Hi, Ive just signed up and have that 'can't wait to get smokin' enthusiasm.
For the last two months Ive been THOROUGHLY researching smokers, as much as you can in the UK and decided upon either the Telpro Milwaukee or the Oklahoma Joe Highland. I preferred the look of the American to the German but if a deal came along I wasn't fussed. Living in SE London its extremely hard to find either of these smokers to visit in the steel so Ive watched ALOT of videos and read ALL reviews. I was watching another youtube video on making a heat deflector late last night and just before lights out I thought Id just check Asda Direct again. As part of the Walmart group they were shipped some OJ highlands last year I think and knocked them out at US prices- I peeled back the Wonka bar wrapper and.... they are in stock!! Add to basket!! Its arriving Tuesday at the discount price of £279 (uk rrp £499)
I have nearly spent that amount again buying up chimney extension, thermometers, new gloves, sealant, maple planks and other paraphernalia but I don't care- This time next week Ill be smoking
Anyone have any advise for the first cook?? I was thinking a pork butt and beer can chicken
Cheers
Adam
