So look at thirteen proteins. 47 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: I won't go into every single one of them, but 48 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: basically vackpack to plate on every protein. So it's thirteen 49 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: cooks across six different barbecues. So really busy day, but 50 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: it was very rewarding. I had fourteen, you know, which 51 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: is my maximum number for that class basically, but fourteen 52 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: very engaged people who were at my door at about 53 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: six twenty in the morning and didn't leave to about 54 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: quarter to seven in the evening. So by the time 55 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: we wrapped the class up and had a bit of 56 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: a Q and A and a bit of banter. But 57 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: it was awesome, Like I love cooking that many proteins. 58 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: It's such a challenge in itself, and obviously got to 59 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: teach the guys how to do each one as well, 60 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: so it was good to see them probing like butter, 61 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: you know, actually probing a brisket that is genuinely like butter, 62 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: and just seeing the light bulbs go on going, Oh, actually, 63 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: I've pulled up two hours short with my brisket pretty 64 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: much every time. So yeah, very rewarding class for me. 65 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: Had an absolute blast. How about yourself, Well, we know. 66 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: I did, but I just now have this mental image. 67 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: I've just started watching her the new season of My 68 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: Kitchen Rules, so now I've got this mental image of 69 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: like fourteen people waiting outside your house to ring the 70 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: doorbell at exactly like six. 71 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: So it was really interesting, so I said to him, 72 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: ten up at six twenty six s thirty sharp. Heather 73 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: went out to get some ice in the morning, as 74 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: she always does from the garage, just to feel like 75 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: the chili bin, and she said, she came back and 76 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: there was a queue of people outside the house waiting 77 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: to ring on the doorbell just. 78 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: Before six twenty. 79 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: That was quite funny. And then someone did and then 80 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: I was letting them in as she came in. But yeah, 81 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: it was great, mate. I just I just love running 82 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: that class because it is so detailed and quite a 83 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: challenge for me as well. You know, with multiple cooks, 84 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: you got to sort of have your wits about you. 85 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, I love it, absolutely love it. 86 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: So I think, as we mentioned last time, I borrowed 87 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,559 Speaker 2: you a big pit the big offset, the trailer off set, 88 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: the mumbro and myself and me which Thomas who is 89 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: part of the Beginning's team. We went and stood it, 90 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: you know, hung out at the back of Mapari Meats 91 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: and cooked up eighty kilos of pork shoulder on Saturday, 92 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: which was actually, do you know what, We're in the 93 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: back car park, but I haven't a I've not cooked. 94 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: I've never actually cooked, just didn't. Just with two of 95 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: us on a trailer offset that big. That was my 96 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: first time on a massive, massive offset. I've cooked on offsets, 97 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 2: but they've always been a lot smaller and it's been 98 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: a while since I cooked on like wood, you know, 99 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: normally we're in drums and very different stuff like that 100 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: on charcoal beds with a little bit of wood for flavor. 101 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: But you know, running the fire and you know Mitch, 102 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: Mitch certainly loves running the fire. Took he took on 103 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 2: that role of keeping it going and all that kind 104 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: of thing. But it was just great fun, actually spending 105 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: literally we were like, well, we're here for the next 106 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 2: eight hours and let's go, like, just got speaker out, 107 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: got some chairs. Luckily, Burkeye from Burkey's Barbecue was doing 108 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: a hot dog cook out the front of a pari 109 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 2: meat so we were kept well fed rich chucked about. 110 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: I chucked us about thirty sausages at the beginning of 111 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: the day and told us just to chuck them on 112 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 2: as well, so we had some beautifully smoked mystery sausages 113 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: because he couldn't remember what the meats were in there, 114 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: so we cooked all them for him and he cut 115 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: them up, so we said it. We had a great day. 116 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: It was just a lot of fun and ended up 117 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 2: I was eight whole shoulders, so each of those shoulders 118 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: starts off at about ten kilos something like that, and 119 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: I took the money muscles off them because I want 120 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 2: those for competition next year. So I ended up taking 121 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 2: a little bit of that one, but that was literally it. 122 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: And then we just threw you know, the old metrics 123 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 2: shit of soft cock from Rum and Q on the 124 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: on the butts, like literally straight out of the bucket 125 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: into onto the butts and bang them on and it 126 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: was nice and simple. That pit runs so well. We 127 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: had it running. There's like three temperature For people who 128 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: haven't seen that pit, it's what's the gallon and edge 129 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: on it. 130 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: It's like a three hundred and fifty gallons. 131 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, three and fifty gallon pit. So it's got three 132 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: sections and a massive insulated firebox and a huge chimney, right, 133 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: And so we had like four butts in the first 134 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: two sections, and then later on when we wrapped them, 135 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: we kind of pushed them up a bit and we 136 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: ran that thing like at three seventy five in the 137 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: firebox and about three twenty five in the middle to 138 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: three point fifty and like three hundred at the far end, 139 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 2: and it just sits there all day and it was great. 140 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 2: And as soon as when you see it start to 141 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: go down, you're like, oh, must need a log and 142 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: then you chuck one log on and it goes straight 143 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: back up and here it is. 144 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: I mean that the irony of offset cooking is people 145 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: think the bigger, the bigger it is, the harder it issues. 146 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: But it's actually the opposite, you know, it's a bit. 147 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: It's a bit like you know, briskets, small briskets are 148 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: the hardest to cook versus big briskets, right, But yeah, 149 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: that thing. All the technology is in that firebox, right, 150 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: and it just holds tem like a dream like. It's 151 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: definitely the easiest pit I've ever used, which is why 152 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: I ended up buying it. So it's just awesome. 153 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: I was literally like, I need a three hundred and 154 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: fifty gallon offset now, which I don't, but i'd need 155 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: one fifty gallon offset trailer pit. But what I learned 156 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 2: something new. I love learning new stuff, and I learned 157 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: that if you were just the height on the jockey wheel, 158 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 2: you change the temperature in like you change how the 159 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 2: temperature sits. 160 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: I told you that, Okay, yeah, no, so yeah, so 161 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: if you drop the jockey wheel down, you can run 162 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: hot and fast near the firebox and low and slow 163 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: near the chimney. So I've had it. I think the 164 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: most I've had it at is about four point fifty 165 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: on the firebox side and just under three hundred on 166 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: the chimney side with the jockey wheel fully down. So yeah, 167 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: it's really good because you can just you can grill 168 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: chicken and smoke briskets at the same time. It's quite clever. Yeah, 169 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: it's really And that's why I won't have a reverse 170 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: flow offset because you can't do that with a reverse flow. 171 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: So if you have a straight through you can actually 172 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: manipulate the temperature much, you know, much more effectively. 173 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: I found that that was pretty interesting.

Ribs won by 217 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: a team called Freddy's Barbecue. Now Freddy's Barbecue is a 218 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: lad called Freddy. He'd never done a comp before, jumped 219 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 2: in did ribs, ran a very basic flavor profile apparently 220 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 2: at a supermarket barbecue. Sauce smashed it. Well done, I mate, 221 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 2: I picked up first place in your first competition in ribs. 222 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: That's pretty epic, I would say. And there were some 223 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 2: good rib cooks there, do you know what I mean? 224 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 2: I was like, well, that's very interesting. Just shows you 225 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: it is about texture over flavor. Even though you get 226 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: more points for flavor, I still believe you cook a 227 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: brilliant protein. You're going to do well. Yeah. Absolutely, And 228 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: of course he did you so rom and Cue, so 229 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 2: that obviously helped him out as well. Pork another good 230 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: result for smoky fish barbecue, first place in that as well, 231 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: and they did pretty well in ribs too, so they 232 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 2: must have been thinking they are on for the GC 233 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 2: for this one. Brisket up pops Troy Bilbra from rendered 234 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: took out brisket so RGC with four top ten calls 235 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 2: out the great well done to the Brunswicks. Capped off 236 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: another great day for them, a good weekend, a good 237 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 2: decision to go down to Canterbury GC rendered Troy Bilbra 238 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: well done. That's another one for him this year. He 239 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 2: has been on fire and I felt sorry for Scott. 240 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 2: And we'll talk to Scott in a couple of shows times. 241 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: We've got Scott coming on maybe actually next show it 242 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: might be I'm going to talk to him about this 243 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 2: because he did very well obviously perfect score. Chicken did 244 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: well in ribs. I think he trophied in ribs, might 245 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 2: have been third. He won pork and ended up I 246 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: think third place overall, third or fourth, and the reason 247 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: was his brisket bomb, so he was like second to last. 248 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: I think in brisket someone like that two thirty two. 249 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: So it just shows you you can be first, third, first, 250 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 2: but you need that consistency. I'd have been gutted Scott. 251 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: He's a resilient guy. I'm sure he'll bounce back, and 252 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: he was on good form When I was chatting to him. 253 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: I read something that he didn't make the hand in window. 254 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: Is that the one that was the other Scott Scott 255 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: Matthews missed the from carbon addiction, missed the brisket hand 256 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: in windows, so just scored all ones. That's the penalty 257 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: for that one. 258 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 3: I know. 259 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: I always wanted him about that on Sunday and he 260 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: was sick about it. So won't make that mistake again though, 261 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 2: will you? 262 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: Unlucky Sky, Unlucky Sky, Yeah, well both Scotts, Yeah. 263 00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: I only do it once right.

Now give the people what they 312 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: came here for and it is time for just the tip. 313 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: Well, actually, mate, this week I'm going to talk about 314 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about a little sauce that I 315 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: use quite often on on barbecue. And I guess everyone's 316 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: heard of a bit of a grim lata, which you 317 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: normally put on osbuco, But I've just done a bit 318 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: of a hybrid one, which is a bit more saucy 319 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: rather than a dry sort of sprinkle. So yeah, gramma 320 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: lata my way. I use a whole bunch of Italian 321 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: flat leaf parsley, and I just dice that up really 322 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: really fine, crush five cloves of garlic, and then the 323 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: juice of two whole fresh lemons, half a teaspoon of 324 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: black pepper, one teaspoon of salt you can use sort 325 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: of marlbro sea salt or humal and pink salt, either either, 326 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 1: and then about three quarters of a cup of olive 327 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: oil and give that a really really good mix. And 328 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: I like to leave that just sitting on the side 329 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: for at least three or four hours so those flavors 330 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: can infuse. But I can tell you that, you know, 331 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: if you want something that's slightly different to a chimmy chury. 332 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: When you add acid obviously to barbecue meat, you know, 333 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: anything fatty, it's incredible, So don't be scared of lemon 334 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: goes really good on lambrecks, goes really good on pecana, 335 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: goes really good on brisket. So look, if you want 336 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: a little sauce with a bit of acid to elevate 337 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: your barbecue food, give that little gramma lata a go. 338 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: Well. Yeah, there's a good reason why pickles go really 339 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: well with barbecue and all that kind of stuff while 340 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: they get served on every platter in the States, because 341 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: it does need that acid to cut through. 342 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: Absolutely. 343 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: And in fact, I was watching I said earlier, I 344 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 2: was watching the new series of My Kitchen Rules, and 345 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: on the very first one, the two brothers and they 346 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 2: did beef shorties on a couple of webers, and the 347 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 2: criticism they got was that there wasn't any acid to 348 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: cut through. There wasn't enough in their coal slaw that 349 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 2: they did and they had like a coliflower cheese dish, 350 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 2: so it was all kind of quite saany, even though 351 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 2: they did a really good cook on those BAF ribs. 352 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting, like I do shy away from 353 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: things like mac and cheese and creamy coulestals with barbecue, 354 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: Like I know, they kind of like the dune thing, 355 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: but I don't know, just too much fat. I'd sooner 356 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: have an Asian slaw, you know, or a plate of pickles, 357 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: or you know, just anything that's more acidic than creamy 358 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: for me. 359 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, even like I do it, Like I unashamedly love 360 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: creamy mayonnaise potato salad, but with barbecue. It's actually really 361 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 2: nice to have that oil and vinegar potato salad, you know, 362 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 2: like a vinegarette potato salad rather than a creamy mayo one. Yeah, 363 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 2: but you know, I do understand because I also love 364 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 2: a creamy mayo potato salad. 365 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: Like yeah, no, I we we like that for sure. 366 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: Like Heather makes an absolute banger of a South African 367 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: potato salad which is mayo and egg but it has 368 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: got pickles in it, you see, So there's a bit. 369 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: Of you go, I loveckles. 370 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, dice pickles and a potato salad. 371 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 2: It's amazing, really really good.

You know, we've 417 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 2: seen you around a little bit. I bumped into you 418 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 2: in Taranaki earlier on in the year we happened to 419 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 2: be dining at the same establishment. It was. It was 420 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 2: very good and I'll admit I'm I am not that 421 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 2: familiar with pellets and pellet grills that much. I've cooked 422 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 2: on one at a comp in Aussie where I did 423 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 2: did use a pellet grill, and I'm quite fascinated by them. 424 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: So I think the first thing I want to do, like, 425 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 2: can we go back. Let's go back in time a 426 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 2: little bit and give us a little bit of history 427 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: of Trager and how how it all kind of came 428 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 2: in to be. 429 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: So. 430 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 4: Trager in the United States was started by a guy 431 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 4: Cole Joe Tragger out of frustration by burning a chick 432 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 4: on his gas grill, which he proceeded to boot off 433 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 4: of his deck. And he'd been looking at pellet fires 434 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 4: and was playing around with some ideas in his head 435 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 4: and figured that he could turn a grill into a 436 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 4: pellet fed machine using a therma couple for temperature management. 437 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 4: So that was thirty years ago, yeah, back in nineteen 438 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 4: eighty five, and by the time nineteen eighty six had rolled. 439 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 2: Forty years ago nearly that isn't it. 440 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 4: Oh yeah wow, yeah. So nineteen eighty six he was 441 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 4: granted his first patent and that machine had a pretty 442 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 4: rudimentary controller in it, so it was much like the 443 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 4: analog controller that the Pro twenty two has, except it 444 00:24:54,080 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 4: just had low medium in high heat. So from there 445 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 4: he was developing and extending the range a little bit, 446 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 4: you know, added in digital temperature control in an ash 447 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 4: removal system, and he sort of kept along with that, 448 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 4: and then in two thousand and sixty sold to some 449 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 4: venture capitalists and then they've they've taken that to where 450 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 4: Trager is today. 451 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 2: It was was were there pellet grills before Trager or 452 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 2: did he kind of invent the pellet grill? 453 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 4: No, from the literature I've been reading online, Treger was 454 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 4: thelamural pellet grill in the market and is now the 455 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 4: world leader in pellet grill sales. 456 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: You definitely think think of them as the big boys, 457 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 2: right Trager or the daddies of the pellet world. Yeah, 458 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of that. That's the image I 459 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: have of them all the time. It's kind of like 460 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: buying a Ford almost, you know, it's the Ford Ranger 461 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: of you know, it's just it's ubiquitous with that thing. 462 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: You know, it's almost like it's not quite like Hoover 463 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 2: where you couldn't say I'm just going to trigger it 464 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: but close, Yeah, that's too far off. 465 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, you know, trager nation is the is the buzzword, 466 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 4: and if you've got to trag, you a part of 467 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 4: that community. 468 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: And mate, let's talk about some of the myths of 469 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: pellet grills because. 470 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 4: There are a few. Yeah, yeah, and we've had some chance, 471 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 4: and I'm sure you've run into and spelled some of 472 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 4: them yourself with the tragg you've got at home. But 473 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 4: I think that the biggest one is about grilling in 474 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 4: high temp. I mean, the mid reaction happens around that 475 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 4: sort of three hundred fahrenheit mark, and tragers go all 476 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 4: the way up to five hundred fahrenheit, which is definitely 477 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 4: hold enough to grill. And see her On Simon and 478 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 4: trade barbecue. My friend Richard did a cook for us 479 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 4: when I was up north and it might attend wis 480 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 4: skate on the weekend. And what they'd done to reverse 481 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 4: there is some steaks was put in a cast iron 482 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 4: plate in the tragger and just crank it up. Simon 483 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 4: uploaded some stuff to his story and you could definitely 484 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 4: hear that sizzle you coming from the plate. So yeah, 485 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 4: you can definitely get a tragger hov enough to grill, 486 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 4: and sir on that's also why we're trying to get 487 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 4: away from the terminology of people calling them smokers and 488 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 4: to refer to them as wood fired grills because they 489 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 4: go as low as one hundred and sixty five fahrenheit 490 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 4: and as high as five hundred fahrenheits. So you have 491 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 4: that spectrum of cooking from your grilling, baking, brazing, smoking, 492 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 4: you know, even putting pizza stones in there to have 493 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 4: like a wood fired pizza of an environment. I mean, 494 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 4: they're not going to cook a pizza in sixty seconds, 495 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 4: but you know, still can be done. 496 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 2: I think the biggest man, right, the one that's out there, 497 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 2: is that they don't in part yeah, it as much 498 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 2: flavor or flavor from smoke into into the food. So 499 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 2: let's just talk about that because I know that probably 500 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 2: was originally some truth in it, but there's been a 501 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 2: lot of development, certainly in the last few years to 502 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: really start taking that out, right, Yeah, one hundred percent. 503 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 4: And that's the other one that I had written down 504 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 4: here was smoke flavor and smoke rings, you know, even 505 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 4: at those higher temperatures. I know, when I first started triggering, 506 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 4: I thought that I had to have it low and 507 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 4: slow for absolute hours on end to get a good 508 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 4: smok ring and to get good smoke flavor into the meat. 509 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 4: But you know, even around that three point fifty three 510 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 4: seventy five, you're still getting good smoke flavor and a 511 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 4: really decent smoke ring. We did well. I did a 512 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 4: master class with not one of his big twelve hour 513 00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 4: was it fourteen protein ones? 514 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 2: Thirteen? 515 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, thirteen. 516 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: I think I threw an extra run in when you 517 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: were there. That was fourteen yeah. 518 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 4: And Noel put on some beef short rubs and the 519 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 4: timberline that I dropped off to use there, and I 520 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 4: think everyone that was that was prison was eagerly awaiting 521 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 4: to see what they were like. And yeah, Nol took 522 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 4: them off and sliced into them, and man they look beautifully. 523 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 2: Yeah they did. 524 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that was I mean, it's probably worth noting 525 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: that that was my first real cook on it, so 526 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: we've only done a sourdough bread. So as soon as 527 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: we got it was really interesting. Like Heather was just like, oh, 528 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: I want to put a sour dough in it. I reckon, 529 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: that'll go really well. So she actually did the first 530 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: cook on, which was really good. But yeah, so that 531 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: was my first I guess protein cook on it, and yeah, really, 532 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: I think everyone was really surprised by one how deep 533 00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: the smoke ring was, to how efficiently it cooked. Three 534 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: It tasted absolutely brilliant, and it is, you know, it's 535 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: a subtle smoke flavor, there's no question. But I think 536 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,719 Speaker 1: as you sort of get deeper into your barbecue journey, 537 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: you realize that that sort of really deep, astringent smoke 538 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: flavor is probably because you've got a dirty fire, and 539 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: as you get better at it, that smoke flavor becomes 540 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: far more subtle. So I think it's you know, definitely 541 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: closed the gap massively with the new technology in terms 542 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: of flavor. I think the other thing is we talked 543 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: about the moisture level in pellets, right, So when I 544 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: had my pellet grill, and I won't name the brand, 545 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: but it was a competing brand, old technology, you know, 546 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: very different drip tray, I used to set light to 547 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: it quite often and the pellets were bone dry. And 548 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: you corrected me at the class actually, which I was 549 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: very grateful for just telling me that it had like 550 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: two or three percent moisture in the trager pellets and 551 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: of course that's you know, that moisture that's left is 552 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: the sort of seasoned sap in the wood, which does 553 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: in part the flavor that's kind of seasoning. So I 554 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: was really it was really good to sort of know 555 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,479 Speaker 1: that there is a bit of moisture in the Trager pellets, 556 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: and of course, you know, they are excellent, and I 557 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: think the flavor thing as well. Playing around with the 558 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: different types of pellets, you know, I've hit a really 559 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: nice sweet spot with mesquite and cherry, you know, sixty 560 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: percent mesquite and forty percent cherry, and I'm getting really 561 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: really good flavors there. So mesquite is almost you wouldn't 562 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: hardly ever want to cook with it because it's so stringent, 563 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: but in a pellet it actually works really well. So yeah, 564 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: I really wanted to hate that tragger mate, but I 565 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: don't love it so much as. 566 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,239 Speaker 4: Well, which which I really really appreciateive of. 567 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, that was totally honest, as I said 568 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:53,959 Speaker 1: to you when you gave it to me. You know, 569 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: I really wanted to hate it, I did, you know. 570 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: I was like this, if I'll be really disappointed, perform 571 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: as well. And I was really disappointed. But it's excellent. 572 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm cooking at least four times a week on it now. 573 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 4: I'm sure we'll convert one day. 574 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, well we'll see. 575 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 4: But it's interesting that thing about the moisture content. That 576 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 4: was none of the mistake I ran into when I 577 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 4: first got a trager and I was watching a lot 578 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 4: of American YouTube and they were putting water pans, obviously 579 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 4: in offsets to increase the moisture in the chamber, but 580 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 4: it was completely redundant because you know, the pellets have 581 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 4: that moisture built into them already. 582 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 2: Yep, that's pretty interesting. I like that. I was going 583 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 2: to talk about the different flavors of the pellets that 584 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 2: you have, yeah, the different wood types, but I was 585 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it's really obvious, but I hadn't 586 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 2: thought about like mixing different types of pellets together. And 587 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 2: so yeah, there's you and you're not. I take, yeah, 588 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 2: you're not just like going right a bit at that 589 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,479 Speaker 2: one in and then a bit of that one. You've 590 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 2: got to mix them up and get them properly sort of. 591 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: D I've got a massive twelve liter bowl and I 592 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: mix them in that. So I do my ratios and 593 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: then I mix them in that and then I feel 594 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: the hopper and the timber line's got this really cool 595 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: shoot and a little bucket that sits underneath it. So 596 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: if you're cooking chicken and you want to use pecan, 597 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: you can do that, and then you can drop all 598 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: the pellets into the container and then you can go 599 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: all right, I want to cook my lamb now, so 600 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to use my mesquite cherry blend. So you 601 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: can actually really easily swap out the flavors as well, 602 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: which I couldn't do with my previous machine. It was 603 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: like you were digging your hands in to get it out. 604 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, so yeah, it's quite cool, but yeah, you 605 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: can definitely play around with you know, they're all there's 606 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: single origin wood pellets, and then the other one that 607 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: I quite like is the Signature, which you gave me 608 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: just recently, and that's a really good blend. 609 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. The signature is hickory, maple and cherry. And then 610 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 4: there's our other blend, which is the Barbecue Sleek, which 611 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 4: is oak, hickory and maple, and that comes in that 612 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 4: bigger thirty barund bag which drops overall price per kilo 613 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 4: for the customer. 614 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's like fifty bucks a bag or something, 615 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: isn't it for the bigger bag, which is pretty awesome. 616 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 2: It's it's like coffee. It's like barristas and coffee. So, Graham, 617 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 2: what's your favorite blend of pealettes? Like, what's your goat? 618 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 2: Of knolls on the mesquite and the My go. 619 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 4: To is just straight cherry. I find that it gives 620 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 4: a really nice mahogany color to the meat. I've used 621 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 4: that a lot with lamb lately and been loving it. 622 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 4: Which in the States they have different blends as well, 623 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 4: so they've got a We actually brought two of them 624 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 4: into New Zealand. So one was the Bold blend, which 625 00:34:55,040 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 4: is hickory and cherry with some rosemary flavoring in there 626 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 4: as well, and then a brisket blend which was oaken 627 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 4: pecan with a little bit of black pepper for your 628 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 4: for your brisket. 629 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: And mate, let's talk about sort of buying a pellet 630 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: grill now, I mean, obviously the range of tragger is vast, right. 631 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: You know, you could go down a very big rabbit hole. 632 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm down the bottom of it at the moment, as 633 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: with a timber line. But you know, if if someone's 634 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: sort of looking to add to their collection. You know, 635 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: let's think about sort of you know, levels that people 636 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: are at, you know, types of cooks that they want 637 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,959 Speaker 1: to do. You know, what would you sort of give them, 638 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 1: you know, as a bit of advice if they were 639 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,240 Speaker 1: looking to select a new pellet grill, what would your. 640 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, so advice that you can break the range down 641 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 4: quite simply, there's a like a beginner, an intermediate, and 642 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 4: advanced tier. The Pro series is at the lower end, 643 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 4: and then you move into the iron Wood, then the 644 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,439 Speaker 4: new iron Wood and then the timberline above that. As 645 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 4: you go up in the range, you're kind of getting 646 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 4: two different things. You're getting better thermal insulation and then 647 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 4: more nice to have features. So when I chose my 648 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 4: trigger that I bought myself before I started working for them, 649 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 4: I settled on the Ironwood eight eight five, and for 650 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 4: me that was the sort of best you know, featured 651 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 4: a price ratio, you know that bang for buck model. 652 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 4: With the iron Wood, you're getting a larger capacity hopper 653 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 4: so you don't need to fill it up quite as often, 654 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 4: and things like movable shelves you can move them up 655 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 4: and down. Features like super smoke for your long, low 656 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 4: and slow cooks. So for me, that that's where that 657 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 4: that value play lies in there. 658 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 2: Is that the eight eighty five is that the top 659 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 2: is that that kind of like. 660 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 4: So the bread and butter skew is the pro series, 661 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 4: the five and five and the cecinnati. So within each 662 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 4: of those tears you also have the two different woods, 663 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 4: the shorter width and then the longer one. A lot 664 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 4: of people will go for the shorter width because they're like, oh, 665 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 4: you know, it's just you know, me and the wife 666 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,760 Speaker 4: at home, and we're not cooking for a lot of people. 667 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 4: But you quickly realize that you can you use that 668 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,959 Speaker 4: widdle with to your advantage by cooking an entire meal 669 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 4: in there. So you've got your proteins and then you've 670 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 4: got your your carbs and your veg and you can 671 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 4: start to create whole whole meals in there. So my 672 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 4: advice would be to pick a model that you're not 673 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 4: going to outgrow and that you can you know, cook 674 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 4: in advance with that needing to buy a new one. 675 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that's regretted buying the biggest barbecue 676 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: in the range. To be fair, yeah, I had, well, 677 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: I had a Bronco for two years and when you 678 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: get the pro obviously it's Yeah, the extra real estate 679 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 1: is amazing and that goes the same for the timberline. 680 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: You know, the three cooking levels is just awesome. 681 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 2: You know, it's the same, same with any same with 682 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 2: any barbecue. Isn't any barbecue you could get? Yeah, you 683 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 2: can buy the medium or the small one, but why 684 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,919 Speaker 2: would you do that when you can buy the big one? 685 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 2: Because you never know. It's only when it's only when 686 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,760 Speaker 2: you need it that you're like, I wish I had it, 687 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 2: as you know, as as toughy stone lights to say, 688 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 2: he talks about it, he goes, I'd rather be looking 689 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,359 Speaker 2: at it than for it, And then the same way 690 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 2: rather yea, like I've got all the space, but I'm 691 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 2: not using it all the time. Then I really need 692 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 2: some more space and I haven't got it. 693 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 1: We talked about this earlier though with the mombro.

I mean, you're after sales care 718 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: is amazing, right, So if someone to buy a second 719 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: ad girl, obviously the parts are available, but a bit 720 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 1: of a mind field. But what would your advice be, 721 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: anything to sort of look out for if you're going 722 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: to go secondhand, I'd look. 723 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 4: At the pictures closely, you know, obviously look for one 724 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 4: that's been looked after, you know, doesn't have dents around 725 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 4: the seals and things like that. But you know you 726 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 4: can you can tell by looking at a grill if 727 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 4: if someone's you know, taking good care of it and 728 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 4: a cell's story. The better you look after you gear, 729 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 4: the better it will look after you. Right, So yeah, 730 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 4: you know, minimal rusts, you know, things like that, relatively 731 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 4: clean on the inside. I mean, you can always give 732 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 4: it a decent deep clean when you when you get 733 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 4: at home, you know, if there is anything wrong with 734 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 4: the components. Like you said, the service team is absolutely great. 735 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 4: Most of the spare parts are readily available out of 736 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 4: christ Church. We're our head officers. But if there's anything 737 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 4: out of the blue, you know, we can source all 738 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 4: of that from the States. Then I'll be here in 739 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 4: a few weeks. 740 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: And that is a big deal for me, certainly when 741 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: I've selected other products in the past. You know, actually 742 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 1: having the parts readily available in New Zealand is a 743 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: massive one, right because without being brand specific. There's an 744 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,760 Speaker 1: awful lot of pellet grills in New Zealand now quite 745 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: a lot of them are unsupported, you know, so do 746 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: you due diligence? You know, if you're going to buy something, 747 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: you know, have a good look into the brand, have 748 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: a good look into what parts are available in New Zealand. 749 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 1: If something was to go wrong, can you get hold 750 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: of it? Where's it coming from? You know, Definitely things 751 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: to consider because you know, at the end of the day, 752 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: it's machinery, right, and little things do go wrong occasionally, 753 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: you know, most of the time not but sometimes they 754 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 1: do and you want to be able to get those 755 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,800 Speaker 1: spares as quickly as possible and be cooking again. So yeah, 756 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: definitely something to consider. 757 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, every now and again, I see myself tear and 758 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 4: someone's post on the n ZBA, you know, asking about 759 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 4: you know, fixing a tragger and it's not only one 760 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 4: of the boys that of have taken me and the 761 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 4: the email address is just service at Trager Grills dot NZ. 762 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 4: So yeah, if you've got problems, just email the boys 763 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 4: down in christ Church and they'll see you. 764 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: Right. 765 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 2: I think that I think I might have done that 766 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 2: recently to you, So, yeah, I'm pretty sure I did. 767 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 2: Recently he was asking something I was like growing for 768 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 2: trag So, yeah, here's something I've noticed. And this is 769 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 2: a little bit more in the competition world. But you know, 770 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 2: in the last few years, you know, we've got we 771 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 2: go through evolutions. Everybody loves the shiny thing in competitions. 772 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 2: We will like to gravitate to the new thing as 773 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 2: soon as somebody does well on it. But people have 774 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 2: really started using pellet grills and you know, traggers for chicken. Yeah, 775 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 2: why do you think that's so popular? I can think 776 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 2: of a couple of reasons, but why why do you 777 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 2: think that's kind of kicking on it? Says something about 778 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 2: pellets cooking chicken really well, like what's the what's the 779 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 2: deal there? 780 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. For some reason, Trager's just belt 781 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 4: out chicken like like nobody's business. 782 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: You know. 783 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 4: One of the questions you've got down here is what 784 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 4: what's one of my favorite midweek cooks? And that is 785 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 4: the spatchcock chuck. You know that the skin's always perfect 786 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 4: and that the chicken is just moist as hell. It 787 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 4: really is. 788 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 2: But Ken. 789 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 4: From Barbecue Boy, I think used his Trager to cook 790 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 4: his lamb for smoke on the coast and ended up 791 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 4: coming out with the first place. So you know, stories 792 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 4: like that that literally sort of you know, give us 793 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 4: some better kudos than the comp scene. 794 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, part of it, I'm sure is the 795 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 2: control element, because certainly chicken cooks tend to go hot 796 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 2: at the beginning, and then you've got to get the 797 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 2: you've got to get your pet dropped down for the 798 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,360 Speaker 2: second part in com because that's when you wrap it 799 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 2: and if you go too hot, you split all your 800 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 2: skins and all this kind of stuff. So that's one 801 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 2: thing because I at the moment like that, it's what 802 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 2: we run our chicken on. We run a fan on 803 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 2: it so that we can drop it down real fast. 804 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 2: But it's quite attractive to think about potentially at some 805 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 2: point switching over to a pellet for the chicken because 806 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 2: I know, and maybe it's because the flavors are a 807 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 2: little bit more delicate and you can play around with 808 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 2: some of those wood mixes a bit more and get 809 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,399 Speaker 2: a little bit more kind of like refined flavor into 810 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,799 Speaker 2: your into your chicken through that smoke. So it's a 811 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 2: short cook, you know, that's kind of interesting. But I 812 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 2: think one of the things I'd been not nervous about 813 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,320 Speaker 2: because I'm sure there are lots of things. But obviously 814 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 2: at home, your pealett grill runs off of you know, 815 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 2: you've got it plugged in, whether it's not an extension 816 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 2: or in your barbecue area an outdoor plug. A competition 817 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 2: they have it. There are times when the yes, it 818 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 2: happened to him at the last one when Tapo it happened. Yeah, 819 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 2: off very long, but King definitely did. Yeah. So how 820 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,720 Speaker 2: easy is it to run a tragger off off grid? 821 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 2: Like can you run it on a sol? Is there 822 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 2: solar stuff that you can do for it? Is it? 823 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 2: Does it run? Or do you need a little jenny? 824 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 2: Like how how would you run it potentially if you 825 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 2: haven't got power? 826 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. So, obviously working for Trager and going around and 827 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 4: doing a lot of demos and a lot of training 828 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 4: cooks outside of minor ten work has given us the 829 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:36,760 Speaker 4: little eco Flow portable batteries that have an AC outlet 830 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 4: on the side. I think I'm currently using the Eco 831 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 4: eco Flow river Max, which has two AC outlets on 832 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 4: the side and that will run two traggers for twenty 833 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 4: four hours. Right, Yeah, so it's stupidly easy. Just plug 834 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,760 Speaker 4: it in, off it goes on. Once they're up and running, 835 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,399 Speaker 4: they're only drawing between thirteen and twenty watts. So once 836 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 4: that hot rod turns off and it's drawing about one 837 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,319 Speaker 4: hundred and sixty five, then it just drops back because 838 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 4: all it's doing is running the motor for the auger 839 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 4: and the fan and the control panel. 840 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: And I was going to say I bought from J 841 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 1: Car Electronics. I bought a little exactly that. It's got 842 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 1: a DC outlet on it, and yeah, it runs. It 843 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: would run the trigger I think comfortably for about fifteen hours. 844 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: My one. It's probably not as big as the ones 845 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 1: you're using, but yeah, super super efficient. I actually run 846 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 1: all my fantasists off that as well. So yeah, it's 847 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 1: pretty cool. 848 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's wicked like you because it just removes 849 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,880 Speaker 2: that stress right of Oh it is my because you 850 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,319 Speaker 2: know power comp can be a little bit yeah, yeah, 851 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 2: very little. Vin somebody just somebody has to plug a 852 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 2: kettling and it blows everybody's power up. That's what happened 853 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 2: at Mania. 854 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 1: I've actually lent Matty Melville battery pack for the Master 855 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 1: Bilt as well, and you know it runs everything. So 856 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 1: if you were at comp I would definitely just start 857 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,920 Speaker 1: on the battery and you know, if you're going to 858 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 1: go to sleep with it, you know it's not going 859 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: to go off. There's going to be no power cuts, 860 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 1: you know, like it's yeah, just stay on the power. 861 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 862 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,839 Speaker 4: And John actually called up the other week to ask 863 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,319 Speaker 4: me have and what I use to to run the 864 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 4: triggers on the road. So pointed him to Lechlands that 865 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 4: distributed those and hopefully you'll give himself one. 866 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty interested in it for for for a 867 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,439 Speaker 2: competition thing, because you know some of the big US 868 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 2: guys who who do a lot of stuff like Sterling 869 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 2: Smith runs all his runs all his chicken on a 870 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 2: on a on a pella, and you know there are 871 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 2: a number of them, and it's the ease of use 872 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,280 Speaker 2: is very attractive when you come to competitions. Not having 873 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,319 Speaker 2: to worry about three different things that could go wrong 874 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 2: on that particular pit, why everything could grow into a whole. 875 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: The other the other thing I did actually on the 876 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,880 Speaker 1: weekend I had another one of those mammoth all day classes. 877 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: Graham and I actually did a beef shint on it. 878 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: And what was really good was the height of it 879 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 1: of the internal chamber, because I actually could have the 880 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 1: you know, the shint standing up in there with a 881 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,480 Speaker 1: sort of rendering marrot. But again, yeah, it cooked it perfectly, 882 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:28,279 Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, Alex, I think it's definitely something 883 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,840 Speaker 1: you should experiment with in the future. 884 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,719 Speaker 4: Maybe maybe maybe the next compy go so I'll look 885 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,439 Speaker 4: at drop and you went off to you, well. 886 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 2: Let's let's have a look at it. Let's have a thing. 887 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:41,880 Speaker 2: But you mentioned, you mentioned that you'd actually bought a 888 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 2: Trager before you started working for Trager with the AA five. 889 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 2: Is that still your at home pit or have you 890 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 2: have you managed to upgrade yourself? 891 00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, I definitely have. So I ended up 892 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,839 Speaker 4: selling that eight eighty five because I didn't see any 893 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 4: point and keeping it around anymore when I've got multiple 894 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 4: to play with at home.

There is no, but there is evidence which 972 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 2: says even if you even if it never get I 973 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,920 Speaker 2: think that I'm going to get corrected. I'm sure, but 974 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,920 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. I've seen that you can even get 975 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,880 Speaker 2: away with it being above I think it's one fifty 976 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 2: five and never actually getting to the one sixty five. 977 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 2: But as long as you've had it at a long 978 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 2: enough temperature, long enough time at that temp, it will 979 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 2: still kill it. Yeah, so you can, but you have 980 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,880 Speaker 2: to know what you're doing, and I'm not advocating anybody 981 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:49,719 Speaker 2: to do that. You should look it to a safe temperature. 982 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to dig out an Instagram channel and send 983 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 1: it to you both a bit later. But there's a 984 00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 1: guy that's been eating chicken. I think it's consecutively for 985 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 1: about seventy days, raw chicken. He just sinks his teeth 986 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 1: into a breast of all chicken and eats it. And 987 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 1: he still hasn't got food, isn't he? Which is crazy? 988 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:11,800 Speaker 2: Where is he in America? 989 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 4: I think?
