    Re the butcher conversation earlier. Sadly good butchers are getting harder to find. A couple worth stopping at if travelling around are Mangawhai Meats at the Mangawhai Village (great snags and awesome thick cut lamb chops and aged steaks); Harris Meats at Cheviot ( the butcher is the nice older bloke that was on the last season of Masterchef. The brothers own an abbatoir down the road and regularly get in the finals of best steak comps. The shop itself is mouth watering. Beautifully presented and awesome family size pies). Highly commended also to the butchers in Geraldine down a side street. Venison patties, great snags etc.

    <p>A year ago I sold these people a chainsaw on trademe and they unexpectedly sent me up a box of their different salamis <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.blackballsalami.co.nz/'>http://www.blackballsalami.co.nz/</a></p>
    <p>Their stuff is superb too, probably the best I've ever had.</p>

    I was going to cook there, but away with mates instead. Pity - would have been good fun.

    That said, I don't agree with their weird australian BBQ categories. Seafood ain't 'q', it's grilling. Grumpy grumpy grumpy NZZP

    These guys are great.. the brisket is incredible

    Last autumn they had a semi permanent store in the CBD (O'Connell Street). Hopefully they do the same this year

    So resurrecting this thread again because as well as treating myself to a new Audi I have been given a top range Bradley smoker for my birthday (good week 🙂 ).

    Wanted one of these suckers for a loooong time. Almost completes the cooking toys - two kamado's, sous vide, induction hob, pressure cooker - I'm in business.

    What's the collective advice of the Fern recipe - technique wise? I already do a bit of smoking, but this hopefully promotes me to a higher division.

    @dogmeat speaking of Induction Hob we have had two weeks without a cook top as I dropped a full stock pot on the edge of it which shattered the glass. 😞

    Only just had it replaced yesterday.

    I've used this pressure cooker recipe a couple of times - the 30 minutes on high pressure variation

    If we are doing toy skites, I just unpacked one of these for my birthday.

    Pizza dough has been maturing all day, sauce made with San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella at the ready and basil in the garden. Will be firing it up after a few more beers.

    @Crucial Nice!

    I have one of these that fits inside the BBQ (mine is a gas Outback 4 burner). Gets to 500 degrees and cranks out a fresh pizza in about 3 mins, its awesome. Bought a Kenwood chef to mix/knead the dough as well so its all super easy.

    Yeah, I've looked at those and the good ones seem to work well. I don't use that style of BBQ though so no good for me.
    I also look at portability as a big plus. I do a fair bit of camping and the idea of a portable wood fired oven is pretty cool.
    Anyway, the first flashing was reasonably successful. They aren't quite as simple to get the hang of as proclaimed. Getting the fuel flow and fire level constant is the big trick. It is quite easy to swamp the fire and it really requires a good licking flame to be at its best.
    The firebox is understandably small and needs a constant flow of fuel at the right rate (which changes depending on if their is a breeze behind it)

    Cool. Do the stones come out in case you have to clean them? Does it come with tools or did you get them somewhere else?
