I can't stand star anise! Ever since I used it in a bourguignon and it tasted like a giant bowl of licorice. Terrible stuff!
You're a fucken delight on here lately innit

experimented with a chutney this afternoon: Chilli & Crab apple.
Mainly just your standard red chilli, but had 4 ghost chillis as well (those little plants are prolific) added a bit extra sugar to counter the sour of the crab apples.
Taste test says it is pretty good with some heat...fingers are still burning like I have put deep heat on them repeatedly this afternoon, even after a couple of soapy washes!!

Was that before or after the pics of Kate on the Hot thread?

Definitely need to use sparingly
And in the right dish.

My Kamado Joe finally arrived this weekend after a long covid delivery delay (it was sitting at an Auckland delivery depot for weeks)
Only cook so far has been a reverse sear steak which went pretty well. The Meater is fantastic.
If the weather holds off I'll test out the pizza stone this evening. Any tips for hitting higher temperatures? On the first cook I struggled to hit the high temps for my sear. I presume thats an amount of charcoal or an airflow issue?

Airflow. You need charcoal that allows air to flow through - bigger lumps are better than dust.
Leave it, take your time, keeping the lid open can speed up the process (and obviously make sure the vents are all open top and bottom.
For pizza, I struggled (despite the heat) to get even cookign. Was early doors for me in my kamado experience, but did it a few times and gave up and bought an Ooni/Uuni. Happy days

Hell yes
I have a hand fan and bellows I use, but leaf blower is next level

You literally bought a leaf blower purely for the purpose of assisting with the lighting process of the coals in your BBQ. Words fail me with your awesomeness!!!

Right, pizza dough. What is everybody's favourite recipe & I'm after some tips.
I use a standard one, and it comes out great. But I'm bored of great, I want awesome. I have a wood fired ooni which is awesome so cooking oven not an issue. I got a pizza from a small vendor shack a few months ago which was phenomenal. Really bubbled up on the edge and quite chewy, whilst super thin where the toppings are. Anybody got a clue on what I need to make this crust?

Add semolina to get the chew?
