I wish you could get one to me....being cheeky! That looks amazing, Bear, in all its guises.

Hi Simon, from a fellow Brit. That looks pretty damn good, I take it the boss is impressed now. lol

Positive thoughts winging their way across The Pond to you both. You're her support & for you to be that, you need support too, so please talk to someone & let off steam. Great outcome for your wife & yourself, ronf.

Cheers, Bear & for the like too! As always, very much appreciated & gives encouragement.

Thanks, Chris, for the like too! Bring it to the top of your list, as you really won't regret it. I'm still quite gobsmacked every time it comes around to tasting, that I did it & how incredibly simple & delicious it is. lol

Thank you for the likes & comments, SmokinAl & SmokerJim, they really are appreciated.

Thank you for your comments & advice, PCFarmer. I normally just let the ProQ burn through which is 10 - 12 hrs when behaving, which I've been happy with. This did have some heavy smoking from the burn through, which worried me, but all was & tastes good. I will at some point go for a longer two...

You're welcome, Chris, so pleased it's clearing there a bit & that you sold your pool, all good! :emoji_sunglasses:

Finished off doing a Canadian style bacon & a back bacon today. I use a wet brine akin to Pop's (lower salt & sugar), with maple syrup, then crushed coriander, mixed peppercorns, mustard seeds & all spice berries that I put in an oversized 'teabag', floaters in the brine are a load of bay...

You're welcome & yes, please say, Chris. I will say on here once I've done a spiked one, especially if there's a change in flavour.

Well done on the solo rescue mission, Chris, your babies certainly didn't come to any harm because of it & look delicious. For the same reason, I have a conservatory that smells similar to your garage. Auto air fresheners & having the doors open haven't yet got rid, methinks it'll take a wee...

Sorry for the late reply, Chris, life kinda got in the way, as it does. Thank you for your reply & for the like, much appreciated. The brie type, I only gave a couple of days to sit as I was a tad twitchy to try it & I wasn't disappointed. It wasn't a big slap of smokiness, but it certainly...

Thanks, DocSteve, they are on the to do list. They would have been done, but the drums that were available were too small. I don't mind the fiddle, but that would have been micro surgery. lol

...or moisture, so despite the wind blowing a hooley & the odd torrential rainstorm, my simple set up worked just fine. Only did a couple of Wykes Somerset Cheddar, a mozz block, a brie type cheese & a small soft cheese herbed roll, as an experiment. Also, I decided on trying some natural sea...
