With the Halloumi cheese make sure its non australian. Reason, the Australian version is from cows milk and has alot of added salt. Some versions have added herbs.
The official version is sheep/goat milk though a bit salty not as horrible as the Australian version
Here you go Kallen no turning back now, I have about 15 heat beads in that tray,
I also have another rack I can put on top of that one if I need higher temps.
IMO better to do it as slow as possible I can always put more heat beads on.
when the beads are all grey I'll put another tray of wet chips on top and see how that goes.
Only thing is I forgot to take the pork out of the freezer lol plenty of knives here ha ha
Getting excited now, this Havia smoker seems to work ok, yeah happy man atm
forgot the pics doh
According to the Havia site I atleast have the fire right, above that is a flat plate for the chips,
on that is another plate to catch the juices, then the wire rack with the thermometer on it.
I cant see how 15 heat beads will get the "chip plate" hot enough to start smoking. I'll figure it out. the receptionist at my Doctors is full of info
about smoking lol
what you see is the juice tray I have since put the chip tray underneath
this should get ya taste buds working overload hot smoke camenbier,pork belly and then a pic of the smoker full..why waste smoke hey.these pics are from my mate and not mine either..
here ya go,fresh from the smoke shack
mine hasnt even started smoking yet, and yes they look like food for thr Gods
I take it thats a bee's knees electric smoker??
LATE EDIT;; doesn't even look like the chips will start smoking, think I need a bigger fire ohh yeah
Yea I don't think that's going to enough for a long burn. But will get you to 150+ degrees.
And they'll take a while to lite like that to. I use the snake method and a chimney lighter for the beads. Takes 15 mind to get 6 beads glowing and then you place them at the start of the snake.
But see how you go.
It's all trial and error mate
I'm going to make a frame or another hot plate that I can
slide in and have the heat beads closer to the chips.
Other than that I need to start a wood fire, and its easier to control heat with the beads
Make a basket mate that has a devision on it so you can make a snake in it. Then you just load up according to how long you plan to cook for and slide it in. Keep it about an inch off the base, and make your devision wide enough so beads on the other side won't lite.
I get good temps out of a 5 bead snake. (2x2 and one on top)
