Hi Frank, welcome to the Forum, and the East Midlands Group.

Where about in the East Midlands are you?

I agree Brian, the next week will be critical 

That is certainly acceptable! If you ask @Mick, be brings the biggest Dog you have ever seen to our Tailgates!

I am counting 11 people, that is good number sure more can come if they want but it is viable (consider what we bbq related to how many people of course), looking forward to seeing you all again and meeting some new faces, it has been too long.

 

I happy to do no fish paella again (like I did at the last Northern one) on the Friday night if you want. 

It certainly has been a long time Justin! Will be great to get together and have a chat over a Beer 🍺

Matt & Ryan might possibly do a live Pod Cast for The BBQ Talk Show on the Friday night!

OK guys, are we going with this?

Got three people who want to attend.

@Ryan   Runs YouTube Channel, and The BBQ Talks Show

Hi Sam, I will find them out for you.

Tom @Bbq life uk is your man for Aldi Kamado and much more!

Just had to share this video from a good friend of mine from South Africa. Just watch it to see how he cures Pork Belly for Pancetta!

Least expensive cut of meat, I would go Spatchcock Chicken or Chicken Quarters.

You will be eager to try it out, and eager to taste the food, this way it’s cheap and a relatively quick cook. 

Take your time in getting to know the temperature controls.

Hi Tommy, welcome to the Forum!

Welcome to the Forum soidogz! Always love a good build!

Welcome JimBob 👋

So, a little bit of light at the end of the Tunnel!

As it stands at the moment, gatherings outdoors can be attended by up to 30 people, so

who’s up for the  1st Midland Tailgate?

So today is the “Big Announcement” from Boris!

From the leaks in the press, it could be a very slow release to normal life!

I would certainly be up for some type of “Informal” gathering!

I did have an Email back in January from The National Watersports Centre @ Nottingham, they still rolling over last years booking for me.

Jill has gone on a Diet, so “Apparently” I have to go on a Diet as well!

That’s correct @Wade only took it to 67’C they blow torch out side to give a bit of char!

Hi Viva, welcome to the Forum, where abouts in Derbyshire are you?

Hi Scotty, welcome to the Forum.

unless they are huge chunks, I would leave them as they are.

Hi Wade

I had 2 x 1kg pork belly and used 27.5g salt, 2.5g Prague powder #1, some black pepper, 20g brown sugar on each - and 2tbsp treacle on one, 2tbsp maple syrup on the other. 
Thanks for taking a look! Like I said, I’m a total rookie with cold smoking and just want to check
Chae

Is that the total mix for all the pork (2kg) or per kilo?

Hi Chae, once again welcome to the Forum.

If it’s been between 1’C and 7’C you will be OK.

Thanks @sotv 👍

@sotv any input from a Pellet Smoker user?
