Mutton was nice but way to much fat , we got enough for dinner for two and the rest for two pies tonight .Veges were all good . I don't think I'd bother with mutton again , stick to lamb .

Looks like some tasty meals there. Mutton is nice enough but these days I think we'd all find it a bit fatty. I never did smoke my turkey but I killed another 5 today so maybe I'll try it

Got pork belly,brisket(fat to be trimmed),chicken legs soaking in texas style bbq mix,sunday cook 12hrs and mop every 1.5hrs. Judging by the sauce flavour now it should be spicey.Might some magic dust later,served with sliced greens on a periperi rice bed

I was watching bobby flay bbq on tv this morning, he was cooking using a China box. Looked to work well and would be easy to setup.

Started out a dish for work but Family ate 1/2 and the rest for fishing lunch Sunday. Decided not to use a smokey type coal but went with a heat type(webbers) yeah/nah bugger to light so added a bit of my normal to get it going,was 2 x 3 kg pieces now luckey to 2kg left.Fat buggers.


very very tender 10hr cook and mopped every 1hr and turn every 1.5hrs,cooked for 8 hrs then wrapped in foil for 2 hrs.

I've been cooking on one for 2 years. Very simple to cook on. Turns out the best ribs, chicken and brisket I have ever ate. Pork loin too. I have been thinking of getting my SIL and BIL a pit barrel smoker for house warming present We both like the smoker from the Pit Barrel Cooker Co. Meathead at Amazing Ribs has given it the best value award. does anyone have any experience with this company and the products that are available on this page

Sorry can't help. Always use charcoal and then wood of choice. Anyone know where Rock Crusher got to ? Always liked his posts.

Fish I still like manuka on coals. Chicken and pizzas try few pekan blocks at end on the coals.  Beef we’ve cooked some nice stuff ( t- bones)  on coals  (after smoking fish) with manuka  but some would say could lead to bitterness and much better with pōhutukawa. I still have to try pekan with beef … but not sure regards taste it gives. Probably use as small blocks of pōhutukawa like we do with pekan blocks.
I’m no expert. But know few boys who cook beef and like the pōhutukawa at end with a lot of hot coals.

seems to me we have gone gren all heat no smoke,tried 3 different ones so far that claim,excellent for smoking,but so far heat only.

Have tried soaked manuka chips. But get a slight taint.

Last smoke one I got was from a local chinese shop and no longer stock it,only heat one.

Might have to resort to wood blocks as "shaneg" suggests
