Its the old mans birthday tomorrow and im throwing him a BBQ with approx 30 friends :eek:

3kg Brisket is awaiting me at home from our local butcher, Pics of the process will begin later once im home from work. Half a Rack of pork spare ribs will go on too, Sticky Ribs, nom nom nom

Plans for tonight are to clean up and dry rub the brisket and let it stop in the fridge overnight, BBQ will be lit at 10am ready for the meat at 11am then away she smokes for the day :D

6-8hour on the smoker grill should be about ok.

Also doing Pork Loin, Minted lamb Burgers and Beef Burgers :cool::cool:

Im drooling already :D

Burgers made but no pics as its a messy job, ill do some of the cooked results :D

Ribs trimmed and rubbed.
BBQ/Smoker Lit and building nicely

The Charcoal is what we supply at my place of work for Hog roasts, Pit BBQs etc. Good Quality South American Grade Lumpwood, No fire lighters needed, Just a singe ball of news paper. Amazing stuff. Never going back to cheap lumpwood again as it just doesnt taste the same and never ever last long enough.

Note the loaf pan full of hot water, this helps regulate the heat and also stops the meat drying out to much over a long cooking time.
 
Yeah every 30 mins. It's now wrapped in foil for the next few hours. Ribs have been on for 45 mins.
 
8hrs. Check out the smoke ring :D

Resting for an hour now wrapped in a towel. Hopefully it will carve.
 
This looks phenomenal! If anyone lives near Manchester or Chester and wants a BBQ fix then head to hickory smokehouse in Chester or Southern 11 in Manchester. Both are superb but of the two, Southern 11 edges it.
