2018 National Smokers & BBQ Weekend Menu Ideas
Icefever replied to Smokin Monkey's topic in Smoking and BBQ Weekend
We are now thinking of Smocking Monkeys recipe for the Lamb, in place of the fattie... along with a gammon. -
It works this end....don't understand...they are on Postimage so should work???
-
After reading up on all the mods that you can do to these smokers, I decided to carry out a couple this afternoon. First off was a fire basket to try and gain some sort of control over the coals. The 2nd one which seems to be one of the most urgent ones is an air vent to help control the temp.
-
It all looks so good, what have we been missing all these years....we've done bbq's for years but like a lot of folks a bbq meant cooking chicken burgers & bangers. Now here we are building fatties and all sort of dishes....let the good time roll. ?
-
I've noticed this...I forget what news site it was the other day, they said about the adverts making them money and would I disable the blocker.....I clicked no and the site would not let me go any where other than the first page. I closed the site and looked else where...as you say their loss not mine..

Great...if I eat peppers I'd have my head down the ivory telephone. ? Ice.
-
That's one to try....but would have to change the peppers...I can't eat them. Maybe onion or leeks perhaps???. Ice.

I've got you booked in to an anger management tomorrow at 1100. ? ?

Cheers everyone..its strange on Sunday as the meat thermometer said 73c in the middle...just for us to find it not finished. We've been talking it through and we think what we'll do at billing will be smoke for up to 2/3 hours then wrap in foil until it hits 74c... Ice.
-
Ditto.. ?
-
+1 with both of you....I run an ad blocker within Firefox, this does stop a large amount of them. My main niggle is on Youtube when you click on a video, you get the ad start, they tell you that you can skip in 5 secs...WHY???. Why put the ad on? then give folks the ability to cut it off?? Madness has gone mad . ?
-
We did a gammon on Sunday, we did it from raw, not knowing if this was correct??. When Mrs Ice checked it, it still needed some time to finish, so it was popped in the kitchen oven to finish it off. but we would feel better if it had been done in the smoker. Should we have pre-cooked or cooked the joint then followed up by putting it in the smoker for a couple of hours?? Ice

Potential salami curing cabinet...

Now you've got me going...I have an old bottle chiller in the shed that's not been used for years. Not sure what the solid top has inside, I think the main works are similar to a fridge.... so it maybe possible to put vents into it....cold smoking could be on the books. Ice -
@Wade. The Brinkman we have has one of those stupid temp gauge...it goes..warm-ideal-hot. ? We did pop in an oven gauge on the top rack along side the bomb....had a peep when the stupid one was half way between warm-ideal, and the other one was reading 122c...so we were some 50c too low.?? The bomb turned out great..never had anything like it. The gammon thou was not so good. Mrs Ice finished him in the oven for 30mins...just hope he's not too dry. I'm looking for a thermometer to replace the stupid one. Ice
-
Looks like a great bit of kit....but I've spent all my pocket money for the next few months. ? Would like to see one in action.
-
We still have a lot to learn mate.....we didn't get the "hard" crust on the bomb that we see on other ones. Looking forward to the 21th, we have a lot to learn. Ice

I'm glad your next to us Justin.....I'll get the kettle on.. Ice -
Tears of joy SM.....the fattie was superb, bacon weave, sausage, chicken hammered to a thin sheet, ending in a mix of Mrs Ice stuffing. Served with a salad, and a glass or two of wine... . The gammon is still cooking. Ice.
-
Ok, Fattie went in a 12.30....along with a gammon on the bottom shelf. We're sat here now with a bottle of Capt Morgan...... just a picking & a grinning ... Ice. .
-
Today we have a go at making a fattie, Mrs Ice is going to put it together, as I have to pop into town for an appointment at 11am. I should be back by noon and then we can finish off the prep and shove it in the Brinkman. ? Ice.

Mrs Ice will be bringing 3 of these tom & onion loaves along, she will post the recipe later.. Also she will make good old fashion bread pudding. Ice. -
We'll be there around the same time, won't take long to throw our tent up.....so if another pair of hands are required on setting up just shout. we don't want to get in the way thou. As we're new to all this, how does Sat play out?. Is there a sort of timeline?? I think I see mention of a fridge trailer? is that for all the meats the folks are going to bring? We have a small 12v fridge when camping but nowhere big enough for what we want to bring along.. ?
