RE cast iron and no rust: huh???

Due to the high carbon content of cast irons +/- 2.5%, Cast Iron will superfically oxidise, the oxidation layer formed protects the surface from further attack, therefore if a "cast iron" BBQ rusts through in 2 years, it aint cast iron... :) ...Cast iron is a completely different beast from mallable type irons....

Granted cast irons may eventually corrode through, but typically takes 40-50 years as a rule of thumb, as good example cast iron water pipes and sewer pipes have been dug up after 40-50 years and they are just as good as the day they where installed...

Trust this answers your question...

I trust you have never owned a cast iron BBQ. Cheers.

Thanks for the link - I never heard of this before - maybe check it out some time. (must be new within the last year though?) BUT - at triple the US price, I guess I'll be happy with my 40K baht China made grill (that is pretty good - but not a Weber).

Cheers

I have been here (Pattaya) since late 2006, True Value had them then.

I agree though, dam_n pricey, hence i have not bought one.

A good gas BBQ grill must be stainless steel grill (or titanium, etc.) and they cost at least 40K baht in Thailand. The cast iron ones will rust out in less than 2 years. Look at Weber (not sold in Thailand) for the best quality and try to get something like that.

Bank,

I have ordered from here, http://www.gasbbqthailand.com/page/bbq.html

Stainless and the boss is American, and apparantly a bit of a perfectionist.

I bought mine from Doc, great BBQ good service and real nice guy. :)

Obviously either have you....as stated previously a real cast iron BBQ will not corrode through in two years under normal use...if you care to debate the metallurgical side of my arguement, I am game...

Look, this topic is about BBQ gas grills - not metallurgy (which I could debate but don't care to). Cast iron is a great cooking medium but it DOES rust and eventually (yes, within a few years) corrodes to almost nothing unless you go through what I consider pain in the ass measures to treat every time you cook. Anyway... I was just trying to offer my exerperience with gas grills and this will end my comments. Cheers.

Got an address Doc? I might drop in and have a look next visa run.

Hi Krading, thanks for posting.

Sure do have an address, sorry for the delay in responding, super busy and haven't checked this thread in a few days.

We do not have a retail store as we're primary a web based biz, this keeps end costs down, which is good for all.

We bring stock, when available, to our home from factory for display and sale.

Many fellas and their families have dropped by to view and purchase. Some have actually flown in, all are treated as old friends.

If you'd care to have a directions map of our home sent you, please go to our website, www.gasbbqthailand.com

Go to, Contact Page, and drop a line. I'll respond promptly with a map for you.

Thanks again,

My best,

Doc

Here is an action shot of one of Doc's gas barbecues. We used it at the Loy Krathong festival last night. It cooked for over 6 hours straight on full blast without blinking. We sold almost 8,000 baht of sausage and bbq sticks, thanks Doc. Now if only you could make it self cleaning..

I just let other people do the cooking. I wander around with my sniffer working over time and when I smell barbequed piglet I just invite myself in for a meal. Works every time... but I DO get some strange looks once in a while... :):D:D

Sorry guys...When people start taking about gas BBQ's I start looking for the door, call me a tradtionalist if you will, but real wood is the ony way to go with a BBQ or at a real push decent charcoal..

Gas BBQ's....why bother...??

I'm with you on this one, Soutpeel. Nothing like a "dooringbos" braai, with a couple of Black Labels and some boerewors and pap. The "Traditional" way to BBQ.

Just come back from good ol' "Seff Effrika", and had way too many Black Labels. Wors is available in Bangkok? And whereabouts would that be?

That BBQ pig in post 43 - looks like the uncooked parts of meat will be causing problems when eaten.

That's why I don't eat pigs feet or tails. Funny how that one is straight.

A piece of plate iron on four beer cans with a couple of shovels of coals underneath.

(thats not me in the pic :) )

And for a cup of coffee/tea afterwards you boil a billy.

I also have the SS Delux from Doc. Excellent machine, and a work of art too.

I used it last Xmas to roast my Turkey and trimmings, and will do the same again this year.

You can't go wrong with one of these.

Cheers,

Mike

P.S. Mine is self-cleaning - or seems to be. I use it in the evening, the next morning it is already clean :)

My inlaws cook on traditional Isaan charcoal barbecue all the time.

Until their traditional farang son-in-law visits and buys a new gas bottle :)

      5 Arrested in Suspected Terror Plot as Counter-Terrorism Officers Raid Multiple UK Locations

      Five Arrested in Suspected Terror Plot as Counter-Terrorism Officers Raid Multiple UK Locations Five men have been taken into custody on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act, in a case that is now under intense investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command. Four of the individuals arrested are Iranian nationals. The arrests, which took place on Saturday, are part of what police have described as a fast-moving and ongoing operation related to a suspected plot targeting a specific location in the UK. Authorities have confirmed that the men are being held in custody while officers continue their enquiries. In a statement released shortly after midnight, police indicated that they had contacted the site potentially targeted in the alleged plot. “Officers have been in contact with the affected site to make them aware and provide relevant advice and support, but for operational reasons, we are not able to provide further information at this time,” the force said. Search operations connected to the case are now underway across several locations, including Greater Manchester, London, and Swindon. The police have released information about the men arrested: a 29-year-old man in the Swindon area, a 46-year-old man in west London, a 29-year-old man in Stockport, a 40-year-old man in Rochdale, and another man, whose age has not been confirmed, in Manchester. Commander Dominic Murphy, who leads the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command, emphasized the seriousness and complexity of the case. “This is a fast-moving investigation and we are working closely with those at the affected site to keep them updated,” he said. “The investigation is still in its early stages and we are exploring various lines of enquiry to establish any potential motivation as well as to identify whether there may be any further risk to the public linked to this matter.” He also acknowledged the concern such events can provoke within the public and urged vigilance. “We understand the public may be concerned and, as always, I would ask them to remain vigilant and if they see or hear anything that concerns them, then to contact us,” Murphy stated. The Commander expressed gratitude for the cooperation of local officers and police forces nationwide, adding, “We are working closely with local officers in the areas where we have made arrests today and I'd like to thank police colleagues around the country for their ongoing support.” This is a developing story, and authorities have indicated that further details will be released as the investigation progresses.

      All These Hairy Men.

      Indeed. The fad comes around every so often and was a thing again recently where every other dude had a ridiculous bunch of fur on their chin. Some women also got in on it apparently. It suits some chaps, like tattoos do, but most just look donkeyfied and unkempt, and yes MUCH older. Would urge one to question that ego first before sending another crazy mass of hair into the world. Whatever, do what you wanna do; just don’t tell me you look cool or that your woman enjoys kissing a grizzly. 🙂

      Elections Australia

      It is always enlightening to read informed commentaries. If anyone had been following Australian political opinion polls over the last year or so, this was the election that the Liberal-National coalition could not lose. But then, the great American people elected Trump last November - still no real change in the Australian political opinion polls. Then shortly after Trump became President, and he produced his flood of Executive Orders, Australian public opinion moved a little. Trump's flood of deportation orders and his tariff orders changed the Australian political mode significantly - especially as the USA has a trade SURPLUS with Australia, and applied tariffs on Australian exports to the USA! Dutton, in his great wisdom, moved further to the far right and started to sound more like a Trump Fascist Neo-Nazi groupie (which ever former Liberal Prime Minister Howard commented on with horror). The election result showed that Australian voters are more thinking and reflective that those of the big country across the Pacific, where the masses followed the promises and pronouncements of the snake oil salesman.
