Had a great smoke up for my brothers 30th about a month ago using a mates smoker, thought I'd share the only pic I managed to take...



Also that fatty looks epic, definitely on my to do list.

What did you cook for the other people there?

Looks like an offset smoker. Saw one at the Big Green Shed not long ago. Had a feel and a play and wasn't as tinny as I expected. Not absolute quality but probably worth $325 including the offset. No affiliation ra, ra, ra. Sent a pic to my mate and he reckoned to take it home as I deserved it. How would my UDS feel though? It loves me. So I explained to the offset it was just a fling. Then it was an upset smoker.

The others got salad

Yeah it's an offset smoker called Landmann, works a treat. Those cheese stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon were so good after being smoked for 4 hours.

Got stuck into my first smoke on the weekend. Went to the butcher and asked for pork ribs. He told me those were American and they didn't have them. Pointed me to some ribs that were shaved down to the bone in the freezer... Looked horrible. Asked several follow up questions confirming that pigs here don't have ribs but got nothing... Got a pork belly instead

Edit: Oh and by the way ended up amazing... Would have taken photos but forgot and there was none left after having people over. Probably a good sign. New addiction game on

Your butcher is sort of right but sort of not. Obv all pigs have ribs. Just that american pigs are grown huge compared to ours. You will never get the same 'meaty' pork ribs as America here. And over here they are bloody $20KG minimum, its an absolute rip off.

If you want meaty pork ribs ask for a full pork belly with ribs on, then you can cut the Belly out yourself and leave as much meat on the ribs as you like. You will pay for it tho $$$$!

If you want meaty ribs then beef ribs are the go. You can get Cape grim for approx $15/KG from most butchers.

Although my local butcher still get in a carcass and butchers it properly so he does his beef ribs for $10KG but they arnt as neat looking as Cape Grim products.

Thats whats pissing me off about smooking at the moment all the "CHEAP" cuts that low n slow turn into a good feed, butchers have cottoned on and charge a fortune for it. Brisket, Pork Ribs they are all a rip off. These all started out as cheap cuts like lamb shanks once upon a time.

If y'all were a little closer I'd help you out a little

Anything I get butchered is $1kg to do. So my last lamb that weight a whopping 27kg cost me a whopping $27 to have butchered, sorted, packed and straight into the freezer.

I did my first overnight pulled pork the other week. Started it too early, so it was probably done when I was asleep, but other than a little dry, man it was great.

Next time I'll stare it late at night, then check in the morning.
