Tonight it will be pork neck steaks and bacon wors.

And my whisky stock is getting very low.

Stage 3 must not take too long to get here.

That thing on the grid looks much like a dead dog, but fortunately your focus is on the important stuff.

Try Checkers/Checkers Hyper. The ones here seems to have all their braai stuff available.

Wanted to get a new grid for the Weber, food thermometer and wood chips to smoke. Not really stuff Checkers stocks

Did find wood chips at Spar though. Going to be and interesting braai tomorrow

Trying this today

Do you just sprinkle that on the coals?

Do you just sprinkle that on the coals?

Yeah, but apparently should soak in water for 30 mins first. Haven't really tried it before

 

[CamiKaze]

Do you just sprinkle that on the coals?

Yip.
You soak it in water for it to last longer so that it can create more smoke, and this will help flavour the chicken/meat during the process of smoking.

Myth: Soak Your Wood First

TLDR: Don't soak.

Myth: Soak Your Wood First

TLDR: Don't soak.

I did some more research on this.
Looks like I've been doing it wrong.
Only tried it twice though.

How important is soaking wood (chips)?

I have an MES 30", so I'm not really "burning" my wood (chips) per se. Is soaking wood important, and how long, how much? I'm aware of some who say soaking wood is pointless, but it seems the majority soak wood before using it for smoking. Opinions?

Chips or Chunks? | Smoker Setup | Weber Grills

Chips or chunks? Either will do nicely. The main difference is that chips burn faster than chunks.

Smells good.

i only tried this once before years ago
i was gifted a small stainless steel smoker box
size of a carton of 30s smokes is about what i can think of now

i put the shavings in there that were soaking in a bucket of water for 60 minutes before
and closed the lid, the smoker box has lots of air vents all around it.

Popped it into the weber on the coals and added meat and then closed the weber lid

couple minutes later you see the smoke coming out the vents on the lid, looked like a Thomas The Tank Steam Engine

the end result is lots of smoke and there is the flavoring in the meat but i honestly wouldn't do it again, too much smoke if you live in a windy place and those shavings are not cheap
