I didn’t realise how much it looked like that until I posted the photo.

It’s all going to be cooked in one piece

Need cooked photos... drool...

Hoping to finish the frame for my pergola/BBQ area next week, going to be a game changer for my outdoor cooking ?

I’ll remember them this time, I didn’t take them after my last cook.

I’m going for the Pot Roast recipe from country wood smoke

Yes, the brisket was amazing but I'll be trying a lighter ale next (we used Guinness) purely because we prefer a lighter sauce.

One thing I haven’t bought yet is the ale . I’m not an ale drinker, so if you have a suggestion that will be available from a supermarket that would be appreciated.

I was thinking something like a Newcastle brown ale or similar, still has that hint of sweetness without being too heavy.

I put a large pork shoulder I'm a brine late last night, I was a bit tiddly and just made it up on the hoof so I'm not sure how it will taste ?
Going for a long cook with it tomorrow.

What random things did you put on it?

SPOG, paprika, cayenne pepper, bay leaf, sugar and a few squirts of my cider vinegar/apple juice mixture I think ?
Made a mop sauce for the pork yesterday, I'm trying to emulate Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce which is always out of stock in the UK, tastes ok but may drop the paprika and onion powder next time. Also made a rub which tastes quite funky ?

 

[SteveW86]

I did get an after pic too, it was extremely tasty! Just having the left overs in a sandwich

 

[Beezerk]

Three hours in, first peek and mop, looking good ?
