Wade Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 There is no central repository for ingredients so you best ensure that you bring what you need. There will be salt and pepper etc. but a lot of things on that list will probably be unique to your recipe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 yep, i was figuring herbs and spices but I will bring. Happy to share what i bring beyond what I need. Cooking time, bring it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 ingredients ordered £59 plus meat so about £80, not bad not the cheapest but that is Ocado for you, Costco is miles here and I can not be bothered to walk round a supermarket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icefever Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 @Steve. We see from your recipe that you do indirect cooking...will this work on our bullet smoker??? With the gammon on the bottom grill and lamb on the top one ? Will this be ok...we appreciate your thoughts. ? 2x Ice's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Yes that will be OK. Has your Bullet Smoker got a water pan/sand pan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bullet smoker with the "water" bowl in place is an indirect cook as the water bowl acts as a heat baffle. You can place water or sand in the pan to act as a heat buffer or you can leave it empty.

Mooo Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I have found water works better than sand. It tends to keep things a bit moister, so there is less of a drying effect on the meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a comparison trial for a US BBQ forum a few years ago and cooked two similar chickens on a ProQ bullet smoker - one with water and the other with sand. There was no appreciable difference between the two results. This was at ~150 C for just over an hour. Longer cooks may be different but one of the by-products of burning wood/charcoal is water vapour so it will be in the smoker anyway. I do my low-and-slow with an empty water pan now and it remains moist. When using the water I do find it uses more fuel though as the water in the bowl absorbs extra energy as the water turns to water vapour/steam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does use a bit more fuel, but I figure its worth it. Just fitted a damper on the bread oven for the same reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
