Recipes, home grown goodness, BBQing and food stuff

I was thinking about the masterbuilt for my next BBQ (although my akorn is far too well built for my liking). But I'm not sold on the mechanised aspect, and the potential problems that go with it. I use a tip top temp on my akorn, but if I upgraded to another kamado I think I'd consider smartfire
-
the longest cook i ever did on the Joe was 10 hours and once i had the temp right at the start, i didn't adjust the vents again the whole time. it just sat at the right heat all fucking day
-
actually the hardest thing is NOT playing with the vents, just to tutu and feel like you're doing something...

@nzzp you are sure getting a good spring.
Looks from the bottom of the loaf that you are using a cast iron pan? or Dutch Oven?Yep, dutch oven. That's a fennel and white flour sourdough; the proofing baskets have transformed them from ghetto to seriously good looking loaves. It's a regular thing in the house now, and great to gift to people

Do you plan to graduate to 'free-form'?
I don't think you have too, just asking if that's the plan. I moved on when one wasn't enough at a time and trying to time two was a pain.
You obviously have to adjust a bit and ensure structure but yours look pretty good in that regard anyway. It's not like they have spread to the sides. -

I did two today - the other was good, but a lot simpler. I find the timing no worries - 20 min on the first, then pop it out and into the oven,a nd the second loaf goes in. 20 min, lid off, first loaf out, and then done in 20 more.
second loaf - good lift, and I got an 'ear'!
ps I lied to you polish bitches about not posting more. Sue me.

I'm spamming y'all with sourdough porn now. Last one for a while I promise
got some advice on how to start, sourdough needs a culture doesn't it? love bread but never baked it other than in a bread machine out of a packet
so never posted in here....i like to think im ok at BBQ but dont think ive ever done anything special or unusual
anyway, a couple of years ago i found some smoked olive oil in the supermarket, used it whenever i BBQ'd stuff, was great. It ran out and i wasn't able to find it again. some interneting turned up this place

@kiwiwomble I'd never even considered baking bread before, but got a voucher for a half day course at a culinary school and decided I'd try that one (was only like 50 quid). It was excellent, fuck bread's pretty easy if you want it to be eh!

@kiwiwomble bread is really easy. SOurdough is as complex as you make it.
This place has good resources
https://www.reddit.com/r/Sourdough/check the right hand side - some good links
suggest you get a starter from a friend, or follow their instructions
https://www.reddit.com/r/Sourdough/wiki/sourdoughstartersstandard recipe they do - it's pretty good and clear.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Sourdough/wiki/standard-sd-recipePersonally, I just played - did a loaf a week. First one below alongside a breadmaker load. Quite a change in less than a year!

@nzzp yeah I do 2 chilli cheese loaves every fortnight and they serve us for breakfast until the next batch. If I had a better kitchen I'd make more.
@Kiwiwomble the key is good flour too. If you can find a decently priced lesson I'd recommend it.
