This weekend is for us!!!!

After 2 consecutive weekends with parties for 8 friends,  we feel that this coming weekend is going to be just for us.  I'm going to get into smoking some cheese,  we now have all we need to start re-making sausages. Hopefully, the weather looks like it will hold out,  finger crossed, as I am trying to erect the new shed that the Brinkman is going to take pride of place. We have a pork shoulder ready for the sausage making,  another belly for the curing,  this is going to be a wonderfu

First Steps.

Like a lot of folks we've been having BBQ's forever,  and I mean years.  Like lots of folks, our BBQ's have been burgers, sausages, chicken wings etc.  A few years earlier while staying with friends in France we learnt to do a "beer can chicken",  this opened our eyes,  they also did hot & cold smoking,  we got to talking and thought maybe we can do the same. In 2016 we went out and ordered a Brinkman Smoker,   because of health problems we didn't get to use it.  That all changed a
