[Smokin Monkey]

Can only be one subject this month. Food you would cook for the Kings Coronation!

Hagus? lol

I'm a wee bit late to the party. Decided to smoke a couple of Turkey Legs today and much like the Kings speech it's not just for Christmas. 

Both had a southern rub on them with the one with the toothpick getting a peri peri on top. I was going to sauce before end but decided to do next time. 

Smoked in the Aldi Kamado between 120- 150c for 1hr 45 mins with apple wood. I think next time I'll go 150 - 175c. 

And for those asking how they were, lets just say it was like poultry in motion. 🤓

My entry is a pork rack joint. I didnt get many pics as I would have liked to but I had a few jobs that needed doing in between

i cooked for the first 30 mins over the lumpwood and then swapped to indirect once it had a nice outer. Dome temp of 200C for the whole cook and took about 1 hour 20 mins. Finishing temp was a little high but fortunately it didnt dry out.

Looks good @AdamG It does look like it got a nice smoke ring on it though.

Thanks Hoogl👍

Yeah the smoke ring turned out bigger than I expected since I only used a handful of apple woodchips...however the smokiness flavour was more subtle than it looks. I only wanted a hint of wood smoke since I was serving it aa a roast dinner

Yeah I sometimes forget that others don't like as strong a smoke as I do. I tend to use more Oak these days, but I need to circle round to milder woods again.
