    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?

    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!

    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?

    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?

    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.

    Despite having a Smokey Mountain for 2 years I only did a direct heat cook this week for the first time. In short it was a life changing event. This "Nando's" chicken was so crispy and juicy it defied physics. Taste 11/10 too.

    Used quebracho blanco so that may have added flavour vs using briquettes.

    Anyone else having issues with Fuego Fuels lately? I placed a pretty big order at the end of June that there's still no sign of. Have been onto them twice since, radio silence.

    Smoked rib and Guinness bone marrow pie.

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=W5KRpevdfy4&is=i8zLgdpoklOKc8zn

    Got it done last weekend on the weber kettle as in the video, great success.

    Had to get the centre cut marrow bone ordered from my butcher Fxb Deansgrange. They call them marrow bone canoe. Anyway they now stock them if anyone is looking.

    Another way of using the bone marrow canoe.

    I haven't tried it yet but working on it.

    Did me a boned and rolled turkey leg. Third attempt, first attempt i didn't puncture the skin although it was already punctured when I bought it. Mushroom stuffing.

    IMG_20260321_124937.jpg

    Gonna stick it on the barbecue and have smoked turkey and risotto (roughly Milanese)

    There used to be a great recipe for a pork shoulder rub up here. Tried looking but…

    Just got delivery of ingredients to make a load up but want to make sure I get it right! I'm doing one batch for the summer.

    Had a photo on my phone but changed phones and I cant find it anymore.

    Thanks

    Rib steak joint, 12.50 per kg in supervalu, low and slow at 130°C until 60c internal, rest for 45 minutes in foil and towels. Unwrapped and hot oven until golden brown, lovely.

    I had same last weekend but 3kg took 9 hours to hit the table. I'm expecting about 6.5 hours max on 2kg.

    Weber kettle snake method.
