Told her she can buy me a new smoker for our anniversary.

"tanks" here---RobertNotBob:--
I gave up smoking years ago otherwise I would be available if the price is right.

Very good Tanks. Even though Major is a bit crook, it seems you haven't lost your sense of humour.

Visited Dot and Mr G last weekend and walked away with a small box of lemons forced on us. O well what is a friend to do but smile and accept.

The end result was worth it as usual. Jar of dried zest on the left and dried pulp on the right. Three bags of a sweet lemon juice equal to about a litre of juice. Anymore you want to get rid of Dot will be glad to accept. Cheers Robert.

They had rump cap on special so I bought one to try. Weighted in around four kilos so cut it in half. A 2 kilo slab to smoke and yhe rest to divide into several different meals.

As the rump was a lean cut I injected it with beef stock to add moisture the coated the exposed meat with a Texas style rub.

Set the smoker at 105c, added soaked apple chips and placed the rump fat side down over a pan of beef stock. Set the temperature probe for 65c which will give me a internal temperature of 64c.

Only did the one lot of chips which gave about 1.5hrs of smoke. Cooked for 6.5hrs, wrapped in butcher paper and placed in the easky for a couple of hours.

Had thin slices on fresh butter rolls with mustard for tea. Will slice and freeze rhe rest after lunch. Cheers Robert.

That looks delicious Robert. I'm getting hungry just looking at it.

[Shirley]

Certainly does look tasty, where did you learn to cook & prepare all this food Robert?

[RobertNotBob]

Certainly was nice and more for lunch. Shirley if you can ever get me drunk enough to talk about my first attempt at cooking pasta you would understand. A case of learning or staving and I do like to eat.

[Shirley]

Ok, so just a hobby, like cooking & eating good tasty food thought you might of been a chef at one time.

To nights meal was a Lamb hock, and mushroom ragu as to morrow is national mushroom day.
Excellent meal with great taste. Recipe from the the Australian Lamb web sit. Certainly will be doing again.

Only difference was I smoked the hocks with apple wood for an hour before searing. Cheers Robert.
