  2. Sophie Tuckers bossoms on the
  3. away where the flying fishes
  4. Ah, come on thats way more than three words?
  5. Hells bells and buckets of blood. Never saw either of them coming?
  6. I remember there was a song called ' How To Handle A Women' sung by Richard Harris in a film called 'Camelot' Does anybody remember it? Well I do and not once, anywhere in the lyrics of that song did it explain how to get a woman interested in BBQ'ing! Oh it waffled on about getting her to love you and how you should love her in return, how to treat her and a whole bunch of other such gooey stuff but did it mention anything about roast meats? Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't we pretty big in the roast meats department during the period the film covers! I mean pretty much all meat was BBQ'ed up until the late 1700s and early 1800s. The French called the British 'roast boeuf's' and still do to this very day and yet the song writers ignored the subject entirely and missed a chance to open a path of enlightenment for all those ladies out there that are, at best, indifferent to the delights of the BBQ!! Very few, if any films, cover the subject of BBQing! Go on, name one? I think it could be a conspiracy! Did you ever see Steve McQueen attending a BBQ? The only time I can think of when a scene in a film comes close is when all those cowboys are sitting around the campfire eating beans and suffering bouts of wind! The media yet again poking fun at BBQs! Of course we all know that ladies do not find breaking wind in the least bit funny! Yet more evidence of a plot against the last bastion of man cave cooking. I'm not bitter, just saying.?
  7. It would have to depend on the blend of the tea leaves I would have thought! So an Assam would be a fairly strong smoke and a Gunpowder would be quite heavy/strong. The smoking process, I've not done masses of this type of thing so anything I say here could be way off of the facts but the basics should remain, strong flavoured/smelling tea and longer smoking times results in a heavier smoked product at the end. Not much help but its as much as I have in my armoury of tea smoking.? Large leaf tea's work far better than fine tea leaves and that covers my entire knowledge other than that Tea smoked Pork is very tasty.?
  8. For sure, I've been reviewing products for a number of years now and this is the first time I've ever been given anything! I review because, like you, if the product or service is good or bad then any potential buyers should be aware of the ups as well as the downs. In this case I have already given the review and posted it on a couple of well known sites and I still feel I was just unlucky on this occasion with that particular item. However, its a very nice set of cast iron skillets?
  9. I'm not going to name the company because I genuinely feel that the problem was a one off occurrence and I was just unlucky! Suffice it to say I bought a Wi-Fi temperature system, from a well known supplier, having awaited its delivery with some barely controlled enthusiasm I was eager to use this bit of techno wizardry and prove my mastery of my cooking abilities, trust me I need all the help I can get. Anyway it didn't work is the crux of the matter! I tried everything to get this bit of kit to operate as it should but it was having none of it☹️ I packed it all up and returned it from whence it came, thank you Amazon for free returns. I did do a review of the item, very fair and unbiased, on Amazon, laying out the issues and low and behold I received firstly a reply from the maker and lately the seller apologising for any inconvenience caused. Since that reply I have been receiving free gifts from the seller! Only small items, a zester, a pair of pulled pork claws, and today a cast iron skillet set for the BBQ, the ones with the half sized handles. In total I've worked out that the free gifts now total just under a quarter of the cost for the original item! So if you have the time, it seems to pay to give a polite review, about both the product and service you experience. Shame its not an English company I'm dealing with but there we are.
  10. I can say anything I want, I'm the one with the Offset, ProQ and the meat!? Oh and I'm old and sex doesn't bother me anymore!!! So she tells me?
  11. You would think that they would be happy we are at home where they can keep an eye on us and not down the pub or on the golf course but oh no, its 'why have you bought that' and 'its your money you can spend it on anything you want' when you know that translates as 'why are you spending our money on this'. Something ordinary! I'll give her something ordinary, beans on toast, that ordinary enough for you? Smoked of course.?
  12. Oh stop it you smooth talking devil you.?
  13. As I stepped from the garden into the kitchen yesterday, the light drizzle clinging to my hair and plastic poncho, the smell of smoked roast pork belly wafted across the kitchen, the hound stopped snoring, instantly alert to the possibility of a free meal, the memsahib, less impressed, admitted it did, both look and smell, quite nice! High praise indeed from someone not known to care overly for any pork products other than bacon. This was no ordinary pork belly, for this was the first one smoked on the new offset using heat beads, hickory logs, and my own special rub, this was a crackling and meat triumph, this was man cave cooking at its best! The memsahib managed 'yeah its ok if you like that kinda thing' Oh well you cant win em all.?
