Indirect cooking

A huge advantage of the Barramundi BBQ over other wood fire barbecues is that it enables you great flexibility to move and manipulate the fire to serve your cooking needs.

The thick steel cook plates compliment this by soaking up the heat of the flames and giving you unparalleled control over the barbecue considering we are working with raw wood fire.
Here is a pic of an example of this concept.

Here you can see that the fire has been moved under the grill plate to cook the chicken wings, while the  onions are cooking on the cooler solid cook plate which is receiving indirect heat from the flames.

Note the small size of the overall fire. We can quickly regulated this with the the Barramundi BBQ tools, and by adding just small dry pieces of wood to the fire. A blow tube is also a useful tool to spur the flames along.
