They are advertising for the cookers/smokers but holy cow the dude makes some mouthwatering dishes. @Rab I figured a tag wouldn't go astray.

I'm pretty sure I'll be watching a lot of these videos and trying some out for myself. I only have a 3 plate, 6 burner bbq with a wok burner but I reckon I could pull some of it off.

Try smoking a trout or snapper on it with a smoker box. (Gas on low up the other end to keep it cool) Once I tried that on the gas bbq there was no going back https://www.barbequesgalore.com.au/bar-b-chef-stainless-steel-smoker-box-with-lid-bcsmbss edit: link for Franklin https://www.youtube.com/user/BBQwithFranklin?app=desktop (was too late to edit original post) Edited 06/02/17 10:16 AM by Rab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cooked a spicy onion marinated lamb shoulder a couple of months back along with a couple of lamb racks. I did just as you said and had the tray at the opposite end from the heat. I have a thermocouple attachment on my multimeter so I managed to get the heat right. After 3 to 4 hours at 150c they came out quite good. I'll definitely look into a smoking box as gas doesn't provide a smoke flavour apart from the smoking remnants of the last few cooks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise some of the hickory chips from a BBQ shop are also a great starter. Mesquite chips for steak add a nice extra dimension to steak and beef Did 20 racks of lamb ribs for the blokes I had round for the Mundine fight on Friday and they were bloody fantastic.

My local trees are mainly gum and pine. I suspect I will be buying wood chips for smoking but that is ok. It's funny that I'm almost 40 and have only really just discovered the joys of smoked and slow cooked meats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruit trees are fantastic, aussie hardwoods or even grapevines or (untreated) wine/bourbon/whiskey barrel chips. Nothing wrong with the store bought chips either Edited 06/02/17 10:53 AM by Rab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lot of free pine last year to burn in my indoor open fire and it doesn't smell that great. I do however have some lemon tree wood and plum tree wood so that might be worth trying out.
