Noob from Scotland

[Gobsheen]

Hi,
I just picked up a second hand Original with the cold smoke adaptor and can't wait to get going!  I do have a home made simple smoker box which I've had pretty good results from but just easy hot smoked stuff i.e. salmon etc.  Smoking pre-cooked chorizo sausages were a huge success!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to smoking some bigger stuff in the Bradley though.  Pastrami is high on my list of smoker ambitions!  Happy to get going with some straight forward ribs and chicken though.

Expect many questions........hopefully some day, I'll be able to answer some!

Here's my first one.........is there a member's map?  I didn't spot one on my look around.

Cheers,
Gobsheen

Well, wouldn't you be the foolish one, if you weren't askin questions here.

Many of this forum's best recipes, including Habanero Smoker's Beef Pastrami recipe, are stored at www.susanminor.org, in the Our Time Tested & Proven Recipes forum.  You'll find not just the recipes.  Most of the recipes also include tips and detailed instructions that are quite helpful to many of us.  I think the recipes are a great read.

Welcome from Montana. My wife and I visited northern England this last spring and spent a couple of days in Edinburgh. My daughters family lives in knaresborough GB. We visited every meat market that I could find in the area and all I could find was sage based sausages. {English banker's with like more garlic or leaks added.] I did not find one smoked sausage. I am sorry but they don't know what they are missing. I asked a couple of old butchers if they ever smoked any sausage and they looked at me like I was crazy. They did not even have a smoker in their shop. Get into some smoked sausages you will be a very popular guy.

Welcome, from another Scottish member. I have found sources, or equivalents, for most of the stuff mentioned in the recipes that you don't usually see here so if you are having difficulty finding something let me know.

Thanks guys!
The Susan site looks like it'll be a big getting started. I'll definitely need plenty of baby step recipes to get things right.
Yeah, smoking is still not a big thing over here but more and more people learning about it.
Waltz, thanks for offer and I'd say I'll be onto you for some local info. Finding good meat at the right price will be one of the first challenges!

Welcome to the forum.

Though still small, I've noticed that American barbecue seems to be growing in the UK and rest of Europe. I've become friends with a man from Scotland who now resides in Connecticut. We both share the love of American barbecue. He is a Kansas City Barbecue Society Master Certified Judge, and also an International Barbecue Certified Judge. Last year he judge an American style barbecue event in Amsterdam. So hopefully in the near future, products mentioned in the recipes will become easier to find over there.
