Hm, that's not a NO. Good.

It's a challenge, I know. And I am glad to hear, that you already start to prepare yourself for this adventure to come! What a brilliant idea to meet your trainer! Maybe he can recommend a good specc for that.

Please keep in mind - we gather a group atm. You would not have to solo that event. We might be lower level than you when it comes to BBQ stuff, and also the gear level and quality might not be up to your standards, but I am quite sure, that we'll manage without a wipe and we would have a lot of fun.

Afaik the event area is a non-RvR and non-PvP zone, so we are talking about some good old PvE fun here. As long as we know the mechanics of the fight we should be fine, right? And you already outlined a basic tactics in your post, great.

That sounds very promising to me. Really, it does. Looking forward to it. ;p

Just imagine the stories we could tell: After a long and glorious fight we all gathered in a friends house. And there was food - lots of good tasty meat - and beer and singing and talking and we didn't stop until sunrise.

Bonus: you will get A LOT of XP from that (including group bonus!) and maybe you even level up in "BBQ". How does that sound?

LOL Jor. I forget sometime how good your humour is, I miss it.

So, little update.
Had fun with Bruce, no photos, as we were experimenting with rubs and sauces. Not much to see really.
But I am catering my friend daughter christening next week. So that will be brisket and pork again. No ribs this time.
I will try and grab a few photos or that, but it is starting to look the same.

And then for Bruce's party on the 3rd of Sept. So that should be some good photos.

Doing pork belly tomorrow. Mainly experimenting with a different rub flavour, lets see how my tasting minions, I mean work colleages (HR asked me to be nicer. ) like it.

New day, just a little update.

Pork belly for a try. Please dont comment on how badly I cut the meat up. Skin on right was left on purpose.
Anyway, this was a test with smoked paprika, subtle taste but not great.
Secret of BBQ is change 1 thing at a time and take your time.
Anyway, enjoy.

Thanks Fend for the move.

Since I have been chatting BBQ, time for an update...........

As you may or may not be aware, I have had a firmware problem with the larger smoker.
After a long email thread, they have sent me a new controller.
So I will fit this soon and doing a large rib run to see if the controller works and the new rub works better.
So I can run 2 different firmwares and swap out the controller as needed.
I will update in due course.

PS. The guy I was talking to has a smoker like this:

Decided to make some home made Piri Piri marinade this evening. Since I cant do any smoking or anything like that thought I'd contribute on the marinade front, even so far as if people suggest one I'll research and make it!

Most of the sauces and marinades out there contain artificials, perservatives and boat loads of salt which is bad for me. This way I can be in control of exactly what goes in.

I had a litle help from the northern hairy bikers cook book found at http://www.hairybikers.com/recipes/view/piri-piri-chicken#I7RFwyl8iVctR06R.97

Stuck my finger in the marinade to taste and bloody hell blew my socks off just about, think im in for a treat later

Tried to upload some pics but struggling to suss out how.

But forgot to take photos, will try and remember tomorrow when I test them at work.
