Today I did half a boned pork shoulder in the Smokey Mountain with some hickory and Banksia pods for smoke. I was worried that it might dry out a bit being only 2 1/2 pounds but the result was the best PP I've done to date.

Picked up some cheap scallops and banana prawns which weren't particularly good quality. Had a bit of a fiddle last night and came up with this.............
Some Prawns on the side burner
Some scallops in white wine simmering on the Genesis
Add them to a Polenta smeared board with some roasted pumpkin, beetroot, cherry tomatoes, beans and broccolli. Splash a butter, olive oil, chilli, garlic and black pepper mix over the lot
and grubs up
Chucked the tongs in Mick It was a cool way to eat. Jan and I just scooped the food up from the board to the plate. Looked a bit like a train smash though. We plan to experiment with it a bit more especially the sauces. Traditionally it has a bolognese type sauce but I'm wondering about something like a Lahksa?
Something I've been playing with, A coppa in a small Wine fridge.
Humidity control to 85% for first six weeks was a glass bowl with a small fish tank heater and a meter to regulate.
Pretty simple stuff and used Nitrates in the cure.

Beef Short Ribs - firstly basic rub applied then cold smoked with the Smoke Daddy about 2 hours. After 48 hours in the Sous Vide at 56C the ribs returned to the BBQ for finishing and saucing. OMG awesome, the fat completely rendered and the meat still medium but falling off the bone, served with traditional accompaniments of Southern Apple Slaw, Bean Salad and Corn Bread.
Heart attack Sunday. Cooked some bacon in baby rays bbq sauce, caramelized some onion and added it to a crunchy bun with a beef sausage, topped with cheese and back in the OTS to crisp up.
Then the Mrs made sticky date puddings, baked using the leftover charcoal from dinner. I feel sick now.
