    Finally Nailed Brisket!

    Apologies for the square videos - these were pulled from my Instagram! For the first time ever, I managed to cook a packer-cut brisket almost perfectly! There were 2 things that I did differently to before: I sourced the perfect piece of meat from Meat and Cleaver UK (no affiliation but they...

    Advice on cooking the flat separately

    Hi all, I'm attempting my 2nd brisket cook soon but am ordering a flat from a butchers here in the UK. I wasn't sure whether it was a good idea but after seeing competition cooks separate the point from the flat, I decided it would be worth my time to learn how to cook the cuts separately...

    First Pulled Pork on the Traeger Pro 575

    We get good ribs, but you have to look for them. I had some baby back ribs from Costco recently and they were lacking meat, so it's likely that I'll get good cuts from local butchers instead. Baby backs are more popular, for sure as whole racks of spare ribs tend to get cut up into individual...

    First Pulled Pork on the Traeger Pro 575

    Man I'm sorry! :emoji_laughing: I'm still chasing great American barbecue and I guess I struggle more with other things than I did with pulled pork so want to 'conquer' those mountains next! I can't say I've ever been lucky enough to try proper pulled pork before, but I will visit the States one...

    First Pulled Pork on the Traeger Pro 575

    Yeah, first ever! People were right though - pork shoulder can really take a 'beating' when it comes to BBQ. It's a good beginner dish to do, but now I've done it I'm gonna move onto bigger and better things!

    First Pulled Pork on the Traeger Pro 575

    Hi all, I'll preface this by saying that I had a huge amount of help from the SMF community when I posted about my plan on how to cook pulled pork. Thanks to the great feedback, my plan changed slightly and I was able to nail this cook. Prep I did my pre the night before. I removed almost...

    New Guy from Colorado

    Hello from across the pond in the UK! Sounds like we're in a similar boat - I'm just starting off myself but have recently finished Aaron Franklin's book and it's fantastic. Very tempted to get the Masterclass too but it's a little pricey for me at the moment. Looking forward to seeing what...

    Controlling smoke is quite an easy thing to do so you may just want to use less chips or use bigger blocks that will give off less smoke due to them burning longer.

    What makes a good BBQ video?

    Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for all the feedback again. I uploaded a few videos recently with the feedback in mind- I think I need to ensure that I'm not trying to hard to be informative as it's important for people to know that I'm still new. :) Even still, I tried to limit the...

    First time cooking pulled pork - does this sound right?

    Apologies! By "huge" I meant 11lbs - not sure if that's considered huge for you guys but in the UK that's a pretty big hunk of meat! I seem to be hearing advice about cooking slightly hotter so may end up at 250°F if I'm running it during the day, or stick to 225°F if I run it overnight. I'll...

    Sponsored Giveaway for Inkbird ICT-2P LCD -Display BBQ Thermometer with 2 Probes for Oven Smoker Grilling

    Looks like a good thermometer. I don't have any of me grilling, but I was quite happy about how big this brisket was compared to my face - this was taken very early in the morning! :emoji_laughing: I'm from the UK!

    First time cooking pulled pork - does this sound right?

    Just had a read - it seems like I might not need to check it until at least past 200°F then!

    First time cooking pulled pork - does this sound right?

    Noted - I'll stick to the apple juice or just water and rub! To be honest, the temperature was to ensure that it got as much smoke as it can. And it also means that I can let it run overnight... :) I want to do American BBQ justice though and make a wicked tray of pulled pork...

    First time cooking pulled pork - does this sound right?

    Hi all, This weekend, I'll be cooking a huge bone-in pork shoulder that I got from a butcher friend in the south of the UK. I've wanted to try pulled pork for a while and I've done some research on the topic and have come up with my 'instructions' of what to do on the day - and I wanted some...

    First 'Proper' Smoker Incoming (Traeger 575 Pro)

    Thanks - already desperate to do another! Ah, you guys have got it good! The cheapest I can find them over here in the UK is £16.91 from a store that's local to me. They did give me a 5% off voucher however so I may have to stockpile them one day. :)
