Olaf 3317 Report post Posted January 25, 2019 you guys doing some slow cool smoking, then? I'm just on gas, where I live charcoal needs more committment with the wind. I use smoker boxes with cabernet or shiraz-soaked wood chips, and ceramic flame-tamers to help with the smoking beneath the hood. Mine's an old BBQ factory full-stainless 4 burner that I restored, souped-up with enamelled grilles and the flame-tamers. It works well, and saved me spending a couple of grand that I didn't have to spare. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice one 1 hour ago, M3AN said: Family Q + Longines + Tissot + Casio (dive watch) Q's are great - I prefer cooking on charcoal for the heat and flavour but nothing beats the Q for a few steaks or sausies in a hurry! 47 minutes ago, Olaf said: you guys doing some slow cool smoking, then? I'm just on gas, where I live charcoal needs more committment with the wind. Bit of low and slow, bit of super hot sear, and some in the middle. And yeh wind can be a challenge with some charcoal cookers, but for smoking an insulated chamber smoker will fix a lot of that. My Chubby (above) will go fine even in a howling gale. 3 hours ago, sobanoodle said: Share some pics!

Now I feel inadequate. Mate, that's the cool thing about watch collecting, it's like this group - doesn't matter whether you've got a brand new solid gold Rolex or a $50 Seiko 5, what matters is that you're having fun It's like with anything, the more you get into a hobby the more expensive it gets, and watches are the worst. You start thinking spending $2000 on a watch is an 'impulse buy' and $5000 is 'affordable' - don't go down the rabbit hole! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ BMW 368 Report post Posted January 25, 2019 I like my Omegas but my Speedy is due for a service. I have a broilking but it’s too insufficient to post here! My other passion is collecting vintage Gillette safety razors, which I use with a brush and soap every day... don’t knock it till you’ve tried it!

Big fan of the beef short rib now.

Honestly, a $250 Weber Premium from the likes of Container Door will cook just as well and is better to learn on as it forces you to learn temperature control, the benefits of a water pan, snake and minion methods, etc. Eggs are brilliant (I’ve owned 2 BGE’s and a Kamado Joe) but they are so controlled that you can actually be a bit lazy. Think about it this way - jumping straight to an Egg is like learning to drive in an automatic instead of a manual. Sure, it gets the job done, but you’re stuffed if you ever have to use something without it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ran the same set up recently with gas and a smoker box to do ribs etc. but decided to try charcoal. Many thanks! It was done with a rub, a bit of olive oil over it, and slow-ish cooked at around 110c and constantly smoked with the smoke boxes. My killer piece of equipment is a digital meat thermometer, to measure internal temp of the meat. No guess-work! I've just bought Bear Paws, make shredding meat easier. Who wants to pull their err pork with forks, when they can use Bear Paws? ? And yes, subtle flash of my trusty Tag Heuer 2000, my wife bought for me in '96. I've challenged myself to be able to do beef short ribs. I don't know where to start. I know I'll need a rib rack. What's the story - anyone have a recommended approach for Gas?

What's the story - anyone have a recommended approach for Gas? Can’t really comment on the gas bit, but you won’t need a rib rack for short ribs, they’re a pile larger than pork ribs so just elevate them on a wire cake rack or the like. The challenge will be keeping the temperature low and consistent enough for long enough and/or getting smoke over a long period. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
