    New to smoking / Callow mods

    I have been using weber briquettes exclusively for a couple of years now, I think I'll try heat beads when my current stocks run out though. I keep my smoker about 2 feet from my garden fence and 6 feet from the house, so a good majority of the time it's wind sheltered and in shade. Hadn't...

    Digital thermometers

    Is there a thermometer widely available which can connect to WiFi and be used in conjunction with an app on Android or iOS? I find it annoying sometimes having to carry my chunky thermometer receiver around with me during a long cook if I'm busy with other things around the house, and it would...

    New to smoking / Callow mods

    Interesting stuff Wade. I find I keep drilling a few more holes in my charcoal basket (v1) before each cook and I'm finally able to get it as hot as I like and need to cool things down using the vents (top and bottom). Still using water, must go and buy some playpit sand soon! I think I have...

    An Idiot’s Intro

    Paul, that Pork looks great! Chuffed that you've overcome the issues and managed a good cook, you certainly did start on hard mode with Brisket and keeping your top vent closed! I know all too well the frustrating feeling of temperature control not working out though, we all learn something new...

    Cuts of Meat

    You shouldn't always take your butcher's advice. I went to a butcher local to my place of work yesterday to get some beef short ribs to barbecue, and he brought me out some very lean ones with little meat. I had to ask if he had any more meaty ones, and luckily he did. They are sat at 186F on my...

    New to smoking / Callow mods

    Hi Ed. Interesting post. I'm halfway through my second smoke on the callow. It's my first real long cook, the first I did a leg of lamb and a duck, so didn't need long, but these beef ribs are taking their time. Currently at 165F after 5 hours, having only been able to achieve 205-210F in my...

    Beef Ribs

    Hey Randy. Prepped ribs look good, shame about the choice of beer though! how did they turn out? Did you separate them before cooking? Doing my first beef ribs today, just broken through the stall at 160F

    UK brand name Selection

    I bought a Landmann barrel style BBQ a year and a bit ago for £120. I've had some great cooks with it, and can't complain too much, but if I could go back then I really would spend a little more and get the best Weber kettle I could. The Landmann does seem durable for the meantime, but the...

    Callow Smoker Review

    Hi Wade. This is a fantastic review, thanks for your efforts. I was wondering if you had any further updates since your last post? Has the performance of the smoker continued to impress? What is the rust situation like, has it got worse? How has Callow's CS been since? Many thanks
