Some nice bark there. How are you liking the ThermoWorks Smoke?  Ive got some shorties on as we speak although this time Im wrapping them 2 hours in with a bit of butter, brown sugar and beef stock to ensure they dont dry out as i pushing the cook for a hot and fast so there ready for dinner.

I'm heading home to use up the remnants of yesterdays Char Siu pork in a noodle soup with mini dim sims. My girls love it!

I buy my lump charcoal and natural firelighters from Bunnings.

Thanks for that. I've liked the natural firelighters for a while.

 

I did a search for lump charcoal and while Bunnings was cheaper, the cheapest was from Gaganis Bros (it's just a ways down the road to their warehouse) where red gum or mallee are under $30/18kg. I have yet to try it but it comes highly recommended on some of the BBQ sites.

 

So far the Joe is great, although it gets HOT much faster than I anticipated--370°C in less than 20 minutes. It was just right for the pizza! (When I asked the Neopolitan pizza maker how hot he got his wood oven the answer was 600°C. He threw the pizza into the oven and it was ready to go by the time he'd taken my cash.)

Just removed mine from the smoker. Finished a bit earlier than expected but that how it rolls with this style of cooking.

I can relate!

 

Last night, two pizzas on the barbie, full blast closed, only bottom heat, crunchy thin dough and nice and hot toppings without being burnt. Yum! My girls are only 6 and 8... I'll have a proper pizza factory by the time they're teenagers and invite their friends along... damn! No leftovers for today's lunch.

 

Cheers

Wheres the meat?

 

....If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding You! Yes, you behind the bike sheds, stand still laddy!

The Kamado has arrived, been assembled, and so far I've done:

a beer can chicken--quite nice,

pizza x2--great flavour but the crust needs work,

hamburgers--very nice,

and a really slow Boston Butt with Kamado Joe's special rub--best pork roast I've ever tasted!

 

Yum, I think I'm addicted.?

Some Greek love is about to happen in  the bowels of the churches grotto.

 

Marinated chicken and lamb shoulder.

 

Smelling good. Neighbours beginning to peer over the fence to see whats cooking! Really need @illusion's guidance on this new style of cook for me. Got the Saganaki  ready to grill once the meats done. 

 

Added bonus is having the instant hangover cure available by downing a souv. after a heavy session ?

I posted this in the Amazon Prime thread but I thought it would be suitable here too.

 

Amazon Prime has the Lodge charcoal grill for $130 with free Prime shipping. The grill normally costs around $300, and without Prime, it would cost $192 to ship. It's an itty bitty grill but still a good buy at that price.

I bought one of these to supplement my larger BBQ. Works for me and great value

Yes, AFAIK.

I bought mine in Adelaide city store.

 

I have had it for about 2 years now and it is great for occasions when you only need a small BBQ. Nice and portable as well and it has accompanied us on several picnics.

yep thats what we like about our hibachi. while the main bbq is gas. the hibachi is a nice change for charcoal grilling and on a smaller scale. eg 3 little steaks or some kebabs or just grilling some fish or something. 

 

we have take ours places too ! great that yours is portable as well. 

6hr brisket smoked with cherry wood. Beetroot, sweet potatoes and a slaw as sides. Brisket has a dry rub wirh maple syrup.
Perfect way to start RDOs.

Looks real good.How were they? Personally I find chicken breast with a dry rub is on the razors edge of becoming too dry so usually mop it with sauce so really keen to hear your thoughts on how this went.

All 3 were cooked to 74°C at 230°C.

 

The tandoori was a bit dry--no sugar or oil to either form a crust or prevent evaporation--although the flavour was excellent. I haven't got to the larger bit of it yet, but I'll try adding some oil and cornflour to the next one.

 

The other two were tender, juicy and more-ish.
