Cooking a roast on a small bbq July 30, 2010, 01:04:50 pm Yahoo Message Number: 114899For a 4 lb roast....how long might it take to cook on a small propane bbq? I hate cooking inside when it's hot...and I usually cook them in the crock pot in the winter.Thanks! Helen[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Cook on indirect heat if possible, or on as low as possible if direct. I love both pork and beef roasts cooked on our baby Q on as low as possible.Rich - 2000 MB - Birch Bay, WA

Re: Cooking a roast on a small bbq Reply #3 – July 30, 2010, 01:55:31 pm Yahoo Message Number: 114904Have you thought about putting it in a small dutch oven and placing that on the gas grill? You can pop the heat off and on and the cast iron will retain the heat so that you don't use up all of your gas. Also, the length of time to cook will depend upon how the roast is shaped. If it is very round, it will take longer. If it is flat like a chuck roast, it will take less time.There's about a billion recipes for dutch oven cooking.good luck__

But, experimentation can be a good thing; I'll be interested to hear how this comes out!Joan
