red devil Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Is that the before or 'after' shot?... Ater r d... The thing i've come across in all the reading is that the sauces ( kansas city , kentucky black, texas, north carolina western-style, north carolina eastern-style & of course south carolina style ) all go on after or are kept/used hot in a tray to "pull" the meat into. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg18/scaled.php?server=18&filename=photo14mg.jpg&res=mediumKansas City style homemade sauce. ( smoked for 2+ hrs today & it is deeeeeelicious ) In the u.k we are generally bought up on meat which is cooked or bbq'd with the sauce on. The result can be a burnt outer, not surprising really, as the sugars which are plentiful in the sauces or marinades burn/caramelises very quickly. The hot smoking method is way kinder to the meat, it stays tender for longer as the smoke flavours it. And once set up is actually easier to cook with, it's hard to burn or overcook things.

Yesterday I dedicated the whole day & night to creating...... THE SMOKE... http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg835/scaled.php?server=835&filename=photo8vc.jpg&res=medium Pork Ribs & homemade/smoked Kansas sauce. I have spent a while ( and some ) researching the whole subject and yesterday was a breakthrough; it actually all worked. And my god, the taste of a huge pistol sized prawn cooked in the smoke is something to behold. The flavour is now seared into my flavour mad brain. I bow down to it. I've also had to re-look & re-learn the whole BBQ thing bit by bit. I have chosen the American Southern-style. I can also see why it's almost a way of life. It's cooking but with a whole different feel. So, here's where I'm now at in my understanding. 1. Hot smoke not direct fire to cook the meat is my requirement. 2. The smoke needs containing in a lidded cylinder 3. The smoke is created from wet wood shavings, this makes steam & heat 4. Marinated meat slowly takes in the smoke flavour as it cooks 5. An easily controlled heat of 250-225 is best ( i've put an oven thermometer inside the bin-b-q ) 6. I will never return to a charcoal type barbie again at home. 7 Yes that Webber looks good, I'd love to try one To build the Bin-B-Q as shown in my previous post I bought; a bin and a cheap electric hot plate. After a bit of modification I had it up and running. I then burnt the whole electric hot plate thing to death ( it just wasn't up to it ) So, a wood fired Bin-B-Q MKII was conceived. I already own a stainless steel fire pit & I have access more seasoned wood than I could wish for, so it seemed logical & more natural to utilise these items. Cost so far ?31.00 I've cut a 9" hole in the base of the bin which I then cover with the tray holding the wet wood shavings, the whole bin was then placed over the fire. Rain doesn't effect it as the bin covers the fire nicely. The lid covers the food while it smokes, I just keep an eye on it every 10-20 minutes and stoke the fire with logs when required. The other thing is the sauces. I have the Dean & Deluca cookbook to thank, in all it's got 6 authentic regional sauces. I intend to work my through the lot. Today for lunch, i'm cooking sea-bass in "the bin". NETTE(tu) -

Cut through so serves about 4-6 easy I've just bought the components new to build the S-mokingNette Bin-B-Q ?

What time is it ? Indoors anticipation.

David Aaronovitch says so. And I agree. I love the Guardian, I like the Telegraph, the Times I can do without. I despise the Mail. I just enjoy the "feel" of a newspaper. It holds a particular experience within its neat folded sheets, and a well read newspaper looks exhausted, it looks disheveled, ready to be binned or re-cycled. Personally I like all that & though I read on-line, I feel more immersed if I read it in a broadsheet. Is this nostalgia, or does the physical and emotional part matter too ? NETTE(?)
