You see them a lot on the cooking show being used by the pros.

Sign up to https://thermapen.co.uk/ they will mail when they have a "open box sale". I've had a classic for years (with silicone cover), it's fantastic for instant read. Also got a Meater too similarly fantastic but different tools for different jobs.
Signed up cheers.

Was looking for ideas and came across this on the Traeger app. Not sure I'll do it as I can't be that precise 😂😂

The obvious solution is to have a special vessel made that had exactly that volume. Otherwise the food will be ruined.

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Unzippbae.

If I hadn't just eaten take-away (including a Schnitzza god help me) for the last ten days I'd be making an appointment to visit. But I'll give my arteries until 2022 to recover :D

As mentioned in a previous thread, I smoked a 2.5kg turkey breast on Crimbo day which was delicious. When it's finished I whacked the temp up to 450f and did a saddle of wild venison stuffed with cognac soaked fruit.

Just had some left over turkey in a Thai red curry and could still taste the smokey flavour through the rich spicy sauce.

I also have a pork and game meatloaf to smoke as well as a stuffed turkey thigh cushion to do as well. Lovely to have the off to be able to indulge!

Talking of which, I have hoovered up an obscene amount of chocolate in the last few days and feel like a proper porker. Need to start running again 😂

I’ve been trying pizza on the kettle on a pizza stone. First time, coals directly underneath, stone got plenty hot but not hot enough above to melt the cheese and cook the dough properly before the base was crisped up. Second attempt, coals to the sides, pizza stone raised up to be nearer the dome and reflected heat, stone didn’t get hot enough at all so reverted to the oven indoors! It must be possible!
