to be going to 'Glasto'? :-(
We're all awfully old, now.
I'm rustling up some bloody lovely food most weekends on my Landmann (4-hour apple smoked baby back ribs on Saturday), but I am finding the heat management a bit of a pain in the hole.
So am I correct to say you claim you can do a proper long smoke with just ONE chimney of lumpwood on your Kamodo?
I'm finding I have to add another chimney's worth every hour or so - and I'm using the expensive stuff.
I was going to experiment with briquettes instead as they burn for longer.
Big block lumpwood charcoal, restaurant grade. This is a must. A good digital thermometer with two probes, one for the temperature in the dome (the built in one is useless) and one for the food. Experiment with temperature control, that's your most important skill.
Most shop-bought rubs and barbecue sauces are ridiculously sweet. Make your own.

Don't try to be a smartarse like the bignosed ****. You neeed patience and practice :thumbup:
Spend a few hours on the Amazingribs.com website. It really is a fantastic resource and every recipe I've followed from there has come out bang on.
Your first port of call should be to get 'two-zone cooking' licked. That's the fundamental technique that will result in great food.
It's all to do with the Divide 'n Conquer flexible cooking system, the ceramic heat deflector plates and the tiny amount of burning required to heat the ceramic body of the beast. Plus the special shape.
If you have the a look at the Kamado Joe youtube channel, John Setzler will explain everything to you.
You're deeply insecure about your lack of a Kamado Joe, aren't you? You know that this is just another way in which you have failed to be a real man. I would like to reassure you on this point, but, you know... you just keep pussying around with your Landmann. :hehe:
Without wishing to be vulgar, which of these packages did you go for?

Hope the decking will hold out!
Worth getting this? https://www.bbq-barn.co.uk/product/K...ic-iKamand.php
That's the shop I got mine from. It's about 10 minutes from my house.
I've been looking at the iKamand but it's taking all the fun out of it, isn't it? The joy of spending all day monitoring the temperature, changing your vent settings fractionally... it's an art, noit a science.

I've just looked through the previous line ups and reckon I stopped going regularly in 1998.
I've been back a couple of times since and realised that if you are - not with a gang of mates and are not absolutely mashed and unless it is perfectly dry weather - it really isn't worth going.
Ah, still, the early 90s :cloud9:
It all started going to shít when they put the fences up, of course.
