That breading on the chicken looks really good.

Good idea. I find the baffle heats up right above where the flame is placed and gives an uneven heat distribution on the rack.
-
Is that a tray you have placed on the baffle under the wire rack? Is it just resting on the baffle precariously between the rack and baffle?
I need to find myself something that can fit in between so i don't have to constantly clean the heck out of the baffle.
Pork looks amazing by the way. Well done.

I think Bradobeero has one. Haven’t seen him on here for a while though.
Jimmy70 not i sorry, Looks like a good piece of kit though.
Blue Marlin welcome aboard. You can never go wrong with any kind of pellet grill/smoker. Once you start getting the hang of it all your friends will want to taste the goodness and pretty soon you'll be hosting some gatherings and then you'll be complaining that the smoker you have is too small.

Just got back from 2 week cruise, so looking forward to NFC/AFC championship games next week. Hate 9ers, love Joe Borrow, so you know who I am pulling for!
I lived in Cincy for 2 years so it is Bengals for me to. Good to see them 2 years in a row now really competitive.

I get mine from Merlo. I'm on the Bayside in Brisbane so go to the Victoria Point store. I've been drinking their strong "Forza" roast for a while and have started to lean towards their Espresso blend. The free coffee you get with every bag is always brewed nicely and the staff are friendly.
I find that getting the grocery store bought beans in any style are sometimes hit and miss and don't last long and tends to not grind/brew so well once you open the bag, even though i re-seal it.

Records made their way back into the mainstream so give it some time and we will all be sitting in the bush with our leaf underwear cooking with bushy beards.

Gumb that seems to be it's biggest downfall is how close the main rack is to the firepot directly underneath. Chicken wings are amazing on it though, haha.

Looks great.
Last one i did in my Asmoke came out a bit too dry, that may have been because it was on the main grate and not the upper rack. I've thought about putting another baffle/cover in the base to help with temp protection on the main rack, I love using my asmoke.
Did you use the heavy duty foil/stainless steel or just plain old alfoil with a couple of sheets?
-
Another piece of good advice is to put the splits you are going to use onto the top of the firebox to help dry them out. It will help with ignition of the splits when you put them in. You seem to have this covered in your photo though so good work.

I second the chicken thighs. Smoke them for a bit and you can cook them for hours and they still come out tender.

Went up to Toowoomba on the weekend for a couple of days to look at flowers for the flower festival. Not my usual choice for time away but took the opportunity to take the Asmoke AS350 for a portable test drive. Luckily the cabin had a power point on the outside, although i did have an extension lead just in case. Treated some friends to a couple of reverse seared rib eyes that don't eat alot of red meat.

We've got one that's called "2 Stroke" because he's hard to get started and always smoking.
Had one years ago called "Strobe Light" because he showed momentary flashes of brilliance followed by extended periods of dullness.
I heard a funny one the other day on a NRL football podcast. The Broncos players were calling Tom Flegler (Brisbane Broncos Forward) FIFO (Fly In Fly Out worker) because he would play for one game, get suspended and then on his return game was put on report and suspended again.

How do you store them once you split the pack open? Do you have a vacuum sealer? I was close to asking if it was possible for them to open them and re-pack them as single plates, even for a little extra cost.
I got 2 packs of these last week and cooked a pack (2 plates) yesterday.
Trimmed them up and put a texas style rub on one and just simple salt and pepper on the other. Cooked them at 120 C for 6 hours then wrapped and cooked for a further 2.5hrs. Only got to 89 C internal over the whole cook but they turned out pretty tasty. Only a smidge tighter in the bite then i would have liked but overall pretty good. They are a 4 bone plate which shorties are usually 3 bone so they are pretty good value.
I was wondering if these were actual "chuck short ribs", not the traditional short rib you would see in most butchers windows. Just the shape of the meat to me looked a bit misgiving. But this is probably more because it has 4 bones.

I find the cold pan start is also the best way to get your crispy skin on salmon.

Looks fantastic. Beers and beersticks at your place then?
Certainly. And with Bacchus Brewery not far, there are good beers as well. I will need to make some more though as they are not lasting long in the fridge. My daughters keep eating them.

Tried my hand at Twiggy/Meat/Beer sticks on Sunday afternoon.
500gram Beef mince
500gram Pork sausage meat (Couldn't get pork mince at my local IGA)
Sachet of Aussie Herb mix (leftover from Hello fresh box)
Sachet of Smoked Paprika
1 x Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper (Hot)
Removed the skin from the sausages and mixed it all up on a bowl on Saturday night and left it in the fridge covered overnight. Used a cake icing gun to line them out on the racks.
Bought 4 cooling racks from Woolies for $8 each and cut them down to fit in the smoker.
Set my AS350 to 95degrees and smoked them for 2.5hours. Worked out really well and will definitely be doing more.

Nice one. That dam photo looks damn great.
Looks like a refreshing trip.
