• mixup with the delivery dates at the butchers meant this arrived too late to do the 8-10 day brine for pastrami so will be just smoking it like a normal bbq brisket.

    gave the kamado a high temp burn to give it a clean and will repeat tomorrow before giving it a wipe and clean out ready for christmas eve.

    now i have it in hand it's looking like it might be better to cook the two separately, maybe point for christmas day where it's just me and my gf and chuck the flat on in the evening on christmas day so it's ready for visiting family on boxing day.

  • we actually paid £10 less than that as their website charges the lower end of the weight scale (5-6kg in this case) but due to weight variations in the actual items the price by weight is likely a little more.

    and we just moved into our new house after spending ages doing it up so we're not doing presents and this is our christmas treat.
