    2nd Smoke w/ Q-View! Brisket, Potatoes and Eggs

    Yeah OK. I'm always a bit of a control freak, so I put the probe in early :/ Will wait next time though, for sure. This baby has taken almost 7 hours so far, so I guess I can wait a while before probing next time! 192 and climbing very slowly.

    Hello fellow UK smokers - introducing myself!

    Love the idea of cheese and salami! My girlfriend did ask when we would buy a massive pork belly and make bacon. I said I need a bit more time! Haha!!! Sadly she doesn't get on with seafood at all, so fish is out of the picture :( Anyway, the future looks bright indeed.

    OK cool. Checked the tent availability for that weekend and most of the pitches are available!? Would have thought it would be mostly booked up by now, especially being the summer hols.

    2nd Smoke w/ Q-View! Brisket, Potatoes and Eggs

    Okay will do. 17:00 - 6 hr 30 Meat 187 - almost there! Smoker 227 - slowly dying now. Coals look only about half spent so will shake away some ash shortly. Did start with the whole bottom filled because I wanted to avoid it dying after 4 hours again like last time!

    2nd Smoke w/ Q-View! Brisket, Potatoes and Eggs

    Yeah I just started with that little piece this time to see what it would be like. The full brisket was about £23 in Tesco! Not too cheap, and only me and my girlfriend would eat it anyway. Not sure how well it freezes!

    2nd Smoke w/ Q-View! Brisket, Potatoes and Eggs

    Unless one of you can convince me otherwise, I decided to skip the eggs for today - read up about smoking them online and apparently they are extremely hard to get right. To little time and they are crap obviously, too long and they are just rubber. A lot say the smoke taste doesn't go in even?

    Looks great! That bacon weave is impressive.

    2nd Smoke w/ Q-View! Brisket, Potatoes and Eggs

    Yes the temperature is fairly hard to get right. It is just the second smoke in my WSM and apparently they are a bit wild for the first 5 or so. Currently foiled just because it was around the "danger zone" for almost 5 hours. Obviously it's an American invention but hey, I thought I'd give it...
