I really need to get a bbq or a smoker, there’s some amazing looking food on this thread.
I make do with a tinfoil tent in the oven. For my dry rub ribs I use a Binging with Babish recipe; Freddy’s Ribs from House of Cards:

Cor.Would have been rude not to take advantage of the lush weather at the weekend.
Bavette steak with chimichurri, cooked dirty with triple cooked chips, string onions and grilled toms.
How did you do the chips and grill the onions?

Thanks, we're quite pleased with Brian Bearu the Bear.
I presume that’s a play on Brian Boru? Didn’t think his name would be recognised enough in the UK for that to work.
Your salmon looks awesome.

Thank you.
Yeah, Brian Boru is not the most well known over here but we needed to come up with a "story" so my mate who is a copywriter came up with the story and I came up with the name of the Irish Canadian bear. I'm not sure everyone gets the connection but I like it when people do pick up on it.

Old school in a big saucepan of oil (on a gas burner)
Chips: Cut potatoes (Maris piper) , boil, cool, blanche in hot oil at 120degC, cool, brown at 160-180degC.
String onions: Slice 1-2 onions v thinly (with a mandoline) to get lots of thin rings and just snap them into strings. Then dip in a very thin beer batter before deep frying.
Batter: 180g flour, tsp baking powder, tsp salt, tsp ground black pepper, tsp picante pimento de la vera, tsp cayenne, 1tsp cajun seasoning.
Mix 3 eggs and 500ml beer together first and then mix this with the flour.
Used one of my home smoked choc habanero from last years crop in the chimuchurri which worked really well.

I'm looking forward to first BBQ of the year. Didn't do as much as I wanted last year, but had some awesome meals. Whole chickens were a favourite, but never got as far as ribs. Other half doesn't eat beef or lamb, nothing to stop me cooking it, but I have to do something equally as good for her.
I'm actually quite tempted by another Weber. The last one was super cheap anyway and can see the advantages of having a smoker and a conventional grill.

How does it read inside the meat? 
I ended up getting the Inkbird with 6 probes as it was as cheap as the 4. I've still not managed an elaborate enough meal that needs 6 probes...

It doesn't, it's for surface temps only. I'm not genuinely suggesting anyone get one but it's a fun bit of kit.

Way beyond schedule, but I'm very chuffed to have finished my drum smoker. Running a test burn/seasoning today and might get my first cook on over Easter weekend.
That looks an awesome bit of kit.

That looks great. Love the colours.
What’s going in first?

What are the pipes for - airflow ?

Yup, air control. The ball valves are at hip height so no need to keep bending down to adjust.
Probably gonna get a big pork butt on it first, it's got to be one of the most forgiving BBQ cuts so will do well for a first time...

First pulled porn on the drum went down very well. Had a friends social in the park at the end of my road so I did food for a load of mates and mates of mates with and honesty jar on the table to cover the food.
Was 5kg of blade in shoulder so first overnighter on the drum . Went down very well...
This weekend decided I was bored of picking meat off of tiny little racks of babybacks, so bought some spares. The butcher left the pork belly meat on them so they were the meatiest ever.
House Rub then smoked in the drum over oak and glazed with bought sauce as I was feeling lazy this time (Sweet baby Ray's)

Bf got his smoker going for the first session of the year. Bloody awesome pulled pork with cheesy mash. Springtime bliss.
