Geez this is tempting - they even offer free delivery down here. There also appears to be a voucher where you can get 2 sets (so 8 thermometers) for the same price.... I'll be wrestling with this idea all day at work now!

Very interesting thread - thanks to all that have put in some interesting information! Very interesting to see what is available stateside vs Australia. (Sidenote - sorry for the absence of posts of late - have moved house and still in the process of finishing a new BBQ/Smoking/Grilling area)...

Nice work mate - welcome aboard! Another retired butcher here out Bendigo way. Great spot here for good advice

This time last year I was on my first ever cruise down the Rhone river in southern France. Loved it. Emerald Cruises is who we went with - a part of the Scenic Group from memory. Every single staff member was amazing, food and wine top notch and the day trips were all interesting with day trips...

Wow - what a story - welcome aboard! First visited Phitsanulok province about 25 years ago! Not a bad part of the world. Looks an epic setup, well done on what looks like a great success. Look forward to hearing about the next stage. Plenty of good information and vibes around here. Hi5

Welcome aboard SaltPorkResearch! A greater resource than this board on all things cooking, smoking and BBQ-ing you will not find! I agree with you - down here food prices specifically meat prices have got out of control. I know it is easy to blame the big supermarkets and they certainly hold...

Looks amazing - thanks for the idea! Currently in the process of moving house and travelling, but will give this a crack when we get back. Nailed a Christmas Ham back at, believe it or not, Christmas time likely before discovering this forum - doubt I took photos etc back then but the family...

Looks amazing! Is that bacon on top of the poppers? Added to my list of things to try - thanks!

Whist it definitely went ok - the aim was for Pastrami rather than what became essentially a normal brisket. Temp was most likely 107 deg C (225F) for the most part after the first 2 hours or so on the "smoke" setting which sits around 80 C (175F). 121C/250F for the last bit IF time is running...

Looks amazing - great work! welcome aboard from sunny Melbourne.

Great idea re the cookie rack - I might try it next time. Sadly I think it may be third time lucky - this one did not work either. Starting to think my curing salt is actually either Himalayan salt or simply pink salt.... Though not a complete disaster - nothing needed to be thrown out, like...

Ok 9 days later and we are on the smoker! The weekend was a bit bigger than I thought it would be so I delayed the smoke for today (Tues AM) since I am off today and don't have to go back in to work until Wednesday afternoon at this stage - an extra couple of days never hurt did it? Was...
