So I've got my grill setup indirectly with a 1.5kg pork shoulder. I think I overdone it with the first lot of fuel and I'm struggling to keep the temp below 300f without wedging the lid open.
Will I just need to wait until the first lot dies down and top it up with small amounts to keep it going?
Also, I know the magic number is 225f but the meat will adventualy cook and still be edible won't it?

OK cool. Found some apple wood chips and thought I'd give them a go with the pork shoulder.

Can you add wood chips to hot coals?

Great advice, thanks. Its going to be a lot of trial and error, just want to set myself up for success as best I can. I've got a thermometer and 8kg of aussie heat beads on order. I'll give it a go with a small joint when everything arrives and post the results.

So, I've decided I'm going to try a pork shoulder joint as a first time trial run on my bbq. Looking at the space I have to work with in my grill, the snake method of a long burn probably wont work. I think I'll need to have a small pile that I top up from time to time. How much coal briquettes am I likely to need as in a couple of kilos or a whole bag? how long roughly should a shoulder take at the 225F sweet spot?
I know there's probably a lot of variables with these questions but a rough guide would be handy. Will I need to set my alarm clock for like 3am to start the cooking lol?
All help greatly appreciated.

Perfect, thanks for that.

Hello again.
Just been looking at thermometers. I can find plenty meat thermometers that stay inside the meat on a wired probe while cooking but can't seem to find anything similar for the ambient cooking temp. Don't want to trust the one on the lid and want to give myself the best possible chances of cooking things correctly.
Can I use the same probe but lay it on the grill itself, or support it apove it somehow? Or is there a different type of thermometer?
Kind Regards

How are you all? My name is Dean. I live in Somerset and I work for the ambulance service.
I recently bought a duel fuel bbq and I want to use the charcoal grill to its full potential. I'm interested in low and slow cooking, who isn't?, but I've never tried it before. Not even sure my bbq will work. I'll add some pics if I can of the grill I have. I'm really after any advice on where to start and maybe what meats are good to start with.
Looking forward to speaking to you all and cooking some great food.
