    WSM 18inch on its way!

    Just ordered my first smoker - the 18inch WSM, and I'm quite excited to be honest :) Due to arrive on monday. I've read that these units need a few burns to get the temp to stabilise? One thing I'm unsure of, is how long will a full load of wood smoke for? For example, I'm looking forward to...

    The New "BBQ" Restaurant

    Well, to put the thread kinda back on track, I took a trip to Brighton today with one of my objectives being to check out one of the two eateries mentioned earlier in the thread. I went with a friend to Smokeys on the sea front, where I had smoked brisket chips n slaw to eat. I have wanted to...

    Kosher salt

    Thanks Danny and Foamheart. my problem Foamheart is that the closest Jewish grocery to me would be in London(30 + miles away) - not a journey I want to make for a bag of salt as I'm sure you can imagine :) I have however ordered some from an ebay seller, just to give it a try. I also...

    Kosher salt

    Kosher salt is just one of the things I had not heard of before starting to study smoking meats, brines and rubs. Whilst I have found a couple of sources of kosher salt in the UK, it isn't generally available on supermarket shelves, and I was interested to hear what others are using? Do use...

    Smoked Chicken Legs and Lamb steaks

    Thanks Danny and Darwin - I have to say I found the IT theremometer invaluable having only read up about lab steaks a few hours before smoking. This has only made me more hungry to try out more ideas. Need to work on rubs :) In a way, using the weber Q 2000(older version) grill is good as it...

    Smoked Chicken Legs and Lamb steaks

    What a day! The lamb steaks: After some experimenting last week with a thinnish sirloin steak going dry after an hour of smoking(no IT thermometer), I decided to give the lamb steaks 1/2 hour on the edge of the hot charcoal, using some applewood I cut 2-3 days earlier. For no reason other than...

    Hello from Guildford

    Thanks for that Graeme - I keep an eye on it. I have some friends in North Norfolk, so I could give them a surprise visit if I won it! Lots of interest and reserve not met yet.....

    Smoked sirloin steaks???

    Last week was my first ever smoking experience. It involved a sirloin steak and some hickory sawdust, and a weber gas bbq. No brine, no rub, I just wanted to taste smoked sirloin! After the charcoal was white ash and hot, I moved it to the left side, and I put a metal tin containing the...

    Hello from Guildford

    Hi Wade, I tried replying to this last night but admin stole my reply lol Thanks for the info - I'm leaning heavily towards the WRM 18inch, or maybe something secondhand. Thanks for the heads-up on the Maverick thermometers - anything specific? Andy.

    The New "BBQ" Restaurant

    I also got burnt in May lol, and was there only on Sun/Mon :) I think the wind made it feel cooler. September sunday only was dry/sunny except for a short patch of light rain. I'm based in West Clandon, which is 4 miles east of Guildford, just south of the A3.

    The New "BBQ" Restaurant

    I spent a lot of time at Santa Pod during the mid 80's, drifted away, then visited twice last year for the euro nationals in May and September. I was pleasantly surprised by the upgrades - from new tarmac, decent wc's and something other than kebabs and burgers to eat! They even have a van...
