Re: Its Quiet on this Board

Did a heap of smoking over Xmas but didn't take many pictures. Had both the offset and pellet grill going Xmas eve. Did brisket and ribs in the offset and the turkey in the pellet grill. Will definitely start posting on here a bit more often.

Had some nice weather so i fired up the offset

Brisket is just Salt & Pepper, one half of the Ribs is the BBQ Pit Boys Dry Pork Rub and the other half is Brown Sugar & Bourbon. I used the BBQ pit boys MOP on the Ribs and Brisket. The Brisket stalled at the 5hr mark so i had to use the texas crutch for 2 1/2 hours then i let it rest for a...

Hi Dave

Welcome to the forums, brisket is harder than I thought it would be but Ribs come up amazing in the offsets.

Re: Nico's Cheap Offset Smoker

Hi Davo

You are correct the chimney only needs about 5 min on the side burner and I am watching it the whole time. I then move it to a fire pit until they ash over.

Cheers

Peter

Re: Nico's Cheap Offset Smoker

For the first smoke i just used the kingsford briquets only and the ribs still had a lot of smoke flavor. For the second used the rest of the bag of the kingsford and then used range master briquets for a majority of the cook which were harder to light but burnt longer than the kingsford. I also add...

Re: Wagyu Rump - Low and Slow Advice?

How did it go? Sounds like a great cut of meat. I would of just done salt and pepper and cooked it low and slow until is was medium and served with a red wine jus, potato rosti, green beans and some roasted tomatoes.

Re: Nico's Cheap Offset Smoker

I managed to keep the smoker between 200f and 240f by adding briquets every 30-40min, most of the time it was on 225f but i was only adding 20 at a time after they had ashed over. The ribs were in for 5 hrs, the spuds 3hrs, corn 2.5hrs (way to long), i added some steak 2hrs, hotdogs 1.5 hrs. IMG_089...

Nico's Cheap Offset Smoker

I have been wanting to get a smoker for a few years now but couldn't decide whether to go Gas, Electric or Charcoal. There was no way i could afford a pellet grill so after spending a weekend reading the Amazing Ribs website and watching a heap of videos on youtube i decided the offset was the way t...

Re: Aldi pizza stone in my Jackeroo Grange

A mate of mine brought a new bbq so I scored another grill plate off of the bbq he was throwing out. I bought another pizza stone from Aldi and when I do pizzas I remove the hot plate and the flame tamer under the grill plate and put in the second grill plate. I place a stone on each plate and run a...
