I tend to buy charcoal that is described as 'restaurant quality' rather than standard charcoal. I use a kamado, so I tend to notice the brands that create more ((unhelpful) ash.
At the moment, Big K is my charcoal of choice. I'm not sure if it is the best one... but it works well for what I do.
Not tried the ones you've listed.

Never heard of ABTs before, but I think I now need to make some!!

I think I'll give that a go next time. Looks great.

I tend to go for the usual coleslaw, potato salad, cornbread, corn on the cob.
Now and then I'll make grilled vegetables.
Am I missing any excellent sides (I suspect I am)? If so, what is everyone else making?

It’s from black box bbq. I can see me using it often and it is just about portable enough to take camping.

As a treat to myself I bought a tabletop parrilla, a bag of wood and a big ribeye!
To be honest, it was more fun than I expected. Friday night, sitting outside, with a can of beer, burning some logs and cooking steak!
I'll need a bit more practice but I was pleased with the results for a first attempt.
Has anyone else tried this way of cooking before?

Hi Justin
I am fairly sure that I'll be able to make it. I'll have to confirm over the weekend though.

They look lovely. I bet the kofta works really well.
Did you have any sauces with them?

Hi all
The Hangfire cookbook takes all the credit for this cook! I folded the recipe (and did the recommended sides) and it turned out beautifully.
In essence I smoked the ribs for a couple of hours, before braising them got another couple in a cider based bbq sauce.
It’s a pretty failsafe method - so I’ll definitely be using this next time I entertain.
Hope you’ve all had a nice weekend.

This is my version of Jerk chicken. Well, I say my version, I should say go to recipe. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/jerk-chicken-rice-peas
Goes fantastically well with the rice and peas (also in the recipe) and plenty of hot sauce!

Hi All
I made these chicken thighs yesterday. Only a small quantity this time (too small!) but it can easily be scaled up.
I smoked the chicken with a dry rub and once done seared on an orange and saffron glaze (made by reducing orange juice, saffron, and sugar).
Served with middle eastern slaw (heavy on the syrup and pomegranate molasses) and hassleback potatoes.
Definitely one to do again (I'll make more next time though!)

I cooked a small brisket joint on my Kamado Joe Junior this weekend.
It turned out pretty good. I thought that it might dry out a little, so once it was smoked I put it into a tray with beer, onion, garlic and green peppers (copied from the internet) and covered it with foil for the last few hours. (I only used a salt and pepper rub.)
Served with homemade BBQ sauce, homemade cornbread (turned out really well) and some potato salad.
I might now splash out on a whole brisket now that I know I wont ruin it!

Hi
its nice to find a forum for smoking that is UK based.
I’m working with a kamado - usually at least better than the oven. But occasionally great. I just need to become more consistent!
I’m looking forward to reading and contributing.

Anyone using an offset

Hi all
I am thinking of treating myself to an offset smoker... something like the Cactus Jack 20".
Is anyone using one? If so I'd love to pick your brains before I part with any cash.
