You have two great chances over the next two months, first is the BIG Woodsmoke 19 at Billing next month, and the second one being the 1st Midland Tailgate in the middle of Aug. If you're into camping it's easy, just set up whatever caravan, trailer or tent, get the bbq out and start cooking. Doing it along side by side with folks you get to put a face to, is also fun. Watch folks prepping food and getting everything ready, then the cooking, while this is happening most folks sit down to take a breather and sink a drink or two. The main day is Sat when it all comes together, the food is set out on a table and everyone helps themselves. Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlashster Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I am already away for the August one, but *might* be able to sneak along to the July one depending on a few things. I will see what i can do to beg/blag/organise/arrange for that. I assume day visitors would be OK for Billing? Phil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotv Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) @Icefever Picture of a lovely looking tri-tip that was cooked using the smartfire on @smartfirebbq on facebook. Doesn't necessarily need the smartfire but gives you the cooking temp and internal temps he used (9th June) no good at screenshots unfortunately Not sure 600F searing temp would be achievable on a proq, but would imagine just base and lid with plancha or grate over coals would get reasonably close to that, If it only needed a short time of cooking at the temp?

Icefever Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) @sotv cheers.....are you trying to get me into trouble with the memsahib again.... I can do that all by myself.. 😉 A screen shot is easy mate, on your pc should be a button with "prt sc" should be on the top row near the "delete" button. Hit that, you won't see anything happen, it stores the shot on the clipboard. I open Window paint that gives you a blank canvas, hit the "paste" top left and it should appear, hit the "save" tag and you save it wherever you want.....desktop, folder. Nice to see folks using Smartfire....I'm going to have to build up brownie points then I may stand a chance.... Ice.

sotv Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Wasn't trying to plug the smartfire to you. Just thought you may be interested in the temps they cooked it at. 600F seems a very high heat to sear for most smokers though. Maybe stand a better chance of doing that on your mini kamado if the tri tip fitted on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Plug away mate I need all the help I can get....🤣... spot on witht the temps, and with me going F on the next cook saves me converting. I think I've see a video where a guy does a tri tip on a frontier, and I'm sure he finished searing it by the way you said.....down to the firebox, grill on and on went the meat for a couple of mins both sides.....will see if I can find the video.

I've been pondering Beef Shoulder/Clod as a brisket alternative as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been pondering Beef Shoulder/Clod as a brisket alternative as well Worth considering chuck roast as a good alternative for brisket also. Had a couple from Morrisons, usually come in between 3-4kg in size, done burnt ends and whole with them. Very beefy flavour and pretty juicy if eaten on the same day as cooked. I think Brisket tastes better cold than the chuck though for leftovers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
