrs ago, and
it wasn't cheap, but its still cooking as good as ever.

Not much on lamb myself, but maybe I've never had it done right. Brian, why don't you hop up here and show us how it's done? There'll be a bunch of us getting together by Chicago next Sept. I'll even let you cook it in my yard if you want.

The leg of pork sounds good for sure! Love a good tenderloin slow-roasted on the grill.
