G'day All,
As a prezzie for the new addition in the family I bought a 57cm Weber of the good old Ebay. Tested it out last night and the meat was sensational. But the Veges were burnt on the bottom. I had the veges in foil containers next to the meat and over the heat beads. How do I
cook them with out burning the bottom of them? I've haerd that you put some water in the container but how does that work.
Do I need to reposition the placement of the veges away from the beads?
Also how do you get the veges to get a nice crispy crust without being charcoal.
I have read through a heap of past threads and could not find what I was looking for, Have even tried the Weber web site for little return.
Thanks for any comments
Cheers Kev.
PS reference my previous thread both baby and mum came
home Friday Arvo 48 hours after the birth and we went out to Wests Leagues clubs for dinner. Talk about a quick recovery.

Kev,
It has been a long while since I have used ours, but there are two methods of cooking in a Weber. The Direct and the Indirect methods.
To
cook a roast etc., use the Indirect method where the heat beads are contained on two opposite sides of the bowl.
Place the meat in the middle of the grill section and distribute the veggies at each "end" so that they are not directly over the heat source.
The vegetables do not need as long to
cook in the Weber, so the meat can be put in on its own for the first half hour or so and the veggies added after. Also turning both the vegetables and the meat will help stop burning. From memory about 22 heat beads on each side (for a 20 inch bowl) is recommended.
Just a little experimenting is all you need mate and the family will grant you "Tong Master" status.
Good cooking.

Hey Sand Man,
Thats what I was thinkin, a bit more experimenting and all should work out.
I just thought that a few suggestions from this knowledgable
forum should help point me in the right direction.
Cheers Kev
