something about eating a tail just doesn't work for me, same as tongue, guts, innards.....all nopes.
And how do you monitor the temperature? That would be cool for peppers, but I think I'd be wary of doing something like fish.
But I want oxtail potjie cooked by a proper Afrikaner... Preferably a farmer
Yeah, but make sure you start closing off the vents before you hit the temp you want, it'll keep rising for a while.
I wanna try it all at least once.. Well, most things.
They were fall-off-the-bone, which is technically classed as overcooked when it comes to BBQ. But goddam tasty.
Used the Memphis meat rub from amazingribs.com, and a BBQ sauce with some apple juice added in and reduced. I sauced them for around half an hour before pulling them off the smoker, and served with sauce. I didn't use a basting or mop for most of the cook, but I did spritz them with apple juice.
Oh, and last night I did chicken pieces. Pulled the breast off at 155F at seriouseat's recommendation. It was one of the most moist pieces of chicken breast I've ever tasted, and perfectly cooked through. Will add pics tomorrow, don't have my SD card with me at the moment.

Current pricing, could have changed maybe:
Loin ribs plain 2 racks per pack 80.00
Spare ribs plain 2 racks per pack 80.00
They deliver to me, think they come up to your side on Wednesdays. Their pork products are great, but I'm looking for even meatier ribs.
Tell her Randhir referred you, maybe she'll throw a little something my way
I mentioned on the previous page or two, yes I have. Smoked both to make paprika powder, although it was more paprika flakes than powder! Tasted good though.

Where did you source it from bud?
They actually have agents in SA. You can get them here, the dude who deals with them in Durban is moving more toward marketing the Big Green Egg, so he's letting these go for around R4000. This one was further discounted because the box was damaged during transport.
I was quite surprised, the grill was cheap here so I thought it was an inferior product. After extensive research, most people from the US, UK and Australia absolutely love them. They're a bit better than similar grill as they have the capability to go to 500F. Apparently most don't go that high.

Have you used this smoker yet? I understand that it only works with a certain type of pellet, what happens if they run out?
How was the food etc etc
Used it twice - once on Sunday for pork sausages, were awesome.
Yesterday - made ribs. They were tasty, awesome texture etc but I made the mistake of not foiling them when the bark had caramelised enough. As a result the bark turned a bit too hard, but that's something that's easily rectified.
Will be making ribs again soon, but tonight it's smoked drumettes and pork chops.
