    This weekends smoking...

    Yep it's a busy weekend. There are upwards of 30/40 hot food stalls and countless other stalls selling produce too. Hopefully the weather holds out! These briskets are massive, much larger and much nicer looking meat than any UK animal I have encountered. Hopefully it'll smoke well. The pork...

    Whole pig cooking

    In the end my worries about under catering were completely unfounded as at its peak there were maybe 60-65 people present despite being asked to cater for 130. Luckily we were already paid based on the 130 figure! They sure had a lot of leftovers!!

    Whole pig cooking

    Will let you all know how I get on. What I really don't want to happen is to end up with it taking too long and also really don't want to run out either but hopefully neither will happen! Maverick Et732 arrived today along with a big injector for a brine mix into the legs and shoulders...

    First attempt at ribs tomorrow

    I had a couple of boxes of belvedere loin ribs the other weekend - one box absolutely fine, de-membraned and 3-2-1'd them and they flew out. The second box followed the same procedure but they were still tough as a bugger after 3-2-1. Found that they had a second membrane that came off after...

    A busy weekend ahead of us

    i Yep they all fit in just, could have probably squeezed another couple of shoulders in but that would have then been capacity. Got a wedding in September where they want a whole hog so the top shelf will come out and the pig will go racer style on the bottom shelf. Looking forward to that.

    A busy weekend ahead of us

    Went through 24/25 racks of ribs, 6 whole brisket (5-6kg each) and 4 whole shoulders (~12-14kg each). At the end of Saturday I had to do an emergency meat shop and bought another 12kg boneless shoulder to smoke overnight ready for the Sunday. If I hadn't of done that we would have been out even...

    A busy weekend ahead of us

    Cheers Danny! Yeah tell me about it, thank god I checked the hose first before it did go bad in a big way. A great morale booster to have a TV chef enjoy our food and definitely proved the business is a viable one! The brisket was cooked to 185f internal then tightly wrapped in foil then cling...

    A busy weekend ahead of us

    Cheers Gav. Served somewhere in the region of 350 heads over the 2 days so think we definitely deserved a few beers at the end!
