I’m in far North Queensland - been heatwave conditions here for the past couple of weeks, had overnight temperatures of 29°c with 38 to 40°c during the day, humidity through the roof and mozzies in swarms. Cooling down today, we are coming into Autumn (and looking forward to Winter), June and July should see us suffering unbroken blue skies, cool days and cold nights - bliss. Emigrated here in 2009. Followed SAFC for over 60 years now - nothing changes, you would think I would be immune to the constant disappointments but no, a bad result still affects me for days afterwards - here’s hoping we all have something to celebrate at the end of this season . Take care.
I am in the midlands mate, so would be a long way to come. There are some decent online places to buy good wood chunks. As for spraying, I rarely do it. I swear by a water pan, particularly for long cooks.
Anyone looking for a new BBQ, pop into Homebase this morning for something and they have some cracking deals Texas charcoal bbq down from £180 to £100, and duel fuel £170 from £240. Didn't see any smokers in store
Aldi are doing one of those ceramic egg ones for £399 Gardenline Kamado Ceramic Egg BBQ - ALDI UK sounds expensive, but the "real" ones that they are similar to are about £1,600.
Not quite sure what you get with Aldi 's egg, as the original green egg comes fully loaded but very expensive and not sure l can justify that cost
hi mate you know i'm back in England after 24 years in Europe and i've yet to find sausage to taste like it used to. I remember the taste of Walls pork ones and Richmond pork along with Cumberland, but despite buying at several places they don't taste like they used to. i've tried 11 different packs so far only to throw them out after trying, its like they stick to the roof of your mouth and have the consistency of pate , and the taste is just not what i remember. I know the real ones exist as i had some on the ferry coming over, any advice welcomed.
I can safely say nearly all our sausages that are bought from the butchers over here are good, just the odd ones swapping to plastic skins are spoiling it. I will pm you
