Hi guys, my name is Richard and I live in New Zealand. I am 36 years old, have a wife and 2 children. I have had my Bradley 6 rack digital for about 6 months now and have just discovered this site. I plan on sharing some of my recipes and findings and hopefully learn from you guys as well.
Cheers
Richard
Hopefully you can teach us how to smoke that lamb you all are famous for...I've been scared to do it...so...teach us some stuff!!! Hubby says you're an Anzac...He's a Brit... ;D
Awesome Richard and welcome to the site. Do hang around and check out the recipe site from the link below my post. Lots of great projects and info there.

Be careful, LQ. When a Kiwi says, "Where's the sheep?" he may not be looking to smoke it.
Dang Ka Honu....I'm not sure he's a kiwi to start.... ???
"Kiwi" is a generally accepted nickname for all New Zealanders. Originally came from the NZ military contingent back in the Boer War and as part of the Anzac in WWI because the kiwi (bird) was part of their regimental insignia.
Kiwis maintain that Aussies are the ones who have "personal relationships" with their sheep. Aussies feel otherwise.

Couldn't have said it better myself, it is ndeed the Aussies that are commonly reffered to as "sheepshaggers"
Heres a sample of some smoking I have done

Enjoy
Welcome Blue Legend!
Welcome and enjoy the site, those mussels, did you just crack them open, leave them on the half shell and place them in the smoker like that? Looks very good.
welcome blue,
enjoy the forum
Welcome Blue, looks like you will fit in just fine here.
Welcome to the forum Richard. Ahh, Greenshell NZ mussels. Great eats. We have a Chinese Buffet that has those on the line in the evening. I've been known to down a dozen or two or three! BTW, I've been dying to try some of your trout fishing (incurable). Coming soon, if and when the economy gets better and I start getting a full salary again! Never talked to anyone doing any saltwater fishing there - how is it?
W E L C O M E to the Forum Blue Legend!
Love the idea of soaking cheese in brandy before smoking - will have to try it on my next batch.
Where in NZ are you?
I'm just North of Auckland in the North Island. We live on a Peninsula and are 1 mile from a boat ramp either side. The saltwater fishing here is great, and regularly catch snapper up to 12lb
Brandy idea sounds cool, but I'd rather just smoke the cheese and drink the brandy while the cheese is smoking. ::)
Welcome aboard, Blue Legend!
Spent several weeks in NZ a few years ago including a 4-5 day road trip through Northland. Too much fun (and way too many really good beers).
welcome...blue good looking food..........

PS just so you know 90% of the fish were tagged and released ;)
That's is what I call some serious seafood. It doesn't look like that when I go to the supermarket. :)
Great shots Mark, brings back those great memories, but i'm still waiting for the crayfish to come back (It is at the taxidermist as it weighed 4kg ;D)
WOW.......... don't know whether to laugh or cry looking at pics like that!! ::)
Superb fishing, the crying comes from jealousy as obviously NZ have looked after the fish in their waters unlike the Brits who sold out to Europe many years ago and have paid a heavy price. >:(
Got a Maori friend who says that bag limits are quite tight in NZ, is that right? :)
Awesome pictures Mark! 8)
The only thing missing in the pictures is.... Me! ;) :D
Mike
WOW
That's fishing.
Peter
Holy crap that would be fun.
Nice pictures there.
Wow nice fish! We had the pleasure of visiting NZ a couple of years ago when our daughter was in a study abroad program - a semester at the Univ of Canterbury in Christchurch. We spent our time on the South Island, but it sure looks like we need to come back and do a little fishing.
Great country you got there, and welcome to the forum!
HOLY CHIT THE BED....AMAZING...FREAKING AMAZING....I don't think I can say anymore....I am speechless.... :)

Make sure you go to the North Island if you come back, the fishing is way better and the fish much bigger
Bigger Fish??? Bigger Fish??? Dang dude...you guys are hard core fisherman!!! ;D
I've posted some more photos in the "Hot smoking and BBQing" section under subject "photo's" take a look :D
