(MN) Lord's Brisket

Dry rubbed in the Newmanator Rub:

4 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cumin
3 tablespoons chilli powder
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoon cayenne pepper

Left for 2 hours in the rub using American mustard as the sticking agent! 

The cook was at 235f and took 6 ours to hit 192f rest 30 mins and see with Websters BBQ sauce!

Simple Steak and BBQ Sauce


Nothing to add to this, other than the steak was monstrously epic, both in size and taste, made even better with our own BBQ sauce.

MN texted during the cook for an update. His brisket looks equally as good as these steaks.

(AW) Repeating Curry

Another Balti.


Same as last time as it was sooooooo good. Only this time, we cranked up the temp on the egg to about 600f after the curry was cooked, so the Naans got roasted quicker. Much much better. (Except when she who must be obeyed forgot to add the lemon and garam masala at the end!








(AW) Big Green Toaster?

Chilli cheese on toast


Something simple, like cheese on toast can be improved by egging it. So we made a mixture of grated cheddar, chilli, onion, coriander, tomato, lobbed it on the bread and cooked it in the egg. Now it was excellent, but could have been better if when my wife says 'a few minutes at 200', she had stated centigrade! As it was, it takes longer to melt the cheese when cooked at 200f!

Still, very very nice!

In fact, once you've had it this way, you will never be happy with "vanilla" cheese on toast.

(AW) "Ruby, Ruby, Ruby"

Chicken Balti


Decided to try the ultimate food on the ultimate cooking device. So curry on the Egg was the order of the day.

We cooked the balti (courtesy of the The Spicery) in the dutch oven and also cooked home made naans in there too. I have to say, the smokey flavour made this the best curry I have ever tasted, and I have tasted a LOT!.


























What we did


Cooked the home made paste off in the dutch oven on the plate setter (legs down). Then added chilli and cinamon stick. then the chicken, and water. Finally, before letting it cook for about an hour at 400f, we added wet hickory wood to the egg, to smoke that badger! Finally, when it was cooked, we removed the dutch oven, and cooked the naan on the plate setter!

(AW) Beef Skirt Fajita

Half Moon grilling


Again, another birthday press that needed testing out. The cast iron half moon skillet. So we re-did our beef skirt fajita recipe. The half moon worked a treat, cooking the onions and peppers!
