    Pulled pork

    I've started using a dipping gravy, rather than a sauce that works really well with slow cooked pork dishes, just put the gravy in a couple of gravy boats or small jugs, and people either pour it over there pork themselves or just dip there bun into it, Can be a little bit messy and sloppy, but...

    Got a Veggie Coming On Tuesday.

    Thanks for all the ideas, the cabbage one looks a very tasty one, and especially as a pulled pork accompaniment and is something I would like to try in the future, and not just for using as a vegetarian dish. Unfortunately the vegetarian is going to have to do with a ready made oven meal...

    Got a Veggie Coming On Tuesday.

    Any recipes for a tasty vegetable dish that can be done on a smoker or BBQ. Haven't got enough space to do a really big dish or long cook for a veggie dish (risk of contamination), so either needs to be a compact size in a dish/pan for the smoker as doing 10 racks of ribs in 2 rack holders and...

    Weber Smokey Mountain

    This wet July and August can't continue much longer hopefully. There are meant to be signs of it warming up a bit towards late August/September according to the MetO, Hope you get as much enjoyment from your ProQ model as I do. Did you get the cold smoking set to go with it also?

    Weber Smokey Mountain

    I have been using the ProQ Frontier Elite this summer after upgrading my Brinkmann. Very happy with it, it is well sealed, keeps a decent temperature over the cook, if quality charcoal/beads are used. It has good air control vents on the bottom and 2 racks easily allow me to cook up to 8 ribs in...

    Pork cheeks

    I was in Morrisons yesterday getting a couple of racks of baby back ribs to smoke today and they had some pork cheeks next to them so picked a pack of 5 up for £2.00 I had never cooked them before so just used some of the rib rub on them and left them overnight. Put them on with the ribs and...

    Osso Buco Pork

    I was aware of Osso Buco as a crockpot casserole veal dish, but have noticed Waitrose sell it as a straight forward free range pork cut, quite cheap @ £4.99 a KG . I have smoked pork shanks before, but they have been brined and are really a gammon shank. Wonder if anybody has tried smoking this...

    Ribs

    I have used Tesco's ribs and wasn't impressed tbh, too large and fatty. The best Supermarket ones I have bought and use regularly are Morrisons. They trim them really well but leave plenty of meat on them. Worth getting to know the lads behind the counter, and get the meat from out the back as...

    Looking for a not too spicy pulled pork cider apple and vinegar type sauce recipe

    Any recommendations and a recipe for a cider apple and vinegar type sauce to mix in the pulled pork. Normally do a madeira wine based sauce for it. But fancy trying something different for a pulled pork I am doing for a family gathering the weekend.  Going to be doing a dipping gravy if people...

    Bacon smoking

    No just sugars, salt, cure and honey. May look at the sodium ascorbate in the future. But initially happy with the outcome of the current mix and will probably look to just tweak that recipe, over the next few goes.

    Reverse seared rib!..

    Never slow cooked and smoked  a beef joint of any description before. Surprised how moist it stayed. Whether that was because I sealed it first as I normally do with a sunday roast or low and slow retains the moisture anyway?, I don't know. But it was genuinely the most tender cut of meat I have...

    Grated or Sliced Mozarella on a Pizza

    Ordered the foldable handle one, for ease of storage. Amazing how many extras, rib racks, chicken stands, pizza stones, dust and wood etc you collect, it all mounts up for storage.
