Icefever

SSShhhh you'll jink us all... ?

Poor bugger he'll never live that one down... ?️ ?️ ⚡ ?. Ice.

Just had a butchers at the weather for this weekend at Billing.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2641430

Cheers...we'll see how good it is come Sat. ?

We tried sough dough once, it's ok, maybe somebody else will step into the breach.

DUDE.

YES YES YES... can't wait...does this mean we'll look like a pit crew ????

No problemo dude, I have no problems with getting stuck into washing up....I'll have to get myself a pair of super washing up rubber gloves ???

+ 1 here...as Mrs Ice loves a man in rubber gloves..

I've spent most of this morning cutting, drilling and fixing. I've taken out the crap thermo in the lid and made a cover to fit, we now have a top vent if needed. Below is my thermo grommet for the 4 probes, no need to have the cables over the top edge and under the lid. It's just a strip of alloy with a strip of silicone baking tray behind. Eash hole has a X cut to allow the probes to pass and hopefully seal around them enough to stop a lot of smoke. Last two are of the fire gaskets around the door & Lid....you can see the gap on photo 1 around the lid, the rope I have was too thick so I've used the flat type and added 2 lots to try and lessen the gap.

That's what I thought....but it's good to know about this at the start, less chance to cock it up on the day... ?

Wow thanks, guys, is there a way of working out the time getting near the stall???, from the weight of your joint & the temp you have set the BBQ/Smoker at?? I suppose it's all down to knowing how much water is in the meat....which would be nigh on impossible.

I've sent for the 4 probe one this morning....will be here tomorrow.

Yipee... I've got to get on & finish the mods on the Brinkman today. It has to be all done & ready for this Saturday at the Billing Smoker18. ?......more later on with a photo or two. Ok the Brinkman is now starting to look like it may work....fingers crossed. Photo 1....silicone grommets. Photo 2....Fire rope around the lid. Photo 3....The gasket around fire .door

Since entering this realm of BBQ'ing I'm reading articles & watching videos. Every now & then I come across "The Stall". What's it all about?...so I set off in a search along with uncle Gargle and came up with the following. After a 2nd read, I'm sure I understand it ?.. is the info correct ?? https://genuineideas.com/ArticlesIndex/stallbbq.html Ice.

"What can't speak can't lie" as the saying goes, and those photos prove it. In fact the 2nd photo, the lid thermo shows just over 120c, while the Inkbird shows 97c...big big difference there. Ice.

There sure is a lot to learn with this BBQ'ing ?

Will do....

I read a post by (I think) Wade where he did a test on water and sand and came to the conclusion there was little to choose between the two. Ice.

Are you going to form a bowl?? or make a square one??? and then the next question is why ??. Would not a large SS bowl do the same job?? Just my 2cents. Ice

Now I know what the paracetamol is for, to ease the pain on the wallet?? ?

I want a telescope...when I retire, that way I'll have time...just TELL the wife...

Brilliant...we want that on a T-shirt ?

Crap....would you have bought at that price??? Ice.

Does that mean "one can't do"?? or "one cool dude"?? ?
