Hey Smokey Mick…yes the higher the protein the better apparently. But I have found Laucke's Wallaby flour to be superior…it is unbleached…not sure if the lighthouse brand is though.

And Dave one useful tip is once you have mixed up you flour, salt, water & yeast…put in a plastic container thats been sprayed with cooking spray or olive oil...leave to rise in the kitchen for around 2 hrs….then put it in the fridge overnight. (have a look on youtube for no knead bread).

Next day take it out of the fridge and let it stand for 1 hr or so….then empty out onto floured surface and knead it and shape it into the shape you want.

Working with cold dough is a lot easier (not as sticky)…..but it does take longer to rise obviously.

Another tip is to weigh your ingredients rather than 1 cup or 2 cups etc. It's the percentage of water too flour that you need to get right….a basic sandwich loaf would be about 55 - 65% ratio…..ie if you have 600g of flour then 60% water is 360g.

Things like Focaccia or Ciabatta are wetter doughs…..around 80%…and harder to work.


Cheers Mark

Oh and salt content is about 2% of your flour weight.

Anyway. Few beers in and I cant seem to regulate the heat. It either dies off or I get too high. At one point I think it was way too high as they started to char. I've got the bottom vents fully opened and the top ones slightly at the moment. Lid on of course.

I'm worried I've over done them already as after I hit that high point they haven't really been soft since. Cooking on 2 hrs so far.

Some flank going on soon. Chimi Churri on the side.

It looks like you've actually direct grilled them, in which case they will just overlook and dry out. For low and slow you need to shield them from the heat below. Use less beads and put the meat on a trivet with foil underneath. But I think trying to regulate temps for a long time on GA is going to be hard work.
Thanks mate. GA?

Oh and the charcoal was in a line down the middle with the Asado on either reside. But I'm guessing that's still too direct?

Looks good Glen, I reckon rump cap is good done any way.
CS put me onto it as I never thought to order it just buy itself.
If you get a chance one day, Do the route 66 reverse sear on one.
It comes out like soft plasticienne.
You can get low temp (66C) in the wsm buy making a snake.
Easy to do by placing a 6" deap base elcheapo cake tin or a big pinapple tin in the center and just pour the char around it to the top
of the basket.
Leave enough gap in the snake to add a few handfulls of lit char on one end without lighting both ends.
I once held a whole rump for 20 hours doing this (Had to add to the snake- easy to do)
If trees screamed when we cut them down, We wouldn't. If they screamed all the time we would.

I used my new Kettlepizza on the Royal Kamado last night….a big improvement over just using the Royal Kamado. I did 4 pizzas all under 4 minutes each. All agreed they were the best yet.
I tried to replicate this set up (see link below) using the kamado and an old portable bbq plate.

http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2 ... maker.html

Instead of using logs of wood on the charcoal….I just thew in the odd handful of pellets….worked a treat to get an instant burst of heat and flame.

Next time I'll use less charcoal as the bottom plate was a bit too hot.

A few pics.

Used the blender to whip up my own marinade for Nando's chicken.
Surpassed Nando's :o but I think there are a few more tweaks to perfect for us.
The usual suspects, herbage, chilies, garlic and lemon and so on.
Spatchcocked a Mt Barker Free Range hen.
Gawd that Mt Barker is a good chook!

Made a glaze of honey butter and garlic too.

Bagged them in marinade for a day or so and we have Piri Piri African chook and with a Mexican inspired soft taco.
