  That's one of the things that caught my eye... the chimney actually extends to the grate. Nice touch! And cast iron is an immediate win, ofcourse! Many owners seem to use charcoal boxes and heat baffles to improve temps and reduce fuel use, but I've also heard that a water pan right near the...

  It was Stella I believe. They had the big bottles selling for half price so stocked up, used one for the batter and drank the remaining million. Coopers Sparkling would be quite expensive to use in a batter!          In Australia, the most common fish used for fish n chips are the Blue...

  Cheers mate! Yes, I think I am going to pull the trigger on the Hark smoker. It's within my price range and from all accounts is superior to the Chargriller unit. The next step up is pretty much the Yoder, which are priced in the thousands. I'm happy to spend 500-600 for a decent unit to learn...

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on that one. I'd rather pay more and get something that's better quality. I get the impression the Chargriller is finicky to deal with and from the vids I've seen, leaks like a sieve! From all the forum posts I've read on other BBQ forums, seems like people...

Doing a bit more research, I've stumbled upon this: http://www.outdoorsdomain.com.au/hark-tri-fire-offset-smoker/   From what I've read on forums etc, it seems people are very happy this one. 

  That's definitely on the agenda. A few dry runs, then using cheaper meat, like chicken wings or something to work out the kinks. I'll likely be investing in a remote thermometer aswell. I'm not set on this model yet, I'll actually go down to various stores, they might have other things not...

There is a hot sauce company in Melbourne? Why am I just finding out about this now?    Do they make a sauce which burn your face off? If so, I will prepare my car, credit card and pull a sickie from work...    That X-hot sample pack looks good... might pay them a visit the day before my chilli...

Cheers mate after a few fry ups with this unit, I am happy to report that it kicks ass. Fish n chips done in this thing are awesome, I had 6 pieces of chicken in it at the same time and the coating came out crispy and the meat juicy. Loving the large capacity. Will be frying some Buffalo Wings...

  Beer! Spread evenly between oneself and the flour. Kinda like when Homer Simpson fills his car with Gasohol... One for you, One for Me lol    TB, you batter is interesting... never thought of adding mustard and you only mix it just before coating and hitting the oil. These were done with the...

  That is awesome, that smoke ring mate is epic. If such a cheap pit is capable of this, then that is money well spent. An couple of hours and a few bucks extra to get it performing close to the ultra cost units sounds like a worthy investment. Plus the large cooking area and the ability to use...

Nice! I've developed my own secret bbq sauce aswell, the recipe was on my phone which broke! :( Lets just say, my family is very disappointed that my recipe is sleeping with the fishes....    Looks like ribs there are about as expensive as here..... last time I picked up some ribs from the...

Is it me, or do I recognise that grill from a Youtube vid I recently watched? :D ;) I'm considering this one, and have found a gasket maker at the local car parts store which is rated to 700F to seal up any leaks. Looks like a couple of simple inexpensive mods to extend the chimney down to near...

http://www.bunnings.com.au/char-griller-deluxe_p3180388 Wanting to get into smoking and charcoal grilling and thinking of getting this smoker. Now I'm the kind of guy that researches all his purchases to death, so I did my homework reading reviews and all that. Seems like most people like it and...

Cooking is just so much more fun when you're drinking! Cooking without booze is like driving a car without a steering wheel. Bacon wrapped steak, that is full of win. That melted sheeze on the side there looks pretty darn porn quality too.    Grilled up some sliced Pork Belly last night. Rubbed...

KFC , rubbed in HK special rub, brined in water and seasoned salt, then double breaded in a mixture of flour, cornflour, special HK spice rub (which contains a lot of paprika, lemon pepper, Cayenne, Chilli powder, ground black pepper), something like 5 tablespoons of Cayenne powder with 1:4...

Mad smoker and mad chicken. You are winning

Thankyou gents! Rest assured, beer was consumed en masse. Whenever the deep fryer comes out to play hence forth, so will the beer  :onfire:   First time trying homemade beer batter, it certainly won't be the last! Think I'll do this again next week, right after I try some homemade KFC...

Damn Booma, think I short circuited my keyboard with all my drool

Attempted to make some homemade fish and chips for the first time using my new deep fryer. First time using the fryer as well so it was not without hitches.    Made a beer batter. Little did I know that beer batter not only tastes good, but makes a superglue more potent than actual superglue...

Even Adam Richman would be stopped in his tracks by that one Randy! That's not a burger, that is Noah's ark designed to carry two of each burger ever invented!    A simple Cayenne Cheeseburger I cooked up tonight.          Tomorrow night, the new season of Deadliest Catch premieres here, so...
