    First smoke on my new Weber!

    Apologies Homeruk, only just saw your post. Ribs were from Tesco, cost around a fiver per rack. Done a couple more racks since and they're consistently decent. Do need to get to a proper butcher's for the next lot though, to see what the difference in quality is.

    First smoke on my new Weber!

    Not a bad final product. Very, very tasty! Only criticism I have is the meat doesn't quite come cleanly away from the bone. Is this indicative of needing slightly higher temperatures? Served with homemade BBQ beans and coleslaw. Definitely beats a takeaway.

    ... 1 hour in and the ribs are looking decent so far. The Weber is proving excellent, it's easy to maintain temperature, I'm just using one of the charcoal baskets loaded with lumpwood and a couple of hickory chunks plus a water pan and maintaining around 235F fairly consistently. The advice...

    100% new to smoking! Trying to decide which cheapish smoker to buy...

    Thanks all. I did consider building a UDS, but to do a decent job using decent materials would end up costing well over £100, and then I'd have to spend a day or 2 building it. For my first foray into smoking I'd rather buy something ready-made which I know will work - that way, the first free...

    100% new to smoking! Trying to decide which cheapish smoker to buy...

    Hi all. I'm trying to make my mind up as to what type of smoker to buy, for my first foray into "low and slow" smoking. I've dabbled with the technique and recipe using the domestic oven, and produced some pretty tasty ribs, but of course they didn't have that marvellous smoky flavour. Have...
