Craigcog Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Nice that Adam. Have you got a temp control fan for your egg? Good bark by the looks of it, what wood did you use for smoking? Edited April 13, 2020 by Craigcog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Yeah I have a temp controller, I just used applewood for smoking but the smoke was really subtle. Will use more next time to bring more smokey flavour to it. Apart from that i was quite pleased with the result😀. Pictures dont look as good as your lamb though👍😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigcog Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Oh I don't know looks good to me. I ve got to say though once I got my flame boss my cooks have improved 100% second best thing I bough after the Egg. I've not done a brisket yet but I would be confident of it turning out well wile using the controller. Also it's a big piece of meat to cook on lock down for four😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 haha yes, beef butties all week for everyone! I want to try beef brisket one day....but I dont want to end up with shoe leather🤔 The temp controllers are a great bit of kit, opens up the option for overnight cooks which I love doing 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WispyWales Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Pulled pork looking good there @AdamG! I was planning on brisket for a first kamado cook but based on the post above it sounds like that might be a bit ambitious?! Done my reading etc but no substitute for xp!

Smokin Monkey Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 As it’s very ambitious if you have not cooked anything on it yet and mastered the temperature control. I know, it’s like a kid in a sweet shop, but it is really important to get to know how it operates, before diving straight in. You see lots of people buying kit going in head first, ruining £££’s of meat then giving up! There is a Saying KISS (keep it simple stupid) I would go as I recommend to everyone with a Chicken, a few quid is not the end of the world if it doesn’t turn out good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WispyWales Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Cheers guys, really appreciate the steers! Looks like chicken for a first go then, hopefully with all this lockdown biz I should be able to get my cooks in pretty regularly (read as: every day 😂) Is it worth getting one of those ceramic chicken stand things? I've read that spatchcock is the best way to go for a chicken, never done that before but doesn't sound difficult! Just spotted there's a home brew forum on here too... planning to bottle some homemade cider this evening, my first batch using fresh cold-pressed Russet apple juice instead of AJ from concentrate - will post up some pics if I remember 🍏🥃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
