British BBQ Society Forums

Good afternoon everyone. Just a quick introduction. I'm John, from Nottingham - as mosr of you probably guessed from the thread title

I've been smoking low and slow on my Pro Q Excel for over a year now, mainly as a hobby, but I'm interested in expanding my knowledge of smoking commercially to expand the repertoire of my hog roast business, which specialises in whole-hog pulled pork from free-range, heritage breed pigs.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Cheers,
John

Hi Sam,

I use Spitting Pig ovens for the whole hogs, they aren't designed for smoking, but I turn the output down really low, and use wood dust in a Pro Q cold smoker to add a little hint of smoke. I'll cook them like that for up to 24 hours and the meat just falls off the bones.

Very nice! Do you use the artisan pro Q?

I smoke 'proper' bbq in a Pro Q Excel, but for adding a little smokeyness to the hogs, I use the Pro Q Cold Smoke Generator.

Sorry, crossed wires. The artisan pro Q is a larger version of their original cold smoke generator.
