Get a second hand Weber kettle on eBay, learn a bit how to control fire and how to cook meat this way then move on to an offset if you still want to ...

What controller do you recommend Fleetz?

Hi I got a Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5" model and some rubs and sauces sent to me by a friend in the USA a week ago. I was looking at the only locally available model, the 18.5" version, but read somewhere that it was a bit small as it couldn't fit a whole rack of spare ribs on it without b...

I had a piece of black flaky stuff drop onto a piece of chicken i was smoking the other day, when i looked at the lid of the Weber kettle it was covered with the same sort of stuff. The next day I got out some hot water, scourers and eventually used some oven cleaner as well and in total must have s...

I always try to get the butcher to remove the skin before bringing, i don't like how it curls the bacon when it's frying!

On my iPhone I have three apps, all timers, I use them (frequency) in the order I write about them ... Though I mainly use the first mentioned app; LabTimer - Free - six timers that count down or up. So you can set a timer that will go off when it's time to put your meat on and then to show how long...

That flappy looking things is called the 'skirt' or something, I trim it off and smoke it while the ribs are cooking for adding to baked beans or eat it – 'pitmaster's privilege'!

The ribs are 'spare ribs' so if you cut off the top along the cartilage what you have left is St Louis style ribs.

It's not too hard to find honey powder, I got some from http://www.noosa-essentials.com.au , so if you get some you can combine the honey powder with other spices in your rub. I haven't done pulled pork with honey but I have done some ribs and was plenty happy with the results, see this page for som...

I liked the look of Urbangriller's Lamb Boston Butt http://www.aussiebbq.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10143&start=15&hilit=lamb+shoulder so much I wanted to give it a go, so I asked one of the butcher's at my local market for a lamb forequarter with the neck and shank removed, this is ...

I dropped in here a few weeks ago when I was in the area, they didn't have any ribs, tri-tip or brisket at the time, but at the prices the butcher quoted (St Louis ribs @ $20/kg, tri-tip @ $25/kilo or brisket @ $15/kilo) I wasn't too disappointed because they seem like high prices (especially the tr...

Any unusual types of spices in that style of cooking?

On a slight tangent, have any of you guys updated to version 2 of Tapatalk that's in the App Store now? I've only seen bad reports about the new layout etc and complaints about crashing etc ...

Hi

When I was in the US in May I went to a dozen or so BBQ restaurants between LA and KC, the baked bean sides at most of the places I went to had a similar taste, does anybody have a recipe for these beans?

Thanks
