BBQ Ireland Irish Tradition

The whole idea of barbeques is not as you might think an American idea...
but actually originated in Ireland where the family would go out to the bog for the day to cut turf (peat), and break during the day to cook a meal in the bog using the peat they cut earlier. 

The Irish, when they emigrated to America carried this tradition with them, if cooking outdoor meals for the family, to remind them of home. 


How to BBQ or Smoke Meat with Peat Chips

History of Barbecue Irish BBQ Gifts Gourmet Unique From Ireland Ideal For Holidays

To Cook your Meat with Magical Peat for open barbequing... USE MAGICAL PEAT CHIPS with charcoal.

Put enough charcoal in the bottom of grill to get a good hot glow, a single layer is all that is needed, all depending on cooking time. 

After coals are red hot, place 1-3 Magical peat chips on top. 

To get full peat flavor effect it is best to cook with the lid closed. 

Chips should be burning in 15-20 minutes, add more as needed.

To Smoke your Meat with with Magical Peat do the same as above but soak a good amount of chips in water for 4-5 hours before preparing your charcoal. A Weber type kettle cooker is recommended. 

Now enjoy your Meat with Magical Peat!

NOTE:
Magical Peat can be used in Gas grills for smoking by simply laying on the moon rocks or wrap in foil and punch small holes in it. 

NOTE:
All the BBQ chips are meant to be used with natural charcoal. 

TURF/PEAT is an excellent fuel for air tight stoves and is classified as a smokeless fuel, try the traditional Smoke - soon to package for the stove trade.

Pork Peat Smoked Fat Back Ribs  

Not to be mistaken for spare ribs.. 

It's what they cut and make the streaky bacon, not found in most butchers.. 
(I get them from Glen Side Bacon in Glenties, ask for Raymond). 1st STEP is to par boil them huge ribs for approx 20 minutes, then drain off the water and let cool.In the meantime get the cooker and fire ready. Should be kettle type cooker like weber. 

Start your fire with all natural charcoal. Once the coals are orange in color place the MAGICAL PEAT CHIPS on top; 3 are recommended. 

Also place a tin of water(like an empty tuna can) in the bottom of the grill. 

Keep your fire to one side of the cooker.. 

Place lid over and give it 10 minutes. 

NOW YOUR PEAT IS SMOKING, place your ribs off to the side of fire, never on the direct fire. Open the vent about 1/10th of the way. 
Let them go aprox 1 hour. 

Turn them over keeping well off the fire. In another half hour you can take lid off and then with long tongs place over the direct fire they will start to flare up from the fat ( DO NOT REMOVE THE FAT ) 

Now you are busy turning them every 1-3 minutes depending on your fire. 

10 Minutes before removing to eat begin basting with a good thick sauce can be bought in most markets, just make sure its  GOOD AND THICK. 

If the surface of your grill is big enough place your foil wrapped spud with olive oil and a sliver of onion on the grill along with your foil wrapped veggies. 

Always use OLIVE OIL IN THE FOIL. If there is no room do them before hand on the grill and then place in warming oven. 

Always remember a BBQ IS A FUN TIME AND LIKE THEYSAY HERE IN IRELAND "IT TAKES TIME",

BON APPETITE !

PS. Be on the look out for our Irish Whiskey flavored BBQ Gooo for basting or can be used as a dip.
