Snack stick help
Haha in point of fact, it's incredibly hard to find a can of fosters in Australia! But it is a long way between anything so the old aussie "long neck" aka 750ml (25 oz) bottle does the trick! -
Snack stick help
Thanks, i will look into whether these are available in Australia. The HM kit for snack sticks is $50 plus postage here in aus so not cheap. -
Snack stick help
Yeah fair point, i got a bit carried away there. The main question is meant to be whether the HM kits are worthwhile or not. -
Snack stick help
G'day all, I've long been interested in the world of curing (eventually want to do salami and kabanos etc.) and figure snack sticks (twiggy sticks in australia) is a nice easy intro. I've no idea where to start so was thinking of getting a hi mountain snack stick kit to try my first batch... -
3-2-1 too much?
The challenge in Aus is that smoking is still in its infancy and butchers are even further behind. A pork butt or Boston bun request leaves em looking clueless. When it comes to ribs I've never seen or bought any that weren't basically bone. Every bit of meat is scraped off the top just leaving... -
Duck breeds
G'day all, Not exactly a cooking or smoking thread but I was looking for suggestions from anyone who has ducks on a good dual purpose breed. Looking for a duck that can produce eggs but also great table fare. I guess I'm looking for anything that can best a pekin if it's out there. -
Cooking over Charcoal = Toxic Masculinity?
Just the social pendulum swinging to it's extreme, sometimes i think we're incapable of balance. It's all a part of the domestication of humans, same as why we shouldn't be allowed to do barbaric things like hunt or even eat meat. My wife and I worry about the world my son has to grow up in...- 275

Venison burgers
This is one of the things that has no right or wrong answer. I've tried everything from 100% venison to 50/50 ven/pork. For me the money spot is 80/20 venison/pork. I've also moved toward fatty pork cuts rather than just pork fat. -
Wild Goose Pastrami
Sounds great, no geese here but reckon it might work with our mountain duck. Only two months till duck season here. -

Pork butt issue
Good point and no i haven't. I bought a thermopro tp 20 and just assumed it would be accurate. -
Pork butt issue
Nah not quite, on a pig skeleton there's the shoulder blade which connects to another bone which connects to the knee. I had it from the shoulder blade to the first joint. -
Pork butt issue
Thanks guys next time i will take it to a little over 200. I did notice when removing the thermometer it did seem to have some resistance. The bone also didn't come out fully clean. Regards to the pig I'm not sure, i will ask next time. In point of fact I'm off a farm and my old man buys 4-6... -
Pork butt issue
Thanks for the reply, i had wondered just that. I watched a couple of youtube videos by the bloke howtobbqright and he was running at 275 and turned out a great butt so i was hoping to do the same. Most things I've read have suggested the lower temps though. I'm heading off on holidays next... -
Pork butt issue
G'day all, New to smoking and very glad to have found this forum. It's not a real big thing in Australia though it's picking up traction a bit more. I always wanted a charcoal grill but was bought a gas smoker so I'm making do. So far I've tried a few things, brisket (turned out a but dry...
