    Do custard squares even exist outside of NZ?

    Apparently 'vanilla slice' in Aus ... but no idea how they stack up. Good ones are sublime.

    Aren’t the best custard squares the one from Pleasant Point? Probably the ones mentioned above as Timaru

    Are those the Denheath ones? If so, they're good - but I'd rate the other two I had higher.

    Greatest regret: not far enough south for a cheese roll. Will have to make my own again.

    One of the best pieces of meat I've had in quite some time.
    28 day dry aged grass fed Angus.
    Dry brined for about 6 hrs before a reverse sear at 250°F on the Family Q.

    Turned out brilliantly, the flavour was strong but not overpowering.

    Angus cooked and rested.jpg

    Please excuse the shitty cutting board, couldn't be arsed getting the good wood one out as the smell had driven my wife and I hunger crazed.

    Colloquially called a "Snot Block" over here in Aus.

    And yes, as always, of course it's an Australian invention and not stolen/borrowed from elsewhere and especially not from New Zealand, I swear judge!

    Love lamb shoulder. It's so lush and takes a lot of smoke really well

    Like @canefan, absolutely love lamb shoulder, rate it much higher than a leg of lamb.

    Are you planning on slicing or pulling it?

    What rub do you use for the lamb?

    Probably slice it,

    usually just use the rub from Meathead's book - or just ad hoc something. Lamb has a lovely flavour, doesn't need much additions.

    is there a joint of meat that rewards slow cooking as much as shoulder - lamb or pork just reward that slow rendering so well and as was said take up the smoke wonderfully well.

    I'd take them over brisket any day.

    fair. It's something I struggle with on the Bubba Keg - I'll smoke for 7-8 hours at 225F, but still have a fair bit of structure to the meat - it doesn't easily get to a pullable state.

    May have to really give it more time when smoking next -- I often get pushed for time as I'm an optimist. Briskets go overnight, so I don't worry nearly as much

    Increase your cooking temperature to 275F. The meat can handle it. And wrap or boat it too at about the 4 hour mark if you want it to be soft as at 7 or 8 hours

    cheers.

    Do you spray yours to take more smoke? I may try that too - my smoke threshold is lifting, and kamado don't let you over-smoke things easily
