    Fantastic about taking two weeks, going on that it will hopefully arrive the week of the 11th

    Once you get your shipping confirmation, you can check out marine tracker sites to see how it’s travelling. I think it will stop in Singapore then onto freo. Mine managed to get a earlier transfer from Singapore and so came early. I am sure it came even less than 2 weeks. I just had to make sure I didn’t have too much on that week so I could stay at home for delivery. Customs took 1day.

  6. Jarrah side table

    in Jokes, Ribbin' & Misc Banter!

    Nice job, almost looks like walnut but, I assume it's not indigenous to Austrailia

    Jarrah is native to the south west of Western Australia. It gives red and pink hues in terms of colour. The old stuff is very heavy. New Forrest growth is still heavy but not as bad as the old Forrest stuff.
    This timber was shipped to the uk to be used as rail sleepers. Each sleeper would weight over 100kg and some sizes 150kg. Even after 100 years these untreated sleepers are ok.
    In Australia we use them as floorboards, roofing, jetty’s, decking etc. people recycle them. The legs on the table were from power pole attachments - also 50-60 years old. Still great condition but greyed due to weather.

  8. Rotisserie for Picanha

    in Techniques

    Posted

    Any updates on this?  I have a BB32 on the way.  Hoping to make Picanha for my wife, as it is her favorite.  I bough the basket and reducers.

    I ended up getting a roti spit so did it on that

    Try what Aussie said and put it through a skewer and then into the cradle.

    Either way it turn out great

  10. Jarrah side table

    in Jokes, Ribbin' & Misc Banter!

    Finally finished off a side table for the KK. It’s not quite the quality of Dennis teak work though.

     

    I had some leftover jarrah slabs from a buffet table I made. I sanded this down and filled the imperfections. I nice satin varnish bought out the red and pinks in the jarrah slabs.

     

    The legs are old jarrah power posts. These had aged badly so I had to cut it back by a few mm. The jarrah was a reddish brown. Again that was varnished. These post are old jarrah and were super heavy.

     

    Jarrah is a hard word and working with it can be hard due to the weight and hardness. I love the colour though.

     Anybody out there want to slightly used jar of Vegemite?

    Bruce, you can try another iconic Aussie thing. It’s called the Tim Tam slam. Tim Tams are a tasty chocolate biscuit. Take a small bite out of the opposite corners of the biscuit. Dunk the biscuit into your tea or coffee and use the biscuit like a straw. Eat the biscuit before it gets soggy. You need to be quick otherwise the Tim Tam will devolve.

    Guarantee you that this is better tasting that vegemite.

    ...and the answer is paella on the BB32 whilst the 23 is cooking a roadkill, just in case the guests are extra hungry.

    The roadkill is almost done while finishing with a bit of socarrat. Nailed it!

    My Vegemite is still sitting on the shelf unopened. I’m not to excited to taste it now after all negative press it’s been getting

    Give it a shot Bruce. I have many friends and family that love it.

  25. Brisket

    The brisket turned out awesome. It has a nice bark and was so juicy.

    I didn’t take many snaps and it got eaten quickly. So some terrible pictures follow

    Some lessons learnt... I got a whole packer. The flat on the end although still juicy was dryer than the other side. I used a pizza tray as a deflector. Normally I use foil. Next time:
    -put in drip pan. At 1:30am in morning I forgot. I had dripping leak through the gas port and bottom vents.
    - I would put foil underneath at the two ends especially at the flat end. That would help with keeping it more moist. Or even put a foil boat on the flat

    All in all it was really really good and I was happy with ir. The family loved it. Was very moist and beautiful Smokey flavour. I had a nice smoke ring too.

    I did have a little leftover which will be used to make pies.
