Hello from kent

Postby danderv » 18 Apr 2012, 05:47

Well my name is dan and for the last couple of years i have had a gas billyoh bbq which has served a good purpose.After buying the weber bbq book however i was hankering for a smoker because i am sick of just burgers and sausages and want some proper smoked shoulder,ribs or brisket Mmmmmmmmm.Anyway i sold the gas and have bought a smokey joe for little jobs and his big brother the 57cm one touch premium,i did want a dedicated smoker but they are to much money so decide for the premium as it has the removable ash tray and the temp gauge for long smokes.I will hopefully pick up a few tips from here and get some lovely smokey food going over the next few weeks.

Welcome, those 2 will keep you happy for many years, the premium is worth the extra money all day long. You don't need a sunny day, everydays a BBQ day for us on here.

As for wood chunks I get mine from gouldens as not only does he offers many varieties, at a very good price, he is also a bloody nice bloke. http://bbqsmokingwood.co.uk/
I'm sure if you sort me out with the wongar before mayhem in May? I can get you what you need in sacks as he will be delivering to the competition.
I get my meat from a great little butchers in Ashford called marlows. He understand the term Boston butt and when I ask him for a brisket, they are a full piece and not rolled.
