    Cheers Steve, good to hear that what I was thinking would be fine actually is, will make it much easier when it comes to having some sort of bbq gathering when I eventually get my house in a state where I could possibly invite people round...lol,far too much diy to to do first! Hi Wade, I did indeed buy one, on the spur of the moment I picked up one of the Aldi ones, only tested it on some eggs thus far but was very impressed with perfect whites and yolks! It will prove a very useful bit of kit when I get my life vaguely more sorted out than it is at present.

    Just a quick question, when I'm producing pulled pork or lamb for a gathering I tend to smoke it in advance and then vacuum pack and freeze it to make my life easier so on the day it's needed I can just make sure I've thawed it in advance and then reheat in a pan of water. I was thinking, would it be ok to reheat it in a water bath using a sous vide wand with the temperature set to just below where I originally cooked the meat to so it doesn't cook it any further? I was thinking this way I could get it up to temperature a bit ahead of time and hold it there until I was ready to serve everything else up?

    Cold Smoke Trout

    valve90210 replied to Marcus's topic in Fish

    Never having done any cold smoking of fish, nor having looked it up, am I right in thinking that what 's being said is that the fish should be frozen (for the lengths of time mentioned above) before defrosting, curing, cold smoking and then consuming?

    Great ideas here Wade, might well give this a whirl in the coming weeks, I want to get a big batch of cheese smoked for gifts for Christmas, and will need to give it time to mellow before then.

    I'm going to have to give this a whirl at some point, I'm loving the whole idea of it and am a huge fan of rice and that looks particularly spendid! No wraps for me though sadly - gluten free ones are too many calories and not nice enough to justify eating them!

    You saying that has made me think, if I close down the air inlet vents a bit would that reduce the airflow and increase how long the tube lasts?
  7. valve90210
    On a related noted, and hopefully not too much a thread hijack, how does one slow down the burning when cold smoking? I've been using a 30cm piece of stainless perforated tube (thanks for the tip Wade) which works nicely but it seems to burn down very quickly and only lasts about 3 1/2 hours.

    Excellent, they're great for customer service!

    Cheers for the heads up, I shall have to see if they have any at my local ASDA, I fancy giving Salmon Candy a try...

    I seem to have accidentally ordered one of these wands yesterday...oops

    It probably would be but we don't all have stocks of homemade chipotle I wonder if a carefully crafted scotch bonnet paste would be good...
  12. valve90210
    That's smashing, thanks for that! I shall go on a mission to find some soon, I really fancy giving this recipe a whirl (though I will have to smoke some more meat to go with it...what a shame )
  13. valve90210
    This sounds like a great recipe, I'll definitely be giving it a try!! Any chance you might be able to put up a pic of the chipotle paste from sainsburys so I know what to look for?

    I'd just drop Callow an email, the guy there that runs it (Scott) is a really good guy and Im sure he'd be happy to sort you out an extra grills. I had an issue with my rib hanger - one of the small right angle pieces that keep the folding sides located came off - I emailed about possibility of repairing it and he just sent out a new one along with two new grills, I received them about 3 days after I'd emailed, really good customer service!!
  15. valve90210
    Damn it....I'll have to add one to my collection!
  16. valve90210
    That is a really good crop!! I must make more of an effort next year to get a few plants on the go.
  17. valve90210
    I ordered from BBQ world last week, now got 32kg of heatbeads sitting there wait for some meat to smoke!!
  18. valve90210
    No, thank you for making such amazing cheese!! I shall be saving it for a massive cheese fest at Christmas (if I can resist that long!) https://www.wowbbq.co.uk or http://www.bbqworld.co.uk Those are the two I have looked at and purchased from, needs a little working out to see which is best depending on whether you are buying enough to get the free postage from BBQWorld

    Hi Richie, Would you be the chap selling the cheese which took a good chunk of my money when I came along on Saturday? Welcome to the forum im sure you'll enjoy reading up on smoking etc but I must warn you to be on your guard this is an addictive hobby, I started the year with 2 bbqs and now have 6!

    kebab

    valve90210 replied to James Wales's topic in Poultry

    Pics look amazing and the flavour combos really appeal to me, Can't wait to get my rotisserie up and running to do something like this!!
  21. valve90210
    James certainly does seem like a lucky chap, what with this and the Callow at the smoking weekend!!

    It was a great day out, my little man had a brilliant time, archery, bouncy pirate ship, touching reptiles, playing on the playground, tasting loads of foods, even eating some apple (much to my amazement!) My parents and I also really enjoyed it, such a lovely event and loads to do and see and eat, spent way too much money on fudge and cheese, and of course meat and wood chips! Itt was good to catch up with Wade and to watch a very good demonstration on how to make a Fatty/Sausage Bomb!! My parents were totally won over by that and my mum, who doens't normally like burgery things, said we'd definitely have to make one when we have a family bbq next year as she thought it was delicious!!
  23. valve90210
    Quite probably but he'll have to bring his own money, mine will be reserved for meat and alcohol (and wood chips for cooking meat! lol That said, he does love meat! And he's becoming quite a good helper when I've got a cook going in the smokers, checking the temperatures for me, doing the spraying with apple juice and best of all he really enjoys pulling pork and lamb! I break it down to lumps and get rid of fat and bone then he pulls the rest, probably halves the time it takes, it's great!! He has also learned about "chef's privilege" and says it while giving me a wink as he's about to eat a nice outer piece that could be pulled and added to the rest of the meat!
  24. valve90210
    I'll be there tomorrow with my parents and little man, will be bringing money for wood pellets and bacon!!

    Sounds very much like my garden when I moved in about 4 years ago, 2 empty raised beds and no plants to be seen. I'm slowly but surely developing mine into some where nice to entertain...just need to find some people to invite round... I've very much enjoyed the cooking for peoples birthdays etc that I've done over the summer as you say it's nice to cook some big joints of meat, whereas often I'm just cooking for myself or maybe me and my son.
