    Fuck that looks good?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    It's a really clever system. Bradley (spell?) smoker. A supplier gave it to us, so boss decided we should shake-down test it a few times before he chucks it on his catamaran. It auto feeds these wood chip briquettes (size and shape of a hockey puck) on a timer. Full temp monitoring, timers, electronic temp probes for in the meat, alarms, you name it. You literally can't fuck it up. They are fucking expensive though ( $1100 for the smallest one, without a temp probe), but this one cost zero, which is a very sharp price indeed.

    We cooked a few pork sausages, lamb kebabs, rolled pork, and a bit of brisket in there. All prep'd yesterday while having a beer, and went in at 7am before we got into the days work. The sossies and kebabs came out at 10h30 for morning tea (no pics of finished soss, they were too good and got inhaled, kebabs only juuuust survived long enough for picture). The brisket and pork were insanely good, I was feeding customers lumps of meat as they picked up their cars during the day, the odd sales rep, anyone that stood still long enough basically. It was fucking hilarious.

    Have a new found respect for brisket as a cut of meat, going to knock a smoker up for home on the weekends. @stretch, a leg of goat properly prepared, this way (8/9 hours) would be outstanding I reckon

    I've got one. They are bloody brilliant.

    Haven't been able to do smoked chicken to a acceptable level yet though.

    Sausages, ribs, lamb shoulder, all great.

    Also can do smoked cheese in it and it is fantastic. Bit of a nack to keep the temp down, but you can fit about 4 kgs of cheese in. Cut blocks into 1/3's, put on baking paper squares and onto racks, keep the smoker out of the sun, open the top vent about 3/4, about 80 mins (4 wood pucks), then wrap the cheese real tight in glad wrap, and into fridge for about 2-3 weeks. The last bit is the key, if you eat it to soon, it tastes like eating ash, but leave to mature and it's great.

    Also when you do Peking duck, I use it as a drier. Pull out the electric box and made up a 'flange' to cover the hole, put a 12v computer fan in the hole, open top vent fully, hang duck inside , turn on fan, dried duck. Just had a thought - will use it for billtong.....

    Forgot to take pics last night but cooked lamb racks, beef eye fillet and veni back steak on my open fireplace outside, over a heap of manuka coals.



    It all came up bloody well. Especially the beef fillet which really soaked up heaps of smokey goodness.

    It was a special send off dinner for my good hunting mate Grant who is unfortunately heading back with his family to live in Aussie in a week.

    The cool thing with sous vide is you can then also give it a very quick 30 seconds in the hottest pan you can muster. That way you get the perfectly cooked centre, but also the added tastiness provided by the malliard reaction. ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillard_reaction )

    A good simple easy way to sous vide is just hot tap water (55 degrees ish) into a chilly bin, but only half full. Then top up with a litre of boiling water every half hour or so, try that over 6 hours- you'll be making werewolf noises I guarantee it

    Actually it's not uncommon for you to find these in French cheese, still tasted bloody good!
    They where only spotted once we had pushed back our plates and reached for he port.
    Not to worried as if my stomach acid did not kill them the port would have

    Not sure if our guests where that amused but before they where spotted they where saying how good it tasted

    Last sat I tried smoked snap and rig at a mates bbq for the first time ever and enjoyed them muchly, so tonight I smoked a snap.







    This is my second plate......all that loose meat is from the head.....there may be a few less fish heads given away from now on!



    I knew there was meat in there of course but I had never actually cooked a snapper head myself and was bloody surprised how much there was!
