That would be me when I get down to HQ next week after my Covid quarantine

We've got the Joetisserie extension which I cannot wait to see in action!

We got just about every bleeding extra they make I think…

Luckily I have a really great relationship with one of the UK's largest stockists - I may have got a deal 

[Appfaff]

So stoked for you all!

[Twistlock]

What a great present.

Happy to learn the sale went well thanks to the superb effort from the Stubborn Team and super nice to hear you got yourselves a fantastic celebratory team present!!

Now, I’ll look forward to trying the output during Gosport 22!

Today is the first outing of the new Kamado. We’re going for a pulled pork as I think it’s probably the most forgiving meat to try the new style of grill. I was up bright and early to get things fired up

[Alex]

Going for a mix of apple and pecan wood in with the charcoal, amd have opted for the PitCue house rub to put on the pork butts.

[Jett129]

The rub sounds awesome. Before I put my rub on I coat the Butt with my favorite mustard,which just helps the rub to stick. I also spray,towards the end, with a mixture of 50/50 apple juice and water. Do you have a thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the meat? I’m a big fan of Apple and Hickory for smoking pork. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

[Alex]

And now we wait

@Jett129 we have a Meater+ to keep an eye on the cook throughout the process and then one of these to check things out for redundancy towards the end of the cook

[Jett129]

The reason I happen to be awake is that the remnants of Hurricane Ida have dumped upwards of 13 inches of rain on my town which is getting flooded. I’m getting enough water in my basement that I need to be running an auxiliary pump in addition to the 2 Sump pumps I have. So far so good. This is the thermometer set up that I use for long cooks.

It is clear that I yesterday was not the perfect day to visit IHUK

[Giles]

The cakes were great though - thanks 

[Nik]

Was a pleasure to visit. The chinos are perfect now, wearing them today! Thanks to you and the team as always

[Alex]

About half way done

[Appfaff]

Man you guys didn’t eff around on getting all the kit did you??

Super jealous! The hurricane last year rocked my BGE and it’s cracked all the way up the side, thinking to replace it with a Joe set up like you guys - it’s epic!

Looks fantastic. And don’t forget what Aaron Franklin says…”If you’re looking,you’re not cooking”

[Alex]

@Jett129 haha, exactly. That was the first time i took a look about 6hours into the cook. Will stay shut until/if there is a need to do a wrap to speed up the last 20F
