Last year it was 44c (112F) on Christmas day for us, made it hot & hard work doing BBQ using a Stick Burner, I was soo tired Christmas day, so I have made a plan this year to make it easier and more enjoyable. Most meats will be cold except the Chicken & Turkey.
What do you guys normally BBQ for Christmas?
My Main Menu Meats Smoking these on 22nd Dec:
Home made Leg Ham (3.5KG Boneless)
Corned Beef - Bought
Pastrami - Bought Corned Beef.
Pork Tenderloins (3)
Smoking these on 25th Dec.
Turkey Breast Roll - 2KG
Spatchcock Chickens. (Pops brine - no cure)
BBQ Plan: I will Skin and throw the Pork Leg in Pops brine for around 4 weeks ( 22nd Nov until 22nd DEC), smoke it on the 22nd Dec, Pork Fillets in Dry Brine for about 14-16 days (9th December) (Smoke on 22 Dec).
22nd Dec - I will smoke the Pork leg, corned beef, pastrami and Pork Fillets , normally takes about 8-10 hours @ 180F.
Christmas day - I will put the chickens, turkey breast and salted Potatoes in the Smoker @ 375F they should take about 3 hours.
My wife will be doing her normal Salads, to hot for Vegetables :)
Christmas to us is being around Family & Friends, enjoying some great food and being thankful for what we have.
