    First crack at pastrami

    So I finally had my first taste of pastrami the other week, I had been interested in it after seeing it on American tv shows. My first impression was it is just smoked corned beef with spices ( I could be very wrong on what cut of meat it really is), so I decided to have a go for myself after...

    Ironbark smoked chicken pieces

    Do you mean like a dipping sauce or finishing sauce etc? I grew up with just marinating them was enough, I guess this would come down to a culture based thing as growing up they would have just been cooked in the oven or on the bbq (gas grill). Could you suggest a sauce or way I could do it...

One day in the future I would like to make...

    Ironbark smoked chicken pieces

    Hi Clive maybe this may help you out a bit as I’ve only used so far ironbark which is similar to hickory but not as strong, banksia don’t really know what to compare it to, black wattle which has a strong flavour like mesquite and yellow stringybark which has a really subtle smoke flavour to it.
