    buying meat online

    Has anyone tried any of the online meat vendors in the UK? I've done a few smokes now and the meat from the butchers I've tried have a been a bit hit and miss (I can't find decent baby back ribs for starters!). Thinking about trying one of the online ones, a few google searches brought these up...

    Doing my first smoke this weekend

    Pretty happy at my first crack at this. The meat came out fantastic, and was well received by everyone that tried it. Had an epic stall at 160 degrees, stayed there for 4-5 hours before I finally decided to crank the heat up from 225-250 (temps in Fahrenheit sorry) where I had it, to 280...

    Doing my first smoke this weekend

    Not sure this is new-thread worthy but I'm quite excited about it! Going to do my first boston butt this weekend. Reading around it sounds like pork is a good meat to start with as it's less heat sensitive. Desperate to try some beef short ribs and brisket but I will demonstrate some patience...

    Where to buy 'A' style clip for temperature probe?

    Picking mine up tomorrow! [update] Yep, looks the same as yours and has the clip. Saves me trying to find one :)

    Where to buy 'A' style clip for temperature probe?

    How long do you expect these probes to last? You can never guess the longevity of some of these companies so I'm wondering if it's worth picking up a few spares to keep in the cupboard just in case they go under!

    Where to buy 'A' style clip for temperature probe?

    oh sweet! It's not listed as being in the package, nor is it pictured in any of the product photos. I'll hold fire and see if it's included with mine too! Cheers

    Where to buy 'A' style clip for temperature probe?

    I just bought a two probe thermometer (the inkbird, thanks for the suggestion @Wade) and I'll need to find a clip like this too. Doesn't look like there are any Amazon or Ebay sellers so I might have to pick up one of those ETI ones as well. Almost looks like you could make one with an old meter...

    Callow Smoker Review

    Wow, thanks so much for the comprehensive response Wade. I'm based in SW London. Bound to annoy my in-close-proximity neighbors who are trying to dry their washing outside in the weekends! I think you have sold me on a Weber, I didn't realise such long cooks were possible with one. I've created...

    Callow Smoker Review

    Thanks for that Wade. I did notice the Weber stuff has a great following - always tonnes of tutorial videos on youtube. Is it fair to say that in order to smoke food on a Weber Kettle you'd need either to buy a slow n sear (or similar) or DIY bricks and foil in order to create the two zone for...

    Callow Smoker Review

    Is there a better entry bang for buck smoker than the Callow? I'm new around here but have lurked for a wee while. I'd like to dip my toes into smoking meat, without the ~£300 investment of a Weber so this one takes my interest.
