Re: Replacement Thermometer Probes?

Thank.

I bought a HD-377 last weekend and tried it on a pork belly. Seemed to work fine. It didn't drop out and I didn't need to rely on flaky bluetooth. I'm happy enough with the buy for now.

Cheers

COS - Which Charcoal/Lump Charcoal?

Hi Folks, Probably against what a lot of people say (& some people don't seem to think is a problem), I have gotten my hands on a Cheap Offset Smoker. I plan to fire it up this weekend and have a play with a piece of Pork (either neck or belly). As I have used Charcoal Briquettes in the past, wi...

Re: Pulled Pork for beginners, by a beginner.

Hi Folks,

Thought I would post here. After my success on my first Pulled Pork, I'd like to try it again. The biggest issue with this cook is, I have been asked to serve it for lunch this Saturday.

Would it be best to cook it in on shot on Friday, or can I do it over two cooks?

Cheers

Re: Doesn't look like much, but, boy was it tasty! My first attempts at Smoking (pulled pork)

Thanks Davo, As for another cooker, I think if we get a handle on this, another cooker would definitely be on the wish list. I had looked at offset smokers and had even thought of getting one of those cheapies off of My Deal and such, but thought I would try like this first. I gather, though, that a...

Re: Doesn't look like much, but, boy was it tasty! My first attempts at Smoking (pulled pork)

Thanks. I think we got the smoke just right. It smoked for around 1 1/2 to 2 hours and had a decent flavour. Now I need to decide what I want to do next! I am thinking of something beef. I see I can get Brisket in the Central Markets for around $14 a KG. Not sure if that is a good price or not. Cheers

Hold your head up proud mate, I would be happy to eat that. You did great Thanks! I have to admit, it did come out better than I expected, especially the smoky flavour. I only added a handful of wood chips, which was burnt within the first 1.5 hours. of the cook. I now need to think of something el...

Replacement Thermometer Probes?

Hi Folks, I have been using a BB Q Chef (BBQ's Galore brand, I believe) remote digital thermometer for a few years now, but unfortunately, it appears that the wire in the probe is broken. Does anyone know the best place to get replacement probes? I went into BBQ's Galore today and the only probes th...

Hi from Adelaide - Wanting to learn smoking

Just thought I would pop in and say hi! I'm from Adelaide's Southern Suburbs. I (or more the the point, my wife and I) have been your typical back yard BBQers for a while, including roasts first in a kettle and then a Weber Q. As a matter of fact, 90% of all our meat is now cooked outside on the Q. ...
