U can do that again Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Indirect belly pork over mix of artisan lump & briquettes with bit of applewood for smoke, will lower grate, flip joint over, move direct to hopefully get crackling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U can do that again Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Well it's done, great flavour, juicy, crackled OK but a little burnt in places 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Looks great!😋🤤 I would imagine its difficult to get a great even crackle all over...burnt bits look minimal to me👍 I would be very happy with that😁😁🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering what joint to do next, any recommendations?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned out delicious last time I did one😋 Have a couple of Texan steaks hanging at local butcher, will take them somewhere between 35-42 days hanging. How big a piece of topside & roughly how long to cook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evening, very observant, it is a cast iron grate, standard on my Napoleon kettle also hinged sections to load coals etc, can be lowered height wise & the lid is hinged on mine but is the "posh one".......very happy with it, think Sooty(?) has one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 A topside beef weighing 2kg should take roughly 2 hours to roast at 180C-200C. I suggested it since it would be similar cooking process as your belly pork👍 I have never heard of Texan steaks before, I would be interested in seeing some photo's when you have cooked those😋👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
