Chris Roberts, the chef nicknamed 'the flamebaster', spoke to 5 Live Weekend Breakfast and shared his top tips for the perfect barbeque.

The Welsh chef said 鈥渂arbecue isn鈥檛 the stereotypical macho, massive steak spit fire鈥� and that it鈥檚 鈥渕ore love, attention to detail, care, delicate.鈥�

Chris recommends grilling meats 鈥渓ow and slow鈥� 鈥� at lower temperatures and for longer.

He said the number one mistake he sees people make with barbecues is that they fill them up with too much charcoal causing an 鈥渋nferno鈥�.

Instead, he suggests only filling half of your barbecue with coal so if the flames flare up you can move whatever you鈥檙e cooking from the direct zone over the flame to the indirect zone where鈥檚 there no charcoal.

Chris says it鈥檚 important to use good wood, for example lumpwood, to get the best out of your barbecue. For smoking food, he recommends briquettes. He made a brisket recently which he smoked 鈥渓ow and slow鈥� for 18 hours overnight.

鈥淚t鈥檚 giving love and care to the produce you use and showcasing that by a lick of smoke, a kiss of fire, you can鈥檛 beat it.鈥�
