Sarah Duffy Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Pretty good first attempt I think! We’ve been going 7 hours now, just popped some beef cubes in that were brought by friends. See what happens with those. small beef joint, bbq chicken and souvlaki chicken (finished on grill for a few mins to brown off as we were starving) and some sausages. Almost all of it has been eaten and no one has vommitted yet. Sausages especially amazing! Much nicer than grilled. Had a bit of wind, rain, sun but seemed to take little effort to keep the temp in range. Before and after pics! Thank you all for your help so far!

Smokin Monkey Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 You should be really pleased. First attempt, not the best weather and a hungry audience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured I should be ok... pretty used to oil drum style and getting the heat how I want but not maintaining to this level of accuracy! Hopefully it wasn’t beginners luck ?

Justin Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 My only observation which is obviously down to individual taste is the beef if I did this would be medium rare at most. Did you use probes to help decide when to take off and allow for a 5 degs c rise whilst rests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steak I like medium rare but I generally like a well done joint (for the cheaper cut) and medium for the more tender cuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have finished cooking just unclip the smoker body and take it off. voila... an instant fire pit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried but couldn’t get it to separate! I guess the heat expanded the steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
