    pork tenderloin ideas

    Hi guys, I have been away for a while, the kamado grill has been on the go every chance I have had though! I'm looking for some ideas about cooking pork tenderloin, thinking of stuffing it with some chorizo to keep it moist, but not sure about timings/temperature to aim for, any suggestions...

    smoking a top rump tomorrow...ideas needed please!

    Wow, Great job Wade, Looks like 'low and slow' kept the rump as juicy as possible. When I get my hands on a decent rump (errr....) I will try it in the kamado and see what results I get, I doubt I will be able to control the temp as well as you have here mind happy smoking Justin!

    My carving skills need to be improved, but to be fair this meat was so tender it was a challenge!

    smoking a top rump tomorrow...ideas needed please!

    Hi guys, So the smoke went well today, uneventful, with little problems with temp control, keeping the temp around 225°f, taking internal temp to 135°f, (nobody else eating wanted anything too rare ), left the prime rib eating for 1 hour before carving. Pictures to follow....

    smoking a top rump tomorrow...ideas needed please!

    Kiska, Got them on Amazon, think they were from weber. Thanks for the tip Wade, I was going to try a chunk of mesquite with 2 pecan and some hickory chips. Can't wait, going to have a go tomorrow. Legoland today unfortunately! Happy smoking Justin

    smoking a top rump tomorrow...ideas needed please!

    I'm gutted, went to Bells (local butchers) no rump! The only other offerings were disgracefully small in tescos. So I have a part forerib instead (not that I'm complaining...). Won't be joining in the top rump smoking this weekend! On a plus I have received my mesquite and pecan chunks to join...

    hickory and mesquite, what's the difference?

    Haha Danny, The missus is already sceptical about the length of time some of the cooks are taking! Happy smoking Justin

    hickory and mesquite, what's the difference?

    Thanks smokewood, that saves me a lot of hassle pissing about soaking my wood for no benefit. Many thanks Justin

    hickory and mesquite, what's the difference?

    Thanks Wade, I will try my luck with the wood chunks for more and experiment with wrapped unwrapped during cooking. My problem is updating a carefully laid temperature mood long cook in the kamado. Open the lid, wrap/baste meat, bbq temp drops, open bottom and top Windows to increase temp, try...

    Thanks chef, we're lucky to have you here!

    hickory and mesquite, what's the difference?

    Thanks Wade, So looking up the AMNTS -it is a metal tube which you fill with the pellets? How long does the smoke last for with this set up? Would you say it is a better set up than chunks of wood? Justin

    hickory and mesquite, what's the difference?

    By the way chef jj, tried your Smokey au jus recipe. It was delicious, many thanks! :-)

    hickory and mesquite, what's the difference?

    Thank you guys, really very helpful from you all. The idea of pellets sounds interesting, do you treat them the same as the wood chunks-give them a soaking before smoking? I think my approach with the mesquite will be to mix it in with the hickory, say 2 hickory chunks to 1 mesquite, see how...

    hickory and mesquite, what's the difference?

    Hi all, I'm really new too smoking, so far I have worked through a bag of hickory chips. I'm now getting hickory and mesquite chunks which I hope will add a better depth of flavour with a more prolonged burn. Does anyone have any preference with the different woods? Should I treat then...

    smoking a top rump tomorrow...ideas needed please!

    The complexity of cooking using different smoked would be a challenge, with indisputably differing sizes of beef, charcoal and wood chunks. That being said, it's not a scientific investigation, it's eating meat and lots of it! Wade thanks for the offer, however I have 2 little ones and my...

    smoking a top rump tomorrow...ideas needed please!

    please/30#post_1386351"]Hi Danny. I am just going from my own experience with the Rump. You know me, I really just want to get at the facts - and it may have been an unfortunate chunk of Rump that would have been tough no matter how it was cooked. I am totally up for giving it another go though...
