    First time fatty.. Am excited.. On the roll

    And we're done and finished.. So temp probe started playing up so no idea of finished temp but it was done well... Sides are a simple potato and cheese bake, and my wife's new favourite, apple slaw.. Was brilliant.. A hit all round. The pellets make a nice smoke.. Learning slowly. Cheers...

    First time fatty.. Am excited.. On the roll

    Thanks. I actually was a bit disappointed with the weave as the bacon was really short. So that's 2 lengths long.. By one wide.. Unsure on that series. Will investigate

    First time fatty.. Am excited.. On the roll

    So I'm branching out. After seeing Grits fatty I had to make one. The plan was for the Cordon Bleu but in the end we settled on a chicken with spinach, feta and sundried tomatoes..
