I may have to buy half a pig.
If you have the freezer space its a great thing to do. We've bought two half-pigs recently, one of which was ridiculously cheap at £60 because I butchered it myself, (thank you Youtube and freezer bags). Haven't made bacon yet but it was fantastic to BBQ a massive stack of ribs which cost pennies but tasted fabulous, with smoke provided by applewood twigs.captainzep said:
Feel for you LSI.
I'm Saturday morning childcare today, I'm barely functioning and all I have to do is sit on a sofa and ignore the noise emanating from CBeebies.
Probably ought to grit my teeth and put some cereal in bowls for the spawns' breakfast...

After coffee I can actually have fairly coherrent conversations...
I'm now busy planning a unique ally fabrication project that has advantages over the existing solution, will be larger, more efficient and has a very advantageous secondary function.
Today, I like engineering. In about november time, I predict I'll be cursing engineering .

Did you see the Heston programme the other day where he smoked cheeses in a BBQ?I thought it might be quite a nice future experiment...especially with the apple trees in the garden...

Didn't see that, but I'm starting to understand a bit about smoking food after my old man showed me how he smokes trout and sausages all sorts of other stuff. I thought it might be quite a nice future experiment...especially with the apple trees in the garden...
These are good for cold smoking in BBQs apparently: http://www.gardenxl.com/proq-cold-smoke-generator

I only caught the end of it , but I think the gist was to have layers. The twigs or herbs for smoking were in the bottom, then there was a layer of tin foil on the underside of the grills to protect the cheese from the heat, possibly a bowl of water somewhere to act as a heat sync and the cheese on a grill. All vents closed on the BBQ and apparently it only takes 20 minutes.These are good for cold smoking in BBQs apparently: http://www.gardenxl.com/proq-cold-smoke-generator
It was the new "cook like Heston" programme. He went on to use dry ice to make icecream in 5 minutes...
If you can find it on iPlayer or 4OD (or whatever channel is pimping him these days) it was worth a watch.

May I have mine back please?
Gladly. May I have mine back please?
A text message disturbed me from my slumber. I thought "Who the fk is texting me at six o'clock in the morning?!"
Then I slowly focussed on my watch. Ten o'clock.
Granted, I'd had a few beers and a leeetle bit of whisky last night, but ten o'clock is still a record.
I must have been a very tired little soldier.
