    Hi Steve,                I assure you that I was not attacking you or anybody else in particular. I'd like to say I think what you did was very commendable. I am also guilty of slating the show even though I find it irresistible viewing. I suppose in a way that I could be seen as a hypocrite...

    We're now 4 episodes in to BBQ Champ and whilst it is everything I detest about TV Cooking Competition shows , I can't help myself and I feel compelled to catch up each week on itv player. My biggest gripe , like many others, would probably be with the format and particularly the judges and...

    What happens after "summer"?

    If you intend to cook on a GMG over the winter more than 4 or 5 times they will probably save you money.

    What happens after "summer"?

    The thermal jackets for the Green Mountain Grills work very well.They help to maintain a more even, consistent temperature with fewer spikes. As well as reducing cooking times they reduce the cost of cooking as less pellets are needed.

    I just tried to see how long it would take to cook full spares at 300F on the middle shelves of an FEC 100 and the first rack ready took 2hrs 23 mins. No crutch was used but flipped at 1hr 40. I reckon I could knock out baby backs in 1hr 45 though but I doubt there'll be much smoke on  'em.

    Hi Danny,               nice to hear from you. My question wasn't really ''is it good to smoke at 300 plus?'' but more ''is anybody else doing it?'' and ''how do you like the results?'' I've probably cooked at least 2 briskets every day for the last 5 years  , some as low as170 for 10 hours...

    Why is nobody using a Thermapen or some kind of meat thermometer? Should novices not know about such elementary procedures. How about fire management? I think I prefer draught assisted systems to control a fire more than spraying the fire with Guinness. Mark Blatchford seems like some kind of...
