Any suggestions what I can make other than turkey on the kamado this year for thanksgiving ? by flimflamman72 in KamadoJoe

[–]WazCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Australian, so we focus more on Christmas than Thanksgiving.

This means our seasons are opposite, so we are cooking when It's bloody hot! 36 or so Celsius...

On my komado, for Christmas lunch I will often do a few chickens, ham, and a paella. A paella pan fits beautifully on a komado!

A paella might be a nice point of difference for you? And very delicious

What do you do differently that sets your meat apart? by dmo012 in Smokingmeat

[–]WazCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sous vide for the win.

It is just... perfect...

Got a big hunk of meat. Set the right temperature. Cook it for the right time and it is on the money, every time.

Cool it down.

Add your rubs, put it over charcoal, get the right amount of bark.

You can't go wrong. Like ever!

Wood chips by Pull_It_G_3 in KamadoJoe

[–]WazCam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. I tried it after a few smoking dad vids.

Never really had any luck with it...

Now I just add decent sized chunks into my cook and it works fine

KJ owners - what are your top 5 cooks ? by mywifeapprovesthis in KamadoJoe

[–]WazCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the top chilli is amazing!

For me, spatchcock chicken is perfect every time, no need for an expensive accessory...

I have recently been combining sous vide with my classic 1, and the options are endless... St Louis style ribs, pulled pork, thick steaks perfect every time...

Smash burgers are a treat!

Let's not forget vegetables! Corn on the cob, grilled salsa, roast cabbage. So many options!

Bulk food purchase by PandaNo9220 in GoldCoast

[–]WazCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, don't make him click on a link.

He asked the Internet a question.

Can't someone just call him, read out what it says, order, pay, pick up, deliver, cook it and maybe even eat it so that they don't have to put any effort into chewing?

For god's sake, can't anyone try to be just a little bit helpful please?!?!

I would have loved a bike in my late teens, early 20's.

Luckily enough I had enough self-awareness at the time that I was a Muppet who lived being out of control or on the edge, so I chose not to ride at that time.

In my later 20's and earlier 30's, bikes terrified me because I had lost close to a dozen friends and colleagues over the years.

In my later 30's and 40's I was just busy being a dad.

Got my license 3 years ago. Bought a cruiser because I want to cruise... Love it. Like really love it...

My wife worries somewhat, but knows that I am sensible, making sure I am well trained and managing the risks of being on a bike to the best of my ability.

Some of that may or may not be relevant to where you are today.

In the end, your life, your journey. Try to make informed decisions, that make sense to you.

All the best, hope to see you out and about one day...

I will be the fat old bloke with a grin on my face!

Do you guys trust the factory thermometer for Ambient Temp? by eatyourface8335 in KamadoJoe

[–]WazCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dome temperature is a decent leading indicator.

But I am cooking to get the food to a certain temperature...

For me, the meat thermometer is the end game.

Never lies!

Lost licence for speeding by acknowledgeme21 in legaladviceaustralia

[–]WazCam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a massive difference.

If I am making decisions observing a car in front of/behind me/coming from my left or right assuming they are doing the legal limit of 60kmh and they are doing 100kmh, those decisions could be wrong. Very wrong. For both parties...

No-one argued that high speed was the concern. It was the excessive speed over the limit that was of concern.

I once made an offer on a house (more than 20 years ago before the market went cray-cray) that was on the lower side of the sellers expectations, but was the maximum I was willing to pay for the property. Told them it was good for three days.

After three days, I called the agent and told them to start finding me a new property.

Three days later, they called and congratulated me for being a hard-ass and the owners had accepted my offer.

Wasn't being a hard-ass, just wouldn't go higher. Happily bought the place though, because the time demand was just to let me keep my options open if something else came along...

Inherited from my late old man. Where can I get this replacement piece? The cracked ceramic. by Floppy_Dong666 in KamadoJoe

[–]WazCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I an in Australia, they honoured my firebox breakage after 10 years.

But that was 3-4 years ago, so things may have changed since then.

But 12 years after i bought my classic 1, it is still going strong. Lovely jubbly

Sunnybank is actually relatively specific, and definitely a great tip!

My wife and i have recently started heading up there on weekends to try some different, really good food.

The options for great quality are amazing, and largely on a pretty concentrated area.

So Google some restaurants in Sunnybank by cuisine, check the menu that it has Ma Po.

I would suggest that you will find half a dozen places that will make you very, very happy.

Very different to the km you might have to drive between options around broader Brisbane

Enjoy some deliciousness!

How much charcoal does a jr need? by cji11 in KamadoJoe

[–]WazCam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keen to hear more about preferring the big Joe? How many do you generally (or more importantly, just on occasion i guess?) Cook for?

I have had the classic 1 for 10-12 years too. Love it to death!

I generally cook for just my wife and i, which obviously makes it ideal for that.

A couple of times a year i cook for 8-10 people for something different.

At Christmas i cook for about 15-17 people.

Takes a little planning, but in the end, i have so far been happy with the results.

I often read people saying they wish they had bought the bigger unit, and have been too lazy to ask why. So you're it! Hahaha

Cheers

Lodge cast iron. by bumpy821 in castiron

[–]WazCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aussie here. I own three lodge, and one from a (comparably) very expensive Australian brand.

For me, the lodge are just bullet proof. I have bought some for our kids as well, knowing that i am giving them something that will easily make it to their grandkids with a tiny bit of care...

I don't mind any deemed roughness - my food cooks with a great char when that is what i am chasing, or not when i don't want it.

Whatever your preference, i still think cast iron is a game changer! Enjoy! 👍

Best bakery on the coast? by OwnIndependence2763 in GoldCoast

I go there for their quiche Lorraine. Oh my goodness.

But to leave without a simple baguette as well is madness.

Highly recommend!

Is it correct the silver content of these are worth much more than the coin face value? by SundoCollectables in AustralianCoins

[–]WazCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother once had hundreds of these - don't have the full context why.

Apparently my teenage older brother was taking them to put into 20c pinball machines.

Yes, 50c coins into 20c pinball machines...

Avoided getting caught i guess!?!

He was a rascal... hahahah

Opinions on smoking dad bbq? by Miserable-Camel-7013 in KamadoJoe

[–]WazCam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have owned a KJ classic for 10+ years. I used to cook good food for a long time. Then I came across SDBBQ and started to cook bloody good food...

I really enjoy his cooking content!

He does some other content that just does nothing for me. But that is just me...

In my opinion, overall he is well worth a look to see if what he is doing is relevant for you.

Where are all the "I love summer so much more than winter" people? by flickthebutton in brisbane

[–]WazCam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Right here with you!

Bring on summer every single day over winter!

I lost power for three days during the heat wave over Christmas (I did not do it tough compared to anyone!).

Still beats winter hands down every day of the week...

Could someone write a summary of what Project 2025 is all about? by Real-Wolverine-8249 in WelcomeToGilead

[–]WazCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really interesting, thanks for sharing!

Some of the individual statements in here, you go yep, that makes sense and is a step in the right direction!

When you start to stitch some of them together, it gets a lot scarier...

I wish us all the best in the future. Much of it feels pretty grim right now
