    Butterflied leg

    Turned out really good, the battery was dead in my thermometer but I winged it and still managed to get it med rare. I had an American friend over earlier in the year and as well as bagging two trophy deer he also caught me a huge pile of mackerel (sea fish) that cook really well over the fire.

    Butterflied leg

    No need to wait for an invite, I'll get another one on the go for whenever you can make it. I honestly prefer this way of cooking lamb, really hot searing on the outside and still pink on the inside

    Butterflied leg

    I have friends over for Easter, lamb is a very traditional meal in the UK ate Easter time. I'm going to cook it over a wood fire rather than smoke it. I dropped a minor bollock when I butterflied it as it was still a little frozen in the middle and didn't cut as forgivengly as if it was thawed...

    Smoking Saturday for Easter Sunday?

    I'd agree on smoked lamb, but roast lamb with gravy HAS to be accompanied with mint sauce!!!

    First time lamb in the smoker

    We we planning to have a traditional roast lamb Sunday dinner at the weekend, however the element in our electric oven packed in so we had sausages instead! I digress... The defrosted piece of lamb went into the smoker yesterday with hickory chips, it tastes really good, not quite as succulent...

    I took the skin off a pork picnic shoulder, what do I do with it?

    Sorry you had a bad experience with your cracklings Richard. When I make them it's hot and fast that seems to do the trick. Traditionally here in the uk, salt is the main seasoning so a heavily salted rub would work best. No boiling needed, cut the skin into strips, salt the skin side, put in...

    Len Poli Buckboard Bacon Recipe

    Thanks for taking the time to reply chaps. I did wonder if it was a typo, but most of his recipes seem to be quite thorough. I've eaten it with cure#2 and survived but will probably try it with #1 when I make it. I'm now going to look up Tasso, as I have never heard of it.... Thanks again

    Len Poli Buckboard Bacon Recipe

    Folks, I have a question about this recipe from Len Poli's curing site. http://lpoli.50webs.com/index_files/Bacon-buckboard.pdf An American friend of mine sent me the link some time back, I was curious about the use of Cure#2 in a Product that would be cooked as my understanding has always...

    Cold smoking inside a cardboard box

    I've cold smoked (with a generator similar to an amnps) salmon (lox?) and bacon in a cardboard box when I was inbetween smokers and it's absolutely fine, no off flavours or concerns whatsoever. I've done it several times and always had good results.

    Bacon types

    Hi, traditionally, and in my house, the fat cap would be left on. We also have middle bacon which is half way between the loin and the belly and that usually has the fat cap and the skin left on. If you cook it right the skin crisps and puffs up beautifully.

    Bacon types

    In the UK we make what we call back bacon from the pork loin - which is the joint we would get pork chops from. I know there are some differences in names of cut from one side of the Atlantic to the other so here's a picture of the cut I mean. It makes very good bacon.

    Electric Smoker Supplers/Shops in Washington DC

    Hi smoking13, thanks for your reply. He's after something along the lines of the masterbuilt cabinets. Past experience of ordering over the Internet for shipping to the uk leads itself to quite a lot of expense and import duties etc, hence the wish to buy direct and bring it back

    Fat Chops

    I'd look forward to seeing the next ones too! I notice that the chops I've seen in the US tend to have the skin and fat trimmed off. Here in the uk it's left on, the crisped up skin on a pork chop is a thing of beauty and well worth a try

    Electric Smoker Supplers/Shops in Washington DC

    Chaps, I'm after a little local knowledge if possible, a colleague of mine is going to be working in Washington DC for a few weeks. He'd like an electric smoker to bring/ship back to the UK as choices are very limited over here and costs are substantially higher. Could anyone advise of any...

    12lbs of Smoked, dry rubbed bacon!!!

    That looks superb. You can't beat making your own bacon, once you realise how easy it is to mix your own cure and tweak it
