    Gordon Ramsey has a new book...

    Yes, it's on primetime in the evening here in the UK when it's on. I have the utmost respect for the guy, unfortunately i haven't had chance to eat at on of his restaurants YET, certainly in the F word he has challenged some boundaries but educated people on good food and ethical sourcing. Jon.

    Gordon Ramsey has a new book...

    Temper maybe but i do think they edit the shows to exaggerate it. He is at the top of his game and does not tolerate idiots, to even have the opportunity to work with the guy would be amazing, i think so many of the people he screams and shouts are are deserving most of the time. Many of the...

    Need to know the answer pretty quick.

    Bloody is no where near as offensive as the F word, in fact not very offensive at all. Cheeky Sod, a hard one to explain but used in retort to a comment but not normally offensive. Probably a bit like Smart ***. Jon.

    2nd Butt Q-View

    I honestly don't know why it took so long, seemed to have a couple of long plateau's. The last one didn't take anywhere near as long. Jon.

    2nd Butt Q-View

    Only a small one @ 4.5LB but it took 12 hours... Rubbed with Kansas City Rub and then into the fridge for 18 hours. Sprayed with Captain Morgan & Apple Juice. Turned out great. Jon.

    Help please

    Theromoeters are accurate, however i think the new fuel may be the issue re ash. Have just foiled @ 160 and hoping for the rise. I was planning to pull @ 205 is that OK ot can i remove it to rest earlier? Thanks for all the advice! :) Jon.

    Help please

    Hi all, I have had a butt (4.5lb) on the smoker since 14:20 at a fairly constant 225, it's now been on for 7 hours and still at 153 and not moving, it seems to have stalled since 146 and risen slowly, 2 hours plus. I know the oven is frowned upon but any suggestions, the only other option i...

    First Pulled Pork

    I agree, i have one that has been sat at 149 for about half an hour. Once it starts rising again it should move upwards quite steadily. Good luck :) It will be worth the wait. Jon.
