Dancook 1400 Kettle review About 9 months ago I added this charcoal fired little beauty to the ever growing collection with the view to replacing the old beer keg bbq/smoker that I made about 20 years ago. Not that there was anything wrong with the old one other than the fact I needed a bit … [Read more…]

Much as it’s a great achievement to smoke a slab of meat that size, if you were cooking for a family bbq, it would … [Read more…]
Magic Mix Here’s my take on the popular Magic Mix rub. The proportions here are for a small quantity, so scale up as required if you need more. I use this one a lot for indoor cooking as well as on the grill or in the smoker. It’ll add a little pep to just about … [Read more…]
