Snake method has worked for me for low and slow on a kettle

What do you use to separate the coals? Bricks? There is not a lot of space inside the kettle so just curious.

Great idea but why so spendy? I can get a new offset smoker for that!?!

Those are Aussie dollars - so 120GN. Where can you get an offset for that? Decent ones are spendy.

Bunnings have got a nice large one for $189 at the moment, bog standard Chinese job but will do the job...

Meh. The reviews of the cheap ones are not great because they tend to be pretty cack at controlling the airflow .

Read that first before making a decision.

I got great results on my old cheapie, will have a read tho'...

@dancing james
I've tried lamb twice recently and on both occassions f***ed it up as it was too dry. Annoying as it's not cheap.
What temp are you taking it too and how long is it taking approx?
Meat looks lovely and your pic reminds I must get some proper electrics setup outside for me smoker.

I foil wrapped it after a couple of hours

lovely feeling more confident to try again. Thanks.

It’s locally raised Jacob lamb, with beautiful seams of fat.

Has almost hit desired temperature and the fat and connective tissue are breaking down so it has a beautiful wobble when touched.

And it’s done, will leave to stand before shredding

Nah, looks rubbish.

Oh man that looks good.
I must get some meat!!!

The the meat was covered with English mustard and honey before being rubbed with salt, garlic, rosemary, brown sugar and mustard powder
I was going to add lemon zest but forgot.

Dayuum etc. Looks banging.

Does anyone have any plans for a diy smoker, friend has plans for one and I want to make sure they get it right/don’t burn their house down using it..
Thanks

A standard offset smoker is pretty easy to make, firebox, main chamber and chimney... Maybe a fat drain? If your mate knows how to make stuff he should be fine...

First BBQ of the year yesterday.
Made pork ribs for the grandparents in law from Winnipeg. Was a hit!

Tonight's dinner - "afterburner" steak using thin sirloin.

30 second a side then 20 seconds a side was pretty much perfect. Topped with home made chimichurri.
