BBQ Carnivore - Thread

Low and slow isn't that hard.
Heaps of YouTube videos to help you get started.
I'm happy to help also
I'd you want to try it out let me know what you want to cook and I'll guide you through it.

Once you get started, you will find it addictive

Thanks mate. In the next couple of weekends I'll give it a go and hit you up for some advice. Probably best to start off small with something like chicken breasts and gradually move onto the larger cuts of meat you reckon?

Made 3kg of lamb gyro on Sunday arvo. Didn't get any after pics as I was too excited to eat.

About 2.5 hours before the first slices then every 30 mins after that. Turned out great

Start with a brisket
Just a smallish one.

Start with lamb shoulder or pork ribs. Very hard to fuck it up. There's a few of us on here that bbq a fair bit if you need pointers.

Boys, we need to talk about gravy.

Best for pork and beef leftovers...

Pan juices, cracked pepper and Vegeta stock mixed in the gravy goes good.

Fck yeah - pork - shoulder or ribs. Ribs are a no brainer - have 4 racks on at the moment and have used them as an excuse for the missus to go do shit like walk dogs etc. as I need to keep watching smoker temp. Apart from removing membrane, mustard binder and 3 pigs rub - done fck all today except drink beer and wrap the ribs after 2 hours.

Just made bbq sauce baste - another 30 mins or so wrapped and then on with the baste for another hour.

Smoked lamb is great but the lamb soaks smoke like no tomorrow. Some don't like it. Pork shoulder - if your a fanatic for crackling - whether to crackle first or last is a time old question. Pork ribs or whole chooks are almost idiot proof (and if you brine the chook first - you will wonder why you ever bought store roasted chicken again).

You're not wrong about the lamb soaking smoke. Takes on a tonne of flavour but haven't found someone who doesn't like it yet

Guys I want to go to the next level and start smoking.

Any tips on a cheap, entry level smoker that will still do the job?

Get a Weber Smokey Mountain dude.

Nope. Leaks like a sieve and u overpay for the Weber brand (but admit the service if you buy from Weber direct is fckng amazing). By the time you u buy gaskets etc to sort out the leaking and the other guff to make life easier (like hinges etc.) - you are over a grand.

Does a job but for a grand - u can do better.

@ASSASSIN - whats the definition of cheap and how many people u mostly cooking for?

That's not my experience. First smoker was a 37 for under $400, after half a dozen cooks, any leaks were sealed.

You get what you pay for, obviously. But if @ASSASSIN budget isn't a grand then his choices are limited

Fair play - 37 is a bit small for me but if it works. Never owned one (and have a Genesis and a kettle as well so no shit on Weber) but that was the general webview. Was given one, bought gaskets etc for it and then went to put it together and was broken as fck. Got a refund so spent the money on a OK Joe barrel for an extra $150. Hinged, wheeled, can hang food in it. Cast iron and overall - stoked.

Just gets down to how many u cook for.
