The Complete Australian Barbecue Kettle Cookbook is Weber Australia's own hardback recipe book for the kettle barbecue, by Ross McDonald and Margaret Kirkwood, with over 400 recipes and about 200 colour photographs. It's the book that taught a lot of Australian families what a kettle can do beyond snags.
The kettle book, straight from Weber
If there's a red kettle on your deck, this is its instruction manual and its recipe file in one. It's Weber's own Australian cookbook, written for local cooks and local ingredients, and it has been a fixture in Aussie kitchens and sheds for years. Few books give you this many recipes for one cooker.
What's inside
Across 224 hardback pages you get more than 400 recipes and around 200 colour photographs, all built around cooking in a covered kettle. Weber pairs the recipes with practical cooking tips, so it doubles as a how-to for getting the most out of the cooker.
It's a broad, family-friendly collection, the kind of book you open on a Sunday when the roast is going on the kettle and you want something new to cook next to it. The sheer volume means there's always another page to try.
Who it's for
Anyone who owns a Weber kettle, especially new owners still working out what to cook beyond sausages. It's also a dead-set winner as a gift for a dad, a mate or a newlywed with a fresh kettle.
About the authors
The book is credited on its cover to Ross McDonald and Margaret Kirkwood and is published by Weber, the company behind the original kettle barbecue, for the Australian market. It is still sold through Weber Australia as its kettle cookbook (part number 240-10).
The Rub Smuggler's Verdict
🏴☠️ Darryl's Secret: Lid-Down Garlic Bread
The roast is resting anyway. Put the kettle back to work.
You'll need: 1 baguette, 100 g soft butter, 3 garlic cloves (crushed), a handful of chopped parsley, pinch of salt, foil
Do this:
- Mash the butter with garlic, parsley and salt.
- Slice the baguette almost through, spread butter between the slices and wrap in foil.
- Cook on the indirect side with the lid on for about 15 minutes, then open the foil for 3 minutes to crisp.
Why it works: The kettle's indirect heat melts the butter through the loaf while the last minutes open give you a crunchy crust.
