    Hot smoked a couple of trevally fillets last night. Then shredded em up and made into a hot smoked fish pasta bake. Delicious & hearty and a great way to make a couple fillets go a long way. No photos of the end product as it got demolished pretty quick.

    Homekill lamb neck chops tonight. Slow cooked in olive oil with salt and then reverse seared in a sizzling hot pan. Almost as good as rib chops. This is rapidly becoming my favourite way of cooking less than premium cuts of meat.

    A while ago, I ended up at a shit hotel/motel, in akl before moving here. Went the restaurant and was not really impressed, (I couldnt work out if they we're a pub or a fine dining place) but a slow cooked in oil lamb shoulder, caught my eye. So picked it for a go. Bloody hell, amazing!!
    Fantastic.
    It was a slow night, and I said to the waiter that I was impressed, 2 mins later the the chef is out. Said again bloody well done. Blah blah blah.
    He said, the taste is best after 4-5 cooks. Ie, lamb sholder in slow cooker, cover with oil (rice bran) and on slow for 8 hours. Then out, drain, and into 220 deg oven for colour. Our rest for 15mins and onto plate. But keep oil, and the best tasting round is about 4-5 rounds. Now at home unless your eating it every day this wouldn't work, but it was amazing tasting lamb, and it was apparently on the 3 run.

    Not really dinner tonight, but will be some breakfast (bacon) and after dinner cheese and crackers (the cheese) in a bit. Bacon needs a couple of days in fridge, and the cheese can wait a month or 2.

    Oh and I stuff some raw eggs in the shell, in there as well. In the past they are nice fried inside, and have a note of smoke. Like they were cooked on a bbq.

    Didn't get a pic of the bacon slab. Will do when I cut it up and cook.

    Did a smoked leg of Fallow ,this season we have found the local Fallow venison in particular has been about the best we have ever had,anyone else found the same? Do not know whether it was the long dry spell broken by the flooding & on going wet weather,but it has been bloody great eating .


    For years now l usually bone out my game in the field after having a mate blow out his knee struggling doing a carcass carry out,so with this Fallow l Butterflied the leg & rubbed it down with lemon, oregano, garlic pepper & salt and "Greek Seasonings", started it off with about a hours smoking with apple wood ,turned out fantastic meat was sweet & melt in the mouth .

    I couldn't wait until tomorrow, so fried a bit of the bacon.
    Nice, but a bit salty, so next time instead of just rinsing after the cure, I'll also soak it for 30mins or so.
    Good taste though, good hit of smoke, bit of sweetness, I think I get a bit of sour from pomegranate but not sure(certainly adds color) .
    Also next time, will be a good dose of chilli powder in the cure.

    @Hewie I built it to be mobile. Fire brick floor and sides. Rise/fall grill grate on a simple winch system. Handles are retractable for trailer transport and form the base for the removable table top, which stores under the floor for transport. Left hand side is designed to be the 'fire box' to produce the coals for grilling, and will accept a standard bbq plate in the angle iron rails, and it will also accept a bbq pizza oven. All round multi purpose. One really big advantage with this setup is that you can shift it around depending on which way the wind is blowing - keeps the smoke out of your eyes.
