How big was the gammon joint? When I did the 5kg it was so nice when done, took a few hours. 

Just over 3kg but cook it at 225F and to an internal temp of 165F (A little higher than usual, but we prefer ours flaky, almost pulled rather than sliced) Got a massive stall over 4 hours at 135F when I cooked it last time at that temp and had to ramp it up after 9 hours and still wasn't ready after 11 hours at woodsmoke 😀

I know you can roast it at higher temps, but once again, for our tastes, we prefer it lo&slo and eaten cold

Going to do a Turducken on Monday or Tuesday also

It wasn’t the weekend but on Monday I did some chicken thighs.  Marinated in yogurt and some spices

Stuck on a makeshift rotisserie

And results were fantastic. Put in a pita bread with some hummus or garlic sauce and some veg. Managed 3 meals with it.

Best of british! Based on my experience, you will do it fine. It is a bit nervewracking the first time though. 

I have cooked a small piece of shoulder today, but i think it is going to be a bit tougher than i would like. It will be fine when sauced. 

Beef ribs to go on tonight for overnight low and slow. Lamb shoulder and Pork belly bites for the rest of the weekend. 

Making up for a recent dry spell :)

Phil. 

PS thanks for helping me find this thread. I was looking for it earlier :)

Found a recipe the other day, for Braised Beef Short Ribs in a Dutch Oven that are smoked first, that appeals to me and hopefully will try before the summers out.

Yeah I think mine went over 9 hours in the end. The next long cook I’m thinking of doing overnight. I look forward to your pics.

Blitzed the diced veg that was in it. Added back to the red wine braising sauce. Resuces by simmering and jarred it for the meatballs i will do in skillet on qeber kettle.. Might add some woodsmoke to the kettle too

3kg Gammon cooked for just under 14 hours at 225F to an internal temp of 160F. Used a cherry wood chunk for smoke and a Marmalade, honey and lemon juice glaze. Would estimate the gammon lost nearly a third of its original size after cook, but more than ample for the 2 of us and some for the neighbour.

Looks great, cooked on the kamado?

This one was in the ProQ overnight. I cooked this on the Kamado today....Lamb Shoulder. First use of the A+O Shawarma rub.

And once the Beef Ribs were done, some Pork belly bites on the Pro Q. And some ribs. It was a bone in belly so i practised separating. 👍

So took 2 hours on rotisserie this morning. We like lamb well done. Kept some of the dry spices aside on Friday and mixed with hot ghee today and basted towards the end of cooking.

 

it’s now resting for an hour but I’m struggling to resist.
