Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary with smoking woods. Why not change up your barbecue menu by experimenting with delicious wood-fire smoke flavour?
From the outset, we knew that our rubs and seasonings needed to be made with quality, all-natural ingredients, without preservatives or fillers. When I created the recipes in our test kitchen, this was simple for us to achieve… but when it came time to upscaling to a commercial manufacturer, we quickly found that the quality of dry ingredients varied a lot!
When we set out to craft our own range of seasonings and rubs, our brief was clear. Create a range of convenient, complimentary flavour profiles that elevate your meals, but that don’t overpower the natural flavours food, or that unmistakable Weber flavour that’s produced with lid-down barbecue cooking.
Cooking the families Christmas ham has quickly become a tradition and a responsibility of mine in the days leading up to Christmas. It’s one of my most rewarding cooks of the year. It’s a loving process tending to a huge roast; scoring, preparing, smoking, decorating and glazing it. It’s a joy seeing everyone tuck in on Christmas Day, and there’s the happiness of guilt free ham eating every day for the days or weeks following Christmas.
We welcome all sorts of guests at the Weber Grill Academy – from barbecue novices to barbecue nuts – so we think we’re qualified to offer some Christmas gifting tips!
It’s known that the rubs and seasonings market is already crowded with crazy names, funky designs and bold colours- maybe it is all to compensate for what’s in the bottle? Well, we stripped it back and kept it simple, because its what’s on the inside that counts ;).
While some choccies, a hamper of nuts or a bottle of sparkling wine are always happily received, they are seldom remembered by the time we’re back at our desks in January. If you’re looking for something out-of-the-ordinary and memorable, consider giving the gift of food, fun and fire, with a gift voucher for a barbecue experience at Adelaide’s own Weber Grill Academy.
Trying to cater for 10+ guests can be trying, and if you’re wanting to serve steak, it’s almost impossible to please a everyone… or is it? Our resident Grill Expert, Jacinda, shares her tips for cooking steak for a crowd – something she’s had plenty of experience with!
Skewers are a great way to cater for a party or gathering. They’re versatile, cost effective, can be prepared in advance, they look great, are easy to serve (no carving!) and, most importantly, taste delicious.
It’d be a pretty tough ask to find an Australian backyard that hasn’t seen a ball bowled, wheelie bin stump rolled into place, automatic wickey chosen, or a six and out called as a well-worn cricket ball disappears over the neighbour’s fence. Cricket is deeply rooted in Australian history, a cornerstone of our culture, which makes it no surprise it’s also a part of Weber’s history in Australia too.”

Oysters will always separate a group of people; love them, can only eat them cooked with bacon and barbecue sauce, or can’t stand them at all? Well, we love oysters, and upon returning from a recent trip to Narooma New South Wales, we learnt lots about them. So, no matter where you are on your oyster journey, there is so much to discover!
The goal of many barbecuer, novice to master alike, is to achieve those perfect sear marks and evenly cooked and flavoursome ….VEGETABLES! That’s right Weber family – we’ve said it – sear marks aren’t exclusive to steaks and chops, and roasting isn’t exclusive to chicken, pork or lamb! But what does this all mean
We’ve all been there, had an important meal planned, or the family and friends around, only to plate up an underwhelming serve of meat. Fortunately, technology is on our side and there are an amazing range of Weber thermometers!

Since Weber first started making Kettle barbecues, there have been many iterations, and just as many unique colours to choose from over the decades. Some have stayed and become backyard favourites, some have come and gone, and some were only available for a very limited time.

We would argue barbecue food is one of the best on earth, and let’s be real, it’s pretty amazing the next day too! To make sure it’s just as good the very next day, or a couple of days later, it’s important to ensure it’s packaged away and stored correctly.
At Weber we celebrate the importance of spending time with your family. We are strong believers that barbecuing is a great way to bring your loved ones together. The memories created around the barbecue or dinner table is something that is invaluable.
