So, having got back off holiday, I couldn't wait to break the smoker out. I Got some Heat Beads the other day and I was itching to try them as I've heard good things, what can I say?
First of all, Holy crap these things burn well and hot. I chucked 3/4 of a chimney into my cheapo bullet and the temp immediately shot up to 160c+
I'm currently letting it drop down now before I get the pork on. I'm determined not to let hunger overtake patience this time and go for the full 12hr smoke and temp check much more often. My previous pork has been reasonable, but slightly chewier than I would like. This time. It will be different.
