Welcome back Danny. It is really good to see you posting again :)
Last weekend Paul (TheNegativeOne) cooked two ducks on Webers - one an indirect spatchcock and the other on a rotisserie. Both came out with good skin. They were not what I would call crisp though due to the fatty nature of the...

UDS's are fun to build and you see them regularly at the UK competition BBQ events. There are a few places in the UK that will supple the parts and many can be sourced...
Hi Dean and welcome to the forum - there are a few of us from the UK who chat on here. What type of smokers have you been using and what have you been smoking?

Hi Ice and welcome to the forum. There are a few of us from the UK who chat on here. There is also as smokers meet at Billing Aquadrome on the 20-22nd July that may interest you.
Yes there are some challenges with the Brinkmann but the mods you have been reading will help. The biggest challenge...
If you look on the Uuni forum you will see that many are using standard heating pellets - which will contain pine. I have tried the Uuni with a number of different hardwood pellets and, once it is up to temperature, the type of pellets makes little difference. I have also tried it using pine...
Hi Nate and welcome to the forum.
I have cooked on both the WSM ans ProQ and, although they both cook very well, the ProQ is my choice too as it makes getting to the bottom rack much more convenient. I am sure that we will see a lot of good food coming from yours :-)
Hi Ed
The long consistent slow burns can be affected by several factors.
Fuel - Make sure that you are using a good quality long lasting fuel as your base. For the low and slow cooks I find that Heat Beads or Weber Briquettes are best. You can add your flavouring woods/pellets on the top - but...

I am not sure where in Wiltshire you are but this weekend...
Great fatty - well done. The first of many I am sure :-)
A couple off suggestions for the next one...
Make the pork and beef layers a little thinner and combine them with a layer of flattened chicken breast between them. Some herbs, seasoning and a little garlic powder between the layers and...
Good tutorial Chris
The only thing that I do differently is that before wrapping the weave around the meat i sandwich it in plastic film (e.g. put another layer on the top) and then flatten it with a rolling pin. This helps to bind the bacon weave together, fills in any small holes between the...
It seems daunting until you have tried it... then you wonder what all the worry was about :-)
The smoked Haddock that you are referring to would be cold smoked and the Mackerel would usually be hot smoked. For the cold smoking you need to be able to get a good air/smoke flow through your smoker...
Providing you spread the Prague powder evenly over the meat and then mixed all of the meat well before stuffing the skins you should be OK. Did the meat mixture look a uniform colour and texture after you had added the spices, Prague powder and then mixed it?
