wmatthewman Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Morning I am based in East Kent in a lovely little place called Westgate On Sea. I started Barbequeing a few years ago and I am now starting to get in to smoking. I have a Landemann Kentucky smoker and have started doing Brisket etc to varying success. Could do with some advice on how to seal the BBQ better!!! Oh and any rub recipes etc etc! Edited June 5, 2019 by wmatthewman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmatthewman Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Thanks. Another quick question. What is the best Charcoal to use for slow cook smoking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hi wmatthewman. Welcome to the group. There are a couple of threads about the best charcoal to use for what purpose. Personally I use CO2 neural briquettes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Once again, welcome to the forum. There are threads on the forum for Landmann Smokers plenty of good information. Charcoal is a very personal preference, I use a lot of Restaurant Grade Charcoal, others swear by Heat Beads, then there is the new generation of Coco Shell Bricketts.

Justin Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hi wmatthewman. Looking forward to your adventures, show us your cooks and hopefully you will find lots of helpful people and resources. I have been on the forum since last March 2018 and I have found and continue to find many friends and much help. The tailgates are great fun. I have organised the inaugural spring Anglia and Southeast which was last month, and I am going to the Midlands, Northern and National ones through the year. They are great fun and relaxing. Hope to see you at one of those certainly at least the national one. I learnt lots from this forum including cold smoking and charcuterie. Now I am getting into all grain brewing too, all through the inspiration derived from this forum. Lots of guidance on the Landemann offset and yes sealing is a serial discussion, be prepared to do modding to try to fix those things. My advice is learn form this experience ( that is mostly what i get from this forum)and hopefully you will have a top producing smoker and in future think about maybe buying for the longer term at a slightly higher price point. it kind of depends if you want something that works out of the box for years or something that needs tweaking and dialling in from the start. Both are viable routes it kinds which route you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmatthewman Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 this was my first attempted at Brisket on the Landemann. Managed to keep the temperature around 125 for 5 hours. Rubbed it with a recipe that an american friend gave me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
