Is upon us. Will get the coals roaring tomorrow early afternoon.
Any TWTD favourites? Got the usual in, plus some lovely whole sardines, potato salad spiked with anchovies, plus the odd bacon-wrapped banana for the intrepid and/or stoned.
Anything to add to tomorrow's shopping list, TWTD? Sure I can count on you for culinary advice!

Oh you got one of those long jobs, cheap though isn’t it. Let me know how you get on as I’m genuinely interested. I looked at getting one but the one I wanted was about £500 from memory, I forget the make now. Trouble is I know I would hardly use it but your one is cheap enough not to worry. Don’t suppose it doubles up as a bbq does it? |
yeah, the big barrel is the place you put coals for BBQ grilling, and the small barrel is where you put the coals and woodchips if you're smoking. Seems as you're a bit of a Mr Fix-it you might also be interested in this -

Definitely would be bit of a project, but I have used ugly drums before and they're great fun |  |

The butchers in Ixworth, Great Barton, Walsham-le-Willows, Lavenham and Humphries in BSE are uniformly excellent. |
I heard that BSE is the way to go for unique beef | |

I have a Brinkman. not entirely got to grips with it yet. Its a hassle to keep the temperature just right over long periods. I think that a thermometer that goes in the meat, with metal wires so the readout sits outside and you can leave the sensor in during cooking, is really important. |  |

No. I’m certainly not a fix - it. Are they out and on show in Aldi’s? |  |

Just returned from the local park where we had our first BBQ of the year.
Try yellow / black plantain, cook in it's skin, when cooked slice open and add jam & cheese, wrap in kitchen foil and cook 'til cheese melts. |  |

I picked one of those up too, someone on another post said that the on board thermometers are not worth relying on | |

Have to say a decent meat thermometer has been a dream. Couldn't recommend it highly enough. Sad fecker that I am.
Cheers for the smoker info too. Been meaning to get into it for ages now but need to take the plunge!
All looking good for tomorrow now, most stuff prepped. Can't wait to chomp some crunchy sardine heads! Hope the weather stays fair for everyone grilling tomorrow or Monday.

After years of going the pulled pork route this year I'm going to experiment with brisket. |
Brisket is nice, if you get it just right, if you over do it (which isn't hard to do) you end up with soft jerky more or less. I would defiantly suggest getting one of those metal cord meat thermometers with a good lengthy probe (ooh matron) on it for that | |

A lot of aldi's home lines have really impressed people in my family it must be said, and they can be somewhat snobby- I must admit I felt overly sceptical about the smoker/grill I bought, it passed the grilling test with flying colours, tomorrow its going to be put to the test on the smoker box. | |

I’m off to Aldi is a minute to get some more wagyu burgers, they were stunning. I might pick up one of those smoker things as well.
Top tip on the wagyu burgers - don’t overcook the feckers otherwise you may as well buy prison grade burgers. Keep a bit pink in da middle | |

Yeah Wagyu can go terrible wrong, like venison- Fair warning, you might not find these in store- it says online exclusive >:( | |

Smoking is a long and finicky process my friend, but amned fine eating as you become a pit master. Keeping the barrel up to temperature is the tedious stressful job, but at 2 hours my pork is 105f internal , 175f is the goal. As about 140 the fat will start to render and ill stick my sausage sin there | |
