Hi Folks
Beautiful weekend in the UK and some great sporting results for us too. Thrashed the Aussies in the Rugby, then Murray won the Tennis at Wimbledon.
Sunday called for a family get together, so the coals on the OTP were lit at 7.30amin using the snake method.
by 8.30 I had a nice steady (there or thereabouts) 250 degrees

Primarily this was for a small belly pork joint which Mrs A had dry rubbed with Szechuan pepper and five spice powder. Here it is just before being doused in HoiSin sauce for a hour or so before serving

in the background you can see a spatchcocked chicken which also benefitted from thr low n slow treatment - was SO juicy..
the pork belly ended a little dry - but was still delicious
also cooked were pork n leek sausages, salmon steaks marinated in chilli & olive oil, mushrooms stuffed with garlic & parsley butter, tomatoes, onions/peppers/courgettes and a couple of jacket potatoes (plus a green salad, some boiled new potatoes and some garlic bread)

and here's the salmon...

overall a great cook (and it all went)
the snake method was still delivering 200-250 heat 8 hours later (and it wasnt even a full ring!)
Mrs A said it was the best Q we'd had - more low n slow will follow this year...
thanks for lookin'
