Hey guys, After a bit of reading I am finally doing my first test brisket using the snake method smoking with apple wood :D 1d60df34-7798-4c17-af9a-115ee34e5887.jpg Baby all prepped brisket.jpg What I am wondering is about mopping. Picked one up and ready to go but, do I lose much heat when I use it...

Even easier!

So that timing mentioned is for a 5-6kg piece in the book.
Mine is roughly 4.5kg... Same timing still applies?

Same timing

Cheers

Hi :) So doing my first pickled xmas ham on the Weber kettle and got a few questions. I have had a read and still filtering through a lot of posts. Did a supermarket ham some time back based on the guide from the Weber book which was pretty amazing but this is now next level for me, about time :lol:...

Hi Pete

Yeah new Weber and first non gas It is a bit tricky going from a flat plate gasser to a charcoal kettle. That was us only a couple of years ago - if you're cooking with heatbeads or charcoal just make sure they're properly lit before you throw your meat on. You'll screw up some but soon there'll be...

I put briquettes in the compost and worm farm, but also around my raised beds to keep the snails out. I don't think there is anything nasty in heatbeads.. Sawdust and starch. Heat beads have coal in them At issue is coal's content of uranium and thorium, both radioactive elements. They occur in suc...

Excellent work MrB, and thanks for posting. That is one of my all time favorite recipes. As a tip, smoke will only penetrate the meat until the outside seals so it's best to get it in there early in the cook rather than towards the end. Congrats on a successful cook though, the troops must have bee...

Thanks all. Might try it in with a couple of my chili plants. Im guessing similar properties to potash, only because of the name

Thanks guys for all the tips so far. I may have paid a premium for mine at BBQ's galore but she dropped $5 off the marked price for me. They have them going for $39.90 or there abouts. Not sure where else to go :) But yeah after getting it im glad i did. Works well and i don't see any air restrictio...

Is there any practical use for the ashes left over from the BB or just bin em?
I have a couple of raised garden beds, does anyone use them for fertilizer of any sort?

Ok so after a learning curve on my test cook, some great advice from here and a bit more reading I did my first roast last night. Picked up some heatbeads, a chimney starter, those cardboard starters and was going a short time later. http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb230/MrFish_photos/coals.jpg H...

My first test cook the other day. Temp was fine on the lid thermo but soon declined. Took me a relight and the temp to drop before i realised I gotta learn to cook uncovered first. I still have no clue but that was my first lesson :mrgreen: Are we talking about a Kettle? Chris Yeah new Weber and fi...

Just got the heat beads one
