First Cook For A While.

[TonyUK]

We have 10 friends coming over for Q today. So the CEO had me get up at dark o'clock to get the bullet fired up.

Minion method with apple & pecan wood. Aussie Heat Beads.

6LB rolled pork shoulder. Homemade sauce with a garlic & herb rub.

A bit of sustinence for the cook.

Chugging away!

Sun coming up. Gonna be a nice day, although a wee bit chilly.

Rib-eyes, king scallops & tandoori chook also on the menu. Gonna be a busy day. Will report back later.

Can't wait to see it all. Although after all that sustenance for the cook, I'm hoping the pics don't get to blurry. Haha

Let's hope Tony doesn't get too blurry! Sounds like the beginnings of a great day!

Looks good Tony. Love those early morning cooks too, after I drag myself out of bed.

Well, what a day that was! I'm shattered!

Firstly I would like to apologise for the lack of action shots. I would have needed to grow another pair of hands. Everyone else was too busy getting "lubricated" to pick up my camera. Anyway, here goes.

Pulled pork. (Bad photo. CEO took it). The pork was finally done after 11hrs. It stalled at 174F for nearly 3 hrs. I got it to 200F & let it rest for 45 mins. The CEO pulled it, & she said it just fell apart. I'm happy.

This is the first batch of tandoori chicken my mate brought along. Tasted sublime. Really happy with it. (Just see the PP to the left).

First batch if rib-eyes, rested, & heading to the table.

The table is laid, & everyone is digging in. (The beans in bacon & cider were beautiful. Well done the CEO).

Friends having fun!

And this is what was left of the 30 king scallops! I guess the chef was too late getting back in the house. Aaargh!

Anyway, it was a great day, great fun & everyone "wobbled" home with big belly's.

Thank you for looking.
