Sluggy Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Couple of pork leg joints today!! Not the best but both were £5-6 in Aldi I have removed the skin from 1 but the other is a bit too scrappy and will fall apart. Rubbed up with Brown sugar, paprika, garlic celery salt, black pepper and a touch of curry powder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaza the Instructor Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 How well does the baffle plate work on temp stability? I own and have used on a regular basis for the last 12 years a 22" WSM as of the moment it is totally unmolested and is a great bit of kit. However I have just ordered one of these. https://prosmokebbq.co.uk/collections/bbq/products/tip-top-temp?variant=31208188969054 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluggy Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Works great, takes a while to heat up at its own speed but I tend to hit it with a blow torch to speed things along. Once up to temp it’s incredibly stable as a big chunk of steel holds its temp very well. Hated the water pan as it gave me no room in the coal chamber and found it messed with the temps if water was added. Not too mention wrapping or cleaning the thing I no longer use any moisture in the cooker other than spraying with cider vinegar, can’t see me going back and changing anything again. The only regret is that I wish I’d bought a bigger plate so I could hang it from the shelf lugs a little lower as that might speed up the initial heating phase.

Gaza the Instructor Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Ok thanks one on order. The main thing is getting rid of that water pan. It is such a pain to clean out. The WSM is though a great piece of kit and will not swap to a pellet thingy. I like using charcoal it gives great flavour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaza the Instructor Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 @ Ice I will certainly try it and let you know my thoughts. The yanks are just going potty over it. The best ideas are always simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I cover the pan in foil then it is to clean up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaza the Instructor Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Blimey mate a tad harsh, I think they bring something to the party. Horses for courses and all that . I know they are sweet, but with a nice bit of pulled pork salad and a gulg of hot spicy bbq sauce. Yum Yum I rest my case mi' Lud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Don’t mind a Brioche Bun, if it’s toasted! Also great for making Bread & Butter Pudding if a few days old! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
