    I completely forgot to get pics as it was cooking, cooked using a Rotisserie add-on for the Weber 57cm kettle. Was a tough battle as it needs to be completely balanced as it turns otherwise it will start to sag and get overcooked over the about 5 hours it takes to get to temp. It gave a hell of a lot of meat. (Yes I had to "trim" the head, not nice…). Crackling was ok on some sides, leather on the other. Overall, would try again on a larger unit, not worth the hassle otherwise. I would 100% recommend the Rotisserie for Chicken though, I used it for a large Chicken the next week, and it was unreal. I would try a Shoulder or Boston Butt only next time, as that's where the meat really is. 12 kg Piglet, sourced from the Village Butcher in Ranelagh, delivered to the Midlands.

    There is an attachment you can get for a weber that will do that (but its currently out of stock). I'd keep an eye out for when its back. I think it was around £150 and it has an electric motor. I have their rotisserie attachment for a few years, and its great.

    How did this turn out in the end? What temp did you cook it at?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,365 ✭✭✭Busman Paddy Lasty


    Bought some quebracho blanco and very impressed with the heat and clean burn of it. Does have a weird smell though.

    I bought 3 sacks of Big K last week. £1.57/kg.

    2kg of ribs from my butcher this morning. Lots of meat on these.

    Great price. I see it is £21 per 12kg bag on their website. But €65 per bag on Amazon for me!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 182 ✭✭Eeshaw


    I'm lucky that a wholesaler is near me. The type that supplies restaurants, burger vans etc..

    Cooked it at 180C, it doesn’t need low and slow. I like it the rare side of medium, but I think I hit medium.

    Flavour was great though.

    Can I ask how much the 12kg pig was ?

    Was it fully prepped ready for cooking?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,023 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    It was €200, and yes it was prepped and cleaned, only Kidneys remain, which you can use later.

    Woke up this morning a bit worse for wear , came on here and saw some posts about ribs. Off I went to find some ribs - not easy on a Sunday - they'll be done around 6.

    Didn't last very long. Wasn't a huge amount of meat on them but very tasty all the same.

    I have the nose of a bloodhound and can't say I've ever noticed a weird smell off it. Was yours perhaps treated with something?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,365 ✭✭✭Busman Paddy Lasty


    I don't think it was treated with anything. If yours is from the grill fanatics bag it would be identical. I'll have another smell some evening this week.
