Re: Thinking of doing some lowkey catering

Wow, lots to consider!

I'll speak to the council and then look into the food safety course, better to be safe than sorry!

Thanks for the feedback.

Thinking of doing some lowkey catering

Hey guys!

I've been smoking for a few years now on and off with my Pro Q bullet smoker, and with my wife and I finally getting a house with a decent sized garden for more weekly smoking fun, I'm thinking of setting up a small stall at our local town market.

Not looking for a massive profit but I ...

Cleaning the Excel

So I did quite a lot of BBQ last year, and since then my Excel has sat in the garage.

Before I get started again this year, I wanna clean it out. Any tips on where to start/ what to use?

Thanks,

Chris

I'd really ...

Re: Setting up my Frontier for the first time

Well I've stuck a little bit more charcoal on, and som more wood, it's plodding away at 250 pretty happily. I pulled a bit off the BBQ and its pretty good :) the smoke ring is noticable on the bottom bit but not on the top so i've flipped them over. They're only leg pieces so I think they're well ...

Chipotle!

Hey guys!

I'm really new to smoking (my first time is currently ongoing, chicken is about hmm 1 hour away)

I love the dried chillis you can buy at supermarkets and they're phenominally expensive so I thought I'd ask the experts about trying to make my own!

Google reveals you need a really clean ...

Re: Setting up my Frontier for the first time

Well I've rubbed the interior with oil, I've stuck a decent handful of chips on the coals and made a little foil parcel and successfully used my chimney starter. Now I'm gonna wait a couple of hours and stick some food on it, just cause, y'know I can't resist. :)

Setting up my Frontier for the first time

Hey guys,

I excitedly unwrapped my new smoker last night, it looks very shiny at present, I can't wait for the weekend to play!!

A couple of questions, does the water pan sit directly on the charcoal pan? or do you suspend it with the ridges which seem to be in place for the grill? I only had ...
