Bought a Cadac curved smoker box for my Cobb. It’s a good size:
When we lived in Germany we used to eat a lot of kasler. It’s a firm family favourite but so expensive over here. The Cobb works as an excellent smoker.
I wanted a low/slow cook so only used 7 Australian heat beads. I soaked Apple wood chips in water for about an hour before filling the smoke box and placing it on the coals (you can put your chips in a foil pouch and stab small holes in it if you don’t have a box).
Just left it with the Cobb air vents only slightly open. Can’t remember how long it took but let it rest when it’s temperature got to 70C. It was gorgeous.
Today I bought a pork shoulder joint and am going to soak it overnight in an apple and garlic brine. Then smoke it but using the Cobb rotisserie this time. Wil go for a lower/slower cook with less coals and replenish half way through with fresh/greyed coals started in a charcoal chimney.
