Re: Taking The Plunge

Ah the joys of cooking. Having to have new oven and grill installed and electrical work done in the kitchen. Looks unlikely I'll be able to get any food on the menu till Monday now.

Re: Taking The Plunge

Umm yeah. I put the shoulders on the smoker and take them off 11 hours later. It burns wood pellets for those 11 hours. I don't foil or crutch them. Just leave them to it.

Re: Taking The Plunge

Re: Taking The Plunge

Its a tiny little pub, no more than 40 covers at a time and that suits me just fine. I'm not after making a fortune. If I can pay the bills and do what I love every day then to me that's like winning the lottery.
Until we know its a success I wont be splashing out on a new smoker, I'll be keeping ...

Taking The Plunge

Hey All

As a few of you may know, a while back I turned this all consuming hobby into a small side venture, catering for friends parties. This always seemed to go down well and we have expanded slowly taking in beer festivals, weddings and charity fund raisers along the way.

Well I'm now very ...

Re: A Yoder Smoker

I can get 6 butts in at a time or two full briskets.
