    DIY Wireless thermometer AKA Alfred

    I discovered a cunning smart phone app that allows me to monitor the temperatures in my BBQ from my bed whilst doing overnight cooks.  The app is called Alfred and runs on Android and iOS and essentially it is a home security camera system where you use an old phone as a camera and you can...

    Makro/Booker Pork Collars

    Has any one used the Makro/Booker frozen boneless pork collars? Are they any good and what sort of size are they, I'm hoping to get them into an undercounter freezer so aren't going to fit if they are still in the box. Also what did you cook with them? Ta

    Salmon Question

    Does anyone know how much waste there is on a whole salmon? I have been thinking about cold smoking some, Makro last time I was in there was selling whole salmon at £6.99/kg and salmon sides at £12.99/kg. Any idea which would be better value for money? Also I've never filleted a fish before...

    Ridiculously cheap Infrared Thermometer on Amazon.co.uk

    I have just come across a -50 - 550ºC infrared thermometer on Amazon.co.uk for £1.74 including postage. I have no idea if this is legit or not, and I'm not in the market for another thermometer so I won't be ordering one. If anyone is interested, here is the link Piers

    Pellets

    I'm thinking about getting a Uuni 2S pizza oven which runs on hardwood pellets. From what I can tell it gets through them at quite a rate, so I'm trying to source bags of 10kg or more. I know some of you use GMG Grills and A-maze-n smokers so I was wondering where you guys get your wood pellets...

    What's a good cut of beef to smoke?

    Any suggestions for a cut of beef that's easily available in the UK (not brisket) that would be good for low and slow smoking? Thanks Piers

    First Ever Brisket

    I realised some time ago that I wouldn't be sourcing myself a packer cut brisket any time soon, so as rolled brisket was on offer the last time I went to Makro, I decided to get myself a piece. I (kind of) followed the brisket recipe from the Big Bob Gibson book, of a wet rub of Worcester Sauce...

    Hybrid Soldering Iron/Venturi Cold Smoke Generator

    Free to a good home

    I've got small Landmann Offset smoker I don't want and I thought I'd offer it here before giving it away on Freecycle. If you can collect it from the borough of Greenwich in London, it's yours. It's not very great quality the steel is very thin. I modified it to work (slightly) better doing...
