Smoking

Had a go with a cheap smoker last night - scroll to the 9 minute mark to see how to do it. Yes, it actually worked, and I am going to do it some more.



Where we deviated from Jamie:

• We didn't have hot coals ready, so we threw some firelighters and charcoal beads into the bucket, lit them up and waited until they got hot
• Don't use hexamine based firelighters - they taint the smoke
• Used a packet of hickory chips bought from the shop
• Used a cake rack instead of sticks to hold the smoked meat
• Put an old fashioned metal fly cover over the top, and then topped that with a wet tea towel

Dead easy - the main bit is getting a galvanised bucket from your local hardware store.
