I've started using a dipping gravy, rather than a sauce that works really well with slow cooked pork dishes, just put the gravy in a couple of gravy boats or small jugs, and people either pour it over there pork themselves or just dip there bun into it, Can be a little bit messy and sloppy, but...

Thanks for all the ideas, the cabbage one looks a very tasty one, and especially as a pulled pork accompaniment and is something I would like to try in the future, and not just for using as a vegetarian dish. Unfortunately the vegetarian is going to have to do with a ready made oven meal...

Any recipes for a tasty vegetable dish that can be done on a smoker or BBQ. Haven't got enough space to do a really big dish or long cook for a veggie dish (risk of contamination), so either needs to be a compact size in a dish/pan for the smoker as doing 10 racks of ribs in 2 rack holders and...

All looks lovely, how did you find the Temperature control during the cook?

This wet July and August can't continue much longer hopefully. There are meant to be signs of it warming up a bit towards late August/September according to the MetO, Hope you get as much enjoyment from your ProQ model as I do. Did you get the cold smoking set to go with it also?

I have been using the ProQ Frontier Elite this summer after upgrading my Brinkmann. Very happy with it, it is well sealed, keeps a decent temperature over the cook, if quality charcoal/beads are used. It has good air control vents on the bottom and 2 racks easily allow me to cook up to 8 ribs in...

I was in Morrisons yesterday getting a couple of racks of baby back ribs to smoke today and they had some pork cheeks next to them so picked a pack of 5 up for £2.00 I had never cooked them before so just used some of the rib rub on them and left them overnight. Put them on with the ribs and...

I was aware of Osso Buco as a crockpot casserole veal dish, but have noticed Waitrose sell it as a straight forward free range pork cut, quite cheap @ £4.99 a KG . I have smoked pork shanks before, but they have been brined and are really a gammon shank. Wonder if anybody has tried smoking this...

I have used Tesco's ribs and wasn't impressed tbh, too large and fatty. The best Supermarket ones I have bought and use regularly are Morrisons. They trim them really well but leave plenty of meat on them. Worth getting to know the lads behind the counter, and get the meat from out the back as...

Any recommendations and a recipe for a cider apple and vinegar type sauce to mix in the pulled pork. Normally do a madeira wine based sauce for it. But fancy trying something different for a pulled pork I am doing for a family gathering the weekend.  Going to be doing a dipping gravy if people...

No just sugars, salt, cure and honey. May look at the sodium ascorbate in the future. But initially happy with the outcome of the current mix and will probably look to just tweak that recipe, over the next few goes.

Never slow cooked and smoked  a beef joint of any description before. Surprised how moist it stayed. Whether that was because I sealed it first as I normally do with a sunday roast or low and slow retains the moisture anyway?, I don't know. But it was genuinely the most tender cut of meat I have...

Ordered the foldable handle one, for ease of storage. Amazing how many extras, rib racks, chicken stands, pizza stones, dust and wood etc you collect, it all mounts up for storage. 

Thanks for all your help and tips homeruk. One final one. Is this the sort of pizza paddle I am looking for? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pizza-Peel-Bakers-Oven-Restaurant-Paddle-Wooden-Handle-66cm-26-Overall-/112019592409?hash=item1a14e354d9:g:AE0AAOSwIQdZEcF0#rwid  for my needs.

I cooked a 42 oz Tomahawk steak (including bone) for the first time on my smoker yesterday (it was part of a fathers day promotion at Morrisons) I did a salt and pepper seasoning rather than a rub for a change and sealed it in a frying pan first before putting it on the smoker. I cooked it at...

First off the pizzas turned out very edible and definitely something I will do again. Lessons learned. Buy a Pizza Paddle don't add basil at the start if cooking a pizza for more than 2-3 minutes Ended up setting the proq up with the base, one stack and the lid,  Put the pizza stone in at the...

The photo makes them a little lighter in colour than they actually are. The bottom one is the version with honey. I personally thought the 50/50 split of muscavado sugar and light brown cane sugar worked well together, much better than my previous all light brown sugar attempts, for the sugar...

Not sure that temperature will be achievable for me, but will give it ago. No heat deflector setup with the proq so it will be trial and error. Will add a stack to the base with the lid. I may try sitting the stone over the dry waterpan foiled also?

Quick update, they both turned out really well. I thought the honey one turned out closer to a sweetcure flavour than the straight sugar. It is slightly on the overly sweet side (which I like) but will probably try and tone it down slightly for my wife next time. But the flavour is definitely...
