Things That Gladden The Heart

Did you do it in a kettle bbq or a smoker? I've been reading about the minion method and bbq coal snakes, there's a whole world of bbq techniques out there I never knew about :oops:
And I'm still waiting for the self proclaimed bbq king of the GM forum Captain Iron to post some recipes :p

Done on a Weber Kettle, its the only BBQ I have, but have been able to do everything I want on it so far. I use the snake method, think it works much better on the kettle and is easy to control the temperature. Briquettes are much better for a snake, but make sure you use good quality ones (I only use Weber), cheap briquettes have chemicals in which effect the taste of the food. Light 7-8 briquettes in a chimney starter and then when they are ready, place them on the end of your snake. If you want to add some smoke, then get some wood chunks in the first quarter of your snake.

Million dollar question.
Regarding temps, Weber website says only adjust the top vent to control the temp, other websites say only the bottom. What have you found that works best?

Have a look at a Facebook group called "CountryWoodSmoke", all the info you could ever need is available on there.

From the research I did, I went with using the bottom vents to control the temperatures. If you close the top vents there isnt really a release for the smoke and it can effect the taste. I dont have a hinged lid, so I rotate the lid as the snake burns so that the vent is opposite where the lit part of the snake is, this draws the heat and smoke over the meat. One thing you may not like to hear is that the built in thermometers are not that accurate, so use as a guide only. If you are planning on doing slow cooks, such are pork shoulders/ribs/briskets I would invest in thermometer such as a "meater" which will allow you to monitor the temp on the grill and also the internal temperature of the meat. Some of the bigger joints of meat are pretty expensive, so a shame to ruin one.

Had scallops in the week and having langoustines tomorrow, such a shame langoustines from the west coast mostly go in normal times to the continent .

Nothing better (y)

At work earlier (well, at home at work) I got an email asking to add someone called Kevin Keegan to our system. Took every fibre of my being not to reply with "I would LOVE to add them to the system, just love it!" :p

A few months ago, our work cleaner was on the phone trying to sort something out and was trying to give his name "No it's HEADLEY.."
All I could think about for the rest of the day was Blazing Saddles.

That is possibly the lowest behaviour I have seen on here for a while, & worthy of an infraction!! :mad:


Have one for me, you git. :p
 
Mrs. BiM had a back twinge so went to the chiropractor this morning, which nearly resulted in her putting it out completely. Bear with me...

Mrs. BiM & the chiropractor were discussing safety measures re the virus. Apparently someone the chiropractor knows, rather than wiping the tins & stuff down, put it in the dishwasher. This resulted in removing every label from the tins, and cooking some of the contents. You couldn't make it up!

Ah I haven’t done it today, I have just saved myself £800 by not purchasing a second set of clubs for out here ... I was strong and just bought a driver that was very easy. Now I need to work out if I can pop back home in the uk pick up my clubs and come back here to Gothenburg... in a weekend without infringing the quarantine

Can you not ask your new colleagues if they have the equivalent of gumtree or facebook marketplace for you to search?
 
I remember posting on one of the Brexit threads many moons ago that I was appalled by the bias being shown by the BBC on their coverage of Brexit and, as you'd expect my view was roundly derided by the usual suspects on here. Well, it now appears that Ofcom have decided that they agree that the BBCwas biased in a report that they have released

You got a link Chris, I did see a report earlier in the year were some complaints of bias were upheld and some dismissed.
So not sure if they were bias during the whole process or just with certain programmes etc.

Another option for you. Could you get your clubs and bag wrapped and shipped via ups, dhl or equivalent. Would your work have an account you could ship via? I haven't shipped to Gothenburg before but I would expect to Stockholm that would cost £30-40. It would save duplicating gear.
