Interesting stuff @ booker

Saw a large shoulder - was like 6kg rind on, and I think boneless.

Ahhh, the memories, Bookers in Trowbridge always had pork shoulders between 5.5 - 7 kg, ALWAYS. Now I moved and I use Bookers in Gloucester and they only ever have up to 3kg ones... 3 kg???

I mean, what's the point ha haa, go big or go home Bookers....

Might have to have a wonder down to Bookers,

The problem I have is the Freezer is all ready fully of Forzen Meats\joints......I might need to ask Santa for a New Freezer for Xmas

The amount of meat we have in our freezer.. There's literally more meat than anything else!

Re: temp problems, are you running both vents wide open?

[adenjago]

yep, thats pretty much like our freezer, I really need to get small square Chest Freezer for all the BBQ Meats

both the air inlets are wide open and all four exhuasts were open as well...

I have a chest freezer - and it is full. Bummer because booker have rib roasts on offer!

Restuarant charcoal normally means there's no additives like accelerants on them and that its from un-treated wood.
Basically better quality wood. Or thats what I've always taken it to mean.

thanks for the response, as i have hijacked this thread enough i will start a new thread regarding my smoker issue's.

i would be interested the amount of smokers (if any) if the use the Restaurant grade charcoal and if they feel it makes a difference

I use the bookers in trowbridge frequently, and the butchers counter is pretty awesome.

My new favourite is Wing Yip which is a Chinese cash and carry - branches in several major cities.

Fresh Beef ribs & brisket for £4 a kilo! They do frozen ribs too.

Yeah, Wing Yip s good, used to go when I lived in Manchester.

I dropped in at Wing Yip in Croydon when driving past a while ago and came out with two big mixing bowls which are awesome and cheap, when I went to Manchester recently to see friends I dropped in there but they only had the smaller ones

I'm dying to get another few
