  Prepare the barbecue for cooking using direct medium heat (210°C-240°C).
  Prepare your barbecue for cooking using direct medium heat. If you are using a Weber SmokeFire™, set the temperature to 250°C and preheat.
• In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Rub the cubed butter into the flour mixture. Gradually add the milk, mixing until the dough just comes together, you may not need all the milk (varies depending on the brand of flour). Divide the dough into four portions and roll each portion out into thin strips.
• To prepare the skewers. Scrunch a large sheet of foil into a long snake. Starting at the end of the skewer, tightly trap the foil around the skewer, like a corkscrew. This will make it easy to remove the damper in one piece after it has cooked. Wrap each portion of dough onto each skewer.
• Once the barbecue has preheated, brush the cooking grills clean with a wire brush. Using a basting brush, brush the dough with melted butter. Grill the damper sticks over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, for 6-8 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, or until golden all over. If desired, keep brushing with butter while the damper is cooking.
