got a 9 or 10hr smoke on for the brisket,currently runing at 30c for smoke.Heat comes later. and last 2hrs in goes the boerewors sausage.Got a basting mix of carolina reaper/brown sugar/salt. So far so good,low heat at the moment but when time comes to baste and wrap in foil will crank up to 170c for 2hrs.

Interesting.
Did Field Days and walked out with only a smoker. Gizmo you put chips in, light and a pump bangs smoke out which you aim wherever you like. Cold smoke, 3 degrees above ambient, but no worries adding heat if you want. So far did a small block of bog standard tasty cheese, was not too bad for the first attempt. |

yes,had a bit of charcoal burning to get get hickory woods chips to smoke,wood chips been soaking overnight to slow down burn time,last 2hrs opened vents and really got the heat in,internal temp of meat 170f. Well basted with a reaper brown sugar mix,normally trim fat off brisket but left it on and it rendered down nicely,pulled apart with fork
Boerewors 2hrs on top rack,having no fat smoked up like salami style.
Would love a bradley smoker but $1200 starting kit bit rich for the amount I do.

That cold smoking is something I'm sussing at the moment. I brought a cold smoke generator (https://www.ufocooker.co.nz/product/https3a/www.ufocooker.co.nz/product/1852492) at Field days after being seduced by some smoked cheese. The smoke coming out is generated by burning chips so is 3-4d egrees above ambient so hardly much 'heat' Your mate Otto cold smokes mud fish (trout) a lot and it's bloody good but uses no heat so I'm still a bit flummoxed as to how the things are 'cooked' so to speak. I'm hunting for more cold smoking info, if you find any let me know. |

I believe cold smoked food lasts longer, speaking of field days. Got hooked on sheep milk cheese

Ok you guys you are/have pissed me off, talking all about this slowing cooking.
I have a Weber Genesis 11 a 3 burner BBQ but I can't get the temperature down to your temperatures what is a good bbq for slowing ccoking and smoking?

I use a basic Webber kettle, the little one, 47cm I think it is. But I am considering a offset, nothing flash but one that can double as a BBQ and smoker. Staying with solid fuel rather than gas. There are no electric BBQ's, those are called stoves:) I can also cold smoke but only done some cheese while I work it out. My go to fuel is Samba Cocoshots. Kickstart those with wax infused wood lighters and/or a 'Go big or Go home' sized gas torch off a 9kg bottle  Oh and get a chimney, they make it a lot faster to fire up. But I may need bigger in a few days, I just borrowed a full on thermal and IR scope. Lots of game trails coming out of the bush, narrowed down the ones being made by heavier feet so I'm going full sniper this evening. Come out come out where ever you are little porkers. |

Pity there isn't deer up there as well. (well, from the freezers perspective anyway) Dad has had a thermal scope for about 4-5 years now, it's amazing how good they are. It's not really hunting, but you get a lot of meat! nom nom |

Yeap we have deer just over the ridge. An old farm the current owner opened all the gates so the remaining animals roam all over. Occasionally they go in an pop a few off. Agree, with some of the optics these days it does seem a little like cheating |
