finally managed to squeeze in a bit of smoking time between building the camper and servicing the cars this weekend..oh joy
as i always say..and im sure others do to..no point in firing up a bbq and putting a chipolata on it, so done a 6kg pork shoulder and cured a 2.5kg ham at the start of the week
ham at the cooler end took about 7 hours and the pork took about 11 hours
also soaked some beans overnight and cooked them under the pork catching the juice
came out really good, beans on toast the next morning with some grated cheddar over the top was to die for!
one thing i learned this smoke was gusts of wind really knock back the temps almost instantly so will be doing some sealing mods to the smoker before the next fire up and also checking the weather forcast
i did spin the pork around to crisp up both sides equal
