APPS PIT PAL Has anyone ever told you that barbecue is all about science? Specifically: Consistency, control and technology. Or at least that’s the credo of the creators of the Pit Pal BBQ App (free, iOS and Android) a free tool designed to help grillers create consistently awesome barbecue. The app is a dream for lovers of data and stats, allowing you to track temperatures of various meats over the span of a cook, as well as common events such as mopping, adding coal or wood, saucing and foiling. The goal is for the user to track the history for any foods involved in a cook, and then be able to access that data in order to achieve consistency in grilling. A pro version is available for $2 extra that allows for charting and exporting of data. GRILLTIME GrillTime is a unique app that serves as both a grilling guide and a timer in one. Simply pick the cut of meat that you desire, its thickness, and how "done" you would like your meat to be. GrillTime will let you know the ideal amount of time that you will need to grill your meat and what temperature you should grill it at. Who wouldn't love a universall app that will tell you when to flip your steak or burger and when it's done? it depends on you to enter usage information. It will also BBQ TANKMETER show you nearby Blue Rhino locations for your refill needs. There’s nothing worse than getting all the ingredients ready for a good cookout only to discover that you’re about to run out of propane. BBQ TankMeter can help you avoid this potential disaster. This propane gas gauge, which is designed to work with a standard 20-pound tank, measures propane levels acoustically and then displays the amount in a graphical meter. The app features eight color-coded bars, and you know it’s time to refill the tank when the meter gets into the lower red zone. For iOS users, there’s a similar app—Blue Rhino's Rhino Gauge (free, iOS)—but rather than actually measuring, THE PHOTO COOKBOOK The Photo Cookbook - Barbeque Grilling is a unversal app that will help turn your barbeque into the most talked about event of the summer. The app is gorgeous, filled with pictures of 60 different recipes that are divided into four sections: "Meat," "Poultry," "Fish & Seafood," and "Vegetables and cheese." There are recipes for all types of grilling enthusiasts, including recipes for grilling over indirect heat with lids closed, as you would with a kettle grill. Ingredients needed are shown at the beginning of each recipe. Photos of each step you will take to prepare each dish are included. Think of this app as your own personal, at-home grilling lesson. This is an essential app for anyone interested in barbeque grilling. DECEMBER-JANUARY 2018 | REDPATHS.CO.NZ | 19

FEATURE BBQ Recipes something to satisfy every guest BEER CAN CHICKEN INGREDIENTS: - 1 whole chicken - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons salt - 1 teaspoon black pepper - 3 tablespoons of your favourite dry spice rub - 1 can beer (we prefer Speights) DIRECTIONS: Remove neck and giblets from chicken and discard. Rinse chicken inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Rub chicken lightly with oil then rub inside and out with salt, pepper and dry rub. Set aside. Open beer can and take several gulps. Place beer can on a solid surface. Grabbing a chicken leg in each hand, plunk the bird cavity over the beer can. Transfer the bird-on-a-can to your BBQ and place in the centre of the grate, balancing the bird on its 2 legs and the can like a tripod. Cook the chicken over medium-high, indirect heat (i.e. no coals or burners on directly under the bird), with the BBQ cover on, for approximately 1 1/4 hours until the thigh juice runs clear when stabbed with a sharp knife. Remove from BBQ and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
