Is that an additional smoke chamber on the top rack?

Yes... A smoke tube.

They're normally used for cold smoking but you can use them to increase smoke in a hot cook as well.

They're not always needed but I'm cheating today (3-2-1 method) because we're eating mid afternoon, so I need to speed things up a bit.

They're now crutched for two hours before a final hour of saucing for the crust.

Do you have a charcoal bbq as well? Or do you manage with just the pellet grill?

I don but I'm considering one now we have more space.

They were delicious...

Interesting. Have been eyeing up a Daniel Boone or a Davy Crockett - would love to hear how you get on with it more in general. I'm torn between - cooking for self size, and potential entertaining size.

KFC again

Been watching the chef show, Jon favreau and Roy Choi on Netflix. Loving Roy. So generous with his praise but still so precise in what he’s teaching, sending out of his kitchen. Also loving favreau and his enthusiasm for cooking and being on the line. Current favourite episodes first Friday when he’s in a food truck and the Aaron Franklin episode when he’s cutting brisket in the restaurant.

Looks fine to me... Money shots please...

It’s 3.4kg

It’s for two people

We’ve invited the parents in law around for dinner now so that it’s not as bad.

Just gone in the over... 4h 30m until I’m eating it (roughly)

Discovered that Jnr likes a salt fish fritter, like his dad.
Which means I get to work on my fritter game on the weekend.

New poultry shears, finally... Very happy, great price, solid construction and really nice looking IMVHO... The Global were going for half price at AU$75 but these were only AU$26 and I preferred the design... They dismantle for easy cleaning too...

Did the ginger pig beef class last night - loved it. Full on meat sweats today though!

It's a nice touch, Brazilian brand apparently... 👹

New delicious made-up Asian-ish popcorn chicken recipe...

1. Pack of six skinned and boned chicken thighs from the tramp's buffet

2. Cut each thigh into three so you get three strips

3. Place in bowl and add fresh grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic oil, sesame seeds, honey, soy sauce, salt... Mix and leave to sit for half an hour... Turn on oven to 200°c and throw a baking tray in there...

4. After thirty minutes of marinating tip some polenta into a ziplock bag and throw the chicken in... Mix well, add more polenta if you feel it needs it, you want a nice even coating...

5. Remove baking tray from oven and place chicken strips on tray... Chuck in oven...

6. Wait til crispy and delicious then throw in a mountain bread wrap with some Kewpie mayo, avocado, lemon juice and baby spinach... Delish...

This is a low FODMAP/low acid recipe, feel free to add chilli, onion, tomato or WHY... It tastes fucking great...

anyone know where i can hook myself up with some Tofu Shirataki Noodles without handing cash over to jeff fucking bezos?

actual shops that sell them would be even better.

Tofu Shirataki Noodles

Japan Centre and maybe Oseyo
Longer shot would be one of the generic Asian supermarkets (wing yip or mare st etc)

But fairly sure japan centre have them

is that small Japanese market shop still in Soho? they used to have a good selection, near rapha.
