IHUK - A day in the life of….

[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

[Jett129]

No way I could go 6 hours without checking. That’s pretty impressive. Just curious, What will you be serving with it?

[Alex]

We're making coleslaw and there will be some salad. Then I made two BBQ sauces, a Carolina Gold and a Bourbon BBQ so we have a couple of different options to work with, and we have some brioche buns too

[Alex]

For those interested:

The sauce from here (used a different dry rub, see above)

.      I’ll be right over. I love pulled pork with a mustard based sauce and coleslaw on bun,but brioche is next level.

Oh my god that looks so good. Hopefully you can taste it Alex!

[Jett129]

Looks like it came out pretty good. Did you buy the meat from a supermarket or a butcher?

[AdamC]

@Filthy @Jett129 I can confirm that the meat was incredible!  Great performance by @Alex for the Kamado's first spin.

We had some supermarket burgers but the pork was from the butchers

@Jett129:

A butcher. I pretty much only buy meat at a butcher unless I can't avoid it. The quality in supermarkets in the UK is getting worse and worse

[Jett129]

The reason I asked is because the supermarket meat in my neck of the woods is useless as well. I have a really great old school style butcher,who takes really good care of me. I just have to let him know in advance if I want a specific cut of meat,like a pork butt,or a brisket flat.

Pulled Pork looks excellent, especially with the Carolina gold I might add.
