welcome!

yes a few of us have the GMG DB so let us know i8f you need any info

It wasn't huge I would say the waste was about 2.5 to 3 KG mainly the curved bone from the breast plate making it net about £4.90 per KG. I have pictures of the whole piece and how it was trimmed but its a ball ache to post them on here (You can see them on Smoking Meat Forums @ "North East Butcher ...

Here's a little secret!!!!!

Your butcher only pays £3.00 per KG for on the bone brisket which are about 16KG in gross weight, about the same price. Offer him £4.00 KG and cut and trim yourself. Mine does it for £65.00 to £70,00 cut and trimmed as it only takes him 10 minutes

Hi

You can get food safe high temp silicone but you would never be able to make a paste out of it to spread anywhere as the ash would form a film over the silicone and it wouldn't stick. But I'm with PDC7, I wouldn't eat anything off it regardless. Its high temp not flame proof so goodness knows ...

Hi John,

I have a GMG DB and just done some Ribs last night.

Trick its to keep it simple at first. Take off the membrane from the rib bones and if not trimmed trim to shape, trim up or you will struggle to get more than 2 in your GMC.

Basic rub used based on-line recipe or Asda sells Reds BBQ ...

Brilliant Wade

Sorry mate if you lived local to me then I would have took you.

But I have been in touch with a company down your neck of the woods called Meatmaster Cash & Carry @ The Covered Market in Oxford Tel: 01865 726944 which is 13miles away from you and they do full bone in shoulders for £2.45 per kilo

I would check the hygiene cert rules with wade on here as he is the dogs bollock on info like this
Nowt wrong with a Asda I'm curing the pork loin for bacon at the moment most of our pork is coming from Belgium or Germany so it's pretty much of a muchness.
I can get whole pig at 1.50 per kilo you ...

Hi

Just a little tip I picked up at the BBQ champs in KC......................
for those of you struggling with lighting your charcoal try using Pringles or other, yes crisps! the oil in them burns very well and will light any stubborn briquette

Hi
Yep I think your butt pricing is a bit out of sync. You should be able to get Pork shoulder for less than £3.00 per kilo, I know I do, even ASDA is only £2.97KG. Bookers do 10KG boxes for £25 or £26.00
4 Kilos of meat with 25% loss = 3KG. Sarnie with 200gms meat each = 15 x £6.00 = £90 less ...
