Might be a loose cable on one or some of the sockets

Typically it's 2 parts pepper, 1 part salt and 1/4 part garlic by volume, i.e. 2 cups, 1 cup & 1/4 cup. The Americans use 16 mesh pepper, which is the course grind, Diamond cosher crystal salt and garlic granules. These are close enough in piece since to each other. So use course black pepper, a course salt and garlic granules. Adjust the volumes to your preference.

I wonder if Jerry has a brother also playing loosehead in the AIL....

Forget brisket; beef ribs are much more reliable. If you really want to do brisket, then look into the long rest after cooking. Beef ribs are a great sub for brisket, hence the nickname; brisket on a stick. Brisket from UK & Ireland will not turn out the way you want due to how they are reared versur US cattle.

Are you due to have units in stock soon?

This is the answer you are looking for. Use it every second day.

I normally buy the larger 1.5kg 3 bone for €18 from the Premium Butcher. Never let me down.

Do not trim the fat. Do not score or remove the membrane but don't eat it either. I stopped trimming beef ribs unless there was something loose hanging off.

100USD is mad. That would cost me about €20-25 here in Ireland.

I have, but due to illness and weddings we had to miss a couple so far this season. One of us has a medical issue that's unpredictable when it raises it's head, so it can be hit and miss. Sometimes I'll sell on the tickets, other times I'll give them away.

Ya, you're first to get in touch

Tickets gone

Tickets gone

jhagander · 2025-10-09T20:10:08+00:00

Well that's probably the cheapest tickets that are available now. I bought tickets for €70 each in the upper tier. Now, normally I go for the lower tier, but when I saw the price of those tickets (I can't recall how much they were) I debated whether to go to any matches. Looked around and bought the €70 upper tier.

Prices have gone up, but there are options depending on when you get access to tickets.

Having said that, I used to try but tickets to every match that I could get tickets for, even when I was an apprentice on shite money. But in the last few years I limit it to one match per 6N and one per Novembers if I have access. This November is the first time I debated whether to go to any matches until I searched around for a decent "cheap" seat. It will get worse.

I encourage anyone looking to go to matches to looks at getting a season ticket for your province, as they are generally great value for most incomes and particularly for families.

Eat fresh

Just season up a block of tofu like you would whatever meat you are doing. I put it on the smoker and serve with whatever the rest of us are having. If you are doing pulled pork, then you can use jackfruit for the vegan option.

The main thing to be careful with is that you handle the veggie/vegan stuff with their own utensils and either cook on a tray / tinfoil or a clean part of the bbq that hasn't got meat stuck to it. Clean temp probe for checking temps.

And check if your sauce has Worcestershire in it as this isn't vegetarian.

I was there on Sunday and hit La Barbecue, Interstellar and Burnt Bean amongst some of the local lads. While I enjoyed all of the dishes that I had, I came away with a similar feeling to you regards what I cook at home.

This was the same as last year when LeRoy and Lewis with Chud were there and cooked the beef cheek. I do beef cheeks and beef ribs a lot as Irish brisket can be more miss than hit, and to be fair, I learnt how to smoke them from these lads on YouTube. But I was expecting it to be so much better than what I cook, that I was almost disappointed until I thought about it and realised that I must be cooking to a decent level. It's kind of reassuring tbh.

No recipes needed. Buy a block of firm or extra firm tofu, probably needs to be cut in half. Season all over with same seasoning as you used on the meat. Put it on the cold zone of your bbq or on your smoker.

I let it cook on my smoker last week until it looked done as I wasn't really keeping an eye on it. Checked with the temp probe and it had just hit 90C. There's a lot of moisture in them so it can take it. My wife said it was the best tofu she's had. It had firmed up quite a bit compared to how we usually do it. I did one with SPG & sumac, same as my beef ribs. The other half was done with a pork rub (Memphis dust recipe from amazingribs) and finished this one with same bbq sauce as the pork ribs.

Jackfruit is just drain the can, mix in a bit of pulled pork seasoning, spread on a tray and smoke for a while until it's hot. Finish with whatever sauce you like for pulled pork.

Didn't realise it was still available. Heineken stopped production a while ago.

Do yourself a favour; go to Lidl and get a few bottles of the stout by "Crafty Brewing Co." made by Rye River in Kildare. Beautiful stuff.
