And then 347 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: I think it was maybe like twenty seventeen that bought 348 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: a Triger and got into the kind of Trager stuff 349 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: and you got asked to do a few events, you know, 350 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: twenty fourth and thirties and all these things, and people 351 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: seem to enjoy it. So I just kind of got 352 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: more and more into it, and then I think it 353 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: was Litter'd be meet. In twenty twenty one, it came 354 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: up in christ Church and I said, oh, well, give 355 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: it a crack. We just build a two hundred and 356 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: fifty gallon smoke or a big offset, and so we 357 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: just went into it completely blind and just gave it 358 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: a bit of a crack and yeah, we've done all right, 359 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: We've done absolutely everything apart from the SCA. We've done 360 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: the Whole Hog. I think we get third place in 361 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: the Whole Hog. We got both in Chicken. I think 362 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: we came seventh overall for a first of our competition. 363 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: So we said, oh yeah, we'll just kind of keep 364 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: at it. So it was insane. We just kept on 365 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: going with it against and just kind of grown really 366 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: this last year. 367 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 2: Now, most keen listeners will have picked up a little 368 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: brogue there from you that maybe comes from from the 369 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 2: part of the world that I grew up in as well, 370 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 2: So you must have you must have been educated originally 371 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: on the old lighter fuel, charcoal, briquette, sausage, pink chicken 372 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 2: kind of summers that we all enjoyed in the United Kingdom. Correct. 373 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's if we ever got a summer like 374 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: summer in Scotland's usually a day, two days, so you 375 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,479 Speaker 1: had to make the most of it. Yeah, growing up, 376 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: I can always remember my dad and still to this day, 377 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: it was always charcoal based, a couple of rocks and 378 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: a grill over the top. There was no gas barbecues 379 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: like we have over here in New Zealand, and yeah, 380 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: like I said, those couple of days when you get 381 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: sunshine for the whole year, you're right, let's get some 382 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: bargers and sausages and whatnot and get them on so 383 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: you take full advantage of it. But yeah, it's very 384 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: very different over here, and it's very different to what 385 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: I do now compared to many years ago. 386 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 2: It's funny, is that I think a lot of people 387 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 2: who do this route. Yeah, obviously I did, and already 388 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 2: you did and a few others. Yeah, you come down 389 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: from there and I remember being like surprised at the 390 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: amount of gas barbecues. I'd be like, wait, what what 391 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 2: are all of these? I'm used to, you know, incinerating 392 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 2: a sausage at five thousand degrees. Yeah, yeah, it's funny 393 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 2: even I guess where you get such good weather in 394 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 2: New Zealand and any chance of yet there's a good 395 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 2: excuse for a barbecue. 396 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good for a beer 397 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: or a barbecue, but yeah, yeah, yeah both. Yeah, so yeah, 398 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: you did definitely use a lot more. But it's funny 399 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: when you look on Facebook and things and when Scotland 400 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: does get it summer for a couple of days and 401 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: people are just running out to test, go to buy 402 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: charcoal or buy their sausages, and by the time they 403 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: get home, it started raining and then it's all over 404 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: again for another year. So we're pretty lucky over here 405 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: that we actually get some good weather and we we 406 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: get that get a chance to get the barbecue going, 407 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: like in summer, you know, two or three nights a 408 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: week or whatever it may be, and that's either gas 409 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: or charcoal. And I used to use it, even the 410 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: trigger a lot, but now it's more there's nothing better 411 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: than lighting up the charcoal for a night, you know, 412 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: and then get some proper barbecue going. 413 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 2: Now, talk to me about this two and fifty gall 414 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 2: a smoker that you made. I think that's that's a 415 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: fun thing. Like you made that before you did any competition, 416 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 2: but you were doing some kitering, So was that for kitering. 417 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: That you were doing and it was just for fun. 418 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: So my right hand man and Sheeney so as the 419 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: other competitors, call him the mongrel, and yeah, it's a 420 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: he he helps me out and he's a bit of 421 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: an engineer. So he just had an old pressure tank. 422 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: I think the only thing he bought for the whole 423 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: turning and fifty gallon smoker was the toebot, the toe 424 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: hitch and the jockey vet everything else he found on 425 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: the farm. It was old pressure tanks and whatnot, and 426 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: we littered up for the first time and back then 427 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: we were kind of turning and fifty degrees fahrenheit low 428 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,239 Speaker 1: and slow, and it just held the best heat ever. 429 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: We're like, wow, this thing's incredible. And it's still still 430 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: use it to this day. And so yeah, we just 431 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: started using that and I can remember toning it into 432 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: grocer show for the first time, and it gets a 433 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: lot of looks. You know, it looks very kind of 434 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: steampunky and whatnot, but it does like people dream about 435 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: trying to get a barbecue that can hold temperature without 436 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: flutchating so much. And it's still to this day does 437 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: a bloody great job. So we still we use it 438 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: a fair bit and work here and waiting this weekend 439 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: and we'll use it this weekend as well. 440 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 2: So yeah, I was lucky to borrow knolls three fifty 441 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 2: gallon pit a couple of weeks ago and do a 442 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 2: lot of poke on it. And I was amazed and 443 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 2: forgot when you've actually got a nice thick, you know, 444 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 2: thick bit of steel barbecue. How easy it sits. I 445 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 2: mean we were just I almost forgot that we needed 446 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: to put wood in it. At one point. I was 447 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 2: just like, yeah, things are sad. 448 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: Three Yeah, no they are. They're so good and and 449 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: depending on it's one thing you start to learn about 450 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: and you kind of go down a bit of a 451 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: warmhole again on different woods and things like that and control, 452 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: and but there's still nothing beare like I as much 453 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: as I love the competition stuff and kind of a 454 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: pouring fast but still low and slow in some aspects, 455 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: I still like lighting up the pit for teen twelve 456 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: hours and a brisket on it, you know, and just 457 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,479 Speaker 1: watching it cook. And there's just something about that that 458 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: I really love doing. And that's yeah, I don't think 459 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: that will ever change because there's nothing better than getting 460 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: it go in the morning and having something ready at 461 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: night time and watching it go the whole day. And 462 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: that fire control as well, there's there's a bit of 463 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: an arc to it as well, and we've found out 464 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: using different woods and things like that. We use a 465 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: lot of hardwood, like the Australian hardwood from the Power poles. 466 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: So this is like it could be Ron Barker, Jarrah 467 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: or Bloodwood, and we just found the difference and those 468 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: in the flavor you get so so different. But there's 469 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: no putting on sticks or bit's what every five minutes 470 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: kind of thing. You know, you can walk away from 471 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: it and go to the pub for three hours and 472 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: come back and it's not moved and the needle's not 473 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: moved at all. So yeah, there's a there's a fair 474 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: bit to a bit of signs to it as well, 475 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's it's good fun. 476 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 2: And what what's the thickness of the stale on this thing? 477 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're I think that's around about six 478 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: or seven. Hell since then, we've actually got a five 479 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: hundred gallon since theying, and it's a bit thinner and 480 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: you definitely notice it. You know, it just doesn't hold 481 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: the heat as well. But Fetchteal one of the friends. 482 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: We've got a ten mil one and Jesus just halts heat. 483 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: You know, even after hours after it's finished, it's still hot. 484 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's just something about that kind of old 485 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: school launch slow barbecue that I yeah, still really really enjoyed. 486 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was funny when we borrowed that pit off Nol. 487 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 2: We took it around to Mapari and we're out the 488 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 2: back and we're in They've got like a big cup, 489 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 2: like a big kind of back area and we're out there. 490 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, I was like, 491 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 2: all right, well, I'll leave it here. It will go 492 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 2: cold overnight, and then I'll clean the firebox out in 493 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: the morning and then take it back to Nol. 494 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:33,719 Speaker 4: Right. 495 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 2: And I turned up in the morning, probably like eleven 496 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning, like not like seven or anything early, 497 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: like a very reasonable Sunday morning arrival time. Turned up, 498 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 2: had a little young with the boys in the shop, 499 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 2: bought some stuff, grabbed a couple of bim bags, took 500 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 2: him around and just got the shovel and started putting 501 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 2: the ash into a couple of bin bags. Picked the 502 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 2: bags up and I was just like what And I 503 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 2: had no bags left because the ash was still. Yeah, 504 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: it's like this thing's been sad like with everything open 505 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 2: for twelve hours, this should be out. 506 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're pretty incredible. They are pretty forgiven. Like you 507 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: can let that tempt to drop a little bit, but 508 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: it or or even that let the fire die almost 509 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: right out, but it will still just hold that temperature 510 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: compared to say, maybe like a barrel smoker or a 511 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: drum smoker, where you've kind of if you let that 512 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: fire die out, then it's gone instantly, and teach you 513 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: a lot to get them. The big off dates are 514 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: just so much more controlling. 515 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, now talk to me about the wood, Like, where 516 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 2: are you getting iron bark from? Obviously I'm reasonably familiar 517 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: with it in terms of knowing that people cook with 518 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: it out of Bussie. I've never cooked with it or 519 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 2: done anything or even probably eat with it. So tell 520 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 2: us a bit about the eyebar. That's cool. 521 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, we're well, we're at rural out here. We 522 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: live in a farm out here, and you have got 523 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: frames in the power company and we have taken down 524 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: all power pools and whatnot, and then we kind of 525 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: do a bit of a deal like we do when 526 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: we're rural. So it might be swapping for a I 527 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: don't know, a lamb or something like that, or we'll 528 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: swapping for something. And yeah, so these old power poles, 529 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: I guess they're probably been in the ground for fifty 530 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: years and they've been down for just as long. And 531 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: like they absolutely bugger a change saw trying to cut 532 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: them up, and they're as heavy as all hell, but 533 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: they burned for hours and hours and hours, and you know, 534 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: it's just it's just like literally like coal. And I 535 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: think Australia still use a lot of iron box but yeah, 536 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: we found that. We we we've been through oak hickory Beach, 537 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: but just nothing burns like iron. Barker Jar is another 538 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: good one as well. 539 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I guess those poles must have come from 540 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 2: Ossie in the first Yeah, originally been shipped ever and 541 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 2: and then been used in the New Zealand industry and 542 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 2: then just yeah. 543 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: That's right. And I think they are kind of slowly disappearing, 544 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: probably because people are burning them in the smokers. But yeah, 545 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: there's there, there's still there's still plenty around, so any 546 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: chance we get, we we try and hold on to them, 547 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: and yeah, they'll last a long time. But there's definitely 548 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: plenty of other wood out there. But it's quite good 549 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: to even use a mixture between that and some oak 550 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: or cherry or any fruit woods. Any chance we get, 551 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,959 Speaker 1: you know, we just kind of keep storing it up. 552 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: It's one thing they do when you are burning for 553 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: ten or twelve hours. You do use a bit of. 554 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 2: Wood, So iyebark's the favorite would like for flavor or 555 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 2: is there something else that you really like from a 556 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: flavor point. 557 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: Of view, We definitely use that. We've got another friend 558 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: who's got a turning business and he uses a lot 559 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: of beach and white oak and things like that, a 560 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: lot of offcuts, so we just kind of use a 561 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: bit of that and mix and match. And it's just 562 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: been a bit of an experiment just trying a couple 563 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: of woods together, especially trying to keep something fairly neutral 564 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: when you've got to say it might be chicken, pork, 565 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: beef all on the pit and just not something that's overpowering. 566 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, we just try a few things out and 567 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: some of them have worked and some of them haven't. 568 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, iron barks seems to be a real consistent, 569 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: very much like oak. You know, you can just burn 570 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: it and it doesn't seem to paint food or anything 571 00:29:59,600 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: like that. 572 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I guess with if you're using that mostly 573 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 2: for catering, then you're you don't want to kind of 574 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 2: go too extreme or too too mild, because if you're 575 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: not smoky enough, people don't think they've got barbecue. But 576 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 2: if you go to extreme like a hickory or a 577 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 2: you know, even I guess I've phodakawa or a you know, 578 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 2: mesquite or something like that, you're gonna people are going 579 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 2: to be like, ah, that's too much, right, So you've gotta. 580 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: Right And you find that sometimes when you use like 581 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: seeing the broncho and you're putting a bit of mosquite 582 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: in and if you're using the wrong protein with it, 583 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: and it can be have that very smoky taste. And 584 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: we've found a lot with the kire and so some 585 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: of these events have done. Then we could be fifty 586 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: sixty year old ladies there and they've never tried smoke 587 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: meat before. In their head, the smoked food is not 588 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: what they've just eaten, you know. They think, oh, it's horrible, 589 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a bit of fish that's been smoking, 590 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, a pan, you know, something like that, and 591 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: they just don't really know and they're like, oh that, well, 592 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: that is beautiful. And it's just just trying to get 593 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: people's use across like different, just to you know, it 594 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't be tasting like smoke, you know, And that's that's 595 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: the biggest thing. And that's was remember when I first started, 596 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: and I didn't know about any of this, And you're 597 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of smoke coming out of the chimney 598 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, yeah, I'm doing really good for 599 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: you smoking and it tastes like shit. So we've been there. Yeah. Yeah, 600 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: And it's funny what you learn along the way. 601 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. I have a neighbor. We love our neighbors to bits, 602 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 2: but they fish a lot, and they give us fish, 603 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: and they used to give us all the fish smoked, 604 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 2: and obviously he does the old fashioned Kiwi way with 605 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 2: a little tin of meths and set the mess on 606 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 2: fire and wood chips and whatever, and it's all very manucure. 607 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 2: And I can't stand Manuka like it drives me mental. Yeah, 608 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 2: And I had to tell I'd say to him. I 609 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 2: was like, hey, love the fish. I just really like it. 610 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 2: I'm smoked and I just want to do it, So 611 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 2: just give it to me fresh, Like, don't worry about 612 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 2: smoking it for me, don't go to that trouble. Well, 613 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 2: I'll just take it wrong. 614 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. 615 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I find monuca and of cow while they 616 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: can be quite overpowering as well, you know, And and 617 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: I do love like monuca and poa cow, but you 618 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: just got to be very cureful with it as well. 619 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 2: I love is probably the base of a lot of 620 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 2: stuff we do. But minoca I kind of it just 621 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 2: has that kind of real old school vibe to me. 622 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, it definitely does. And it's taken out. 623 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: It's taken like sometimes when we're getting about loan wood 624 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: and we should have been cutting wood and we haven't. 625 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: So you'll you'll find some stuff. But as long as 626 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: I think if you mix it in with a few things, 627 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: and it's yeah, it's just there's a lot of them 628 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: just playing around with it and just trying to try 629 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: and get the balance right. 630 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. So how does how does catering prep? Like how 631 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 2: far in advanced you start doing catering compared to barbecue comps? 632 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 2: Because yeah, you're doing both now, like which is harder 633 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: to which is harder to prep for? Which is more work? 634 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: Definitely definitely competitions a lot of wash. Like it's even 635 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: between catering and pies, and you you could prep maybe 636 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: a day or two days out of the good thing 637 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: about the catering or pie prep is you don't have 638 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: to do a hell of a lot of trim if anything, 639 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's like briskets and really do really 640 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: minimal trim and just cut some really big harbits of 641 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: fat off and salt paper and yeah, it's some rubs 642 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: if I've got any left over that I've not used 643 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: or whatever, but really really basic, same as the pork 644 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: or lamb or whatever. You know, all the fat pretty 645 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: much remains on and you can kind of just keep 646 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: it on and cut it off at the end, whereas 647 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: in competition, you know, a brisket you would never like, 648 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: you know, well everyone knows on the competition how hard 649 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: we get on trimming. And that's one good thing I 650 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: do like about the catering. Like I could probably care 651 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: for two hundred people cooking one hundred kilos of meat 652 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: or whatever, and it would take me just as long 653 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: as it would for trimming sixteen chicken thighs. So yeah, 654 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: and it's one thing I do like. You know, it's 655 00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: kind of zero fast, and it's kind of them better, 656 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: the rustic flavors, kind of salt paper and not going. 657 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: There's no brins, no injections, no nothing, just really raw. 658 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: And it's one thing I do love is just having 659 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: that good barbecue taste. 660 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 2: So what's the like for your catering, Like, what's a 661 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 2: typical catering menu look like for a smoky fish event. 662 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we can we allfer a menu and there's 663 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: I think twenty different options there and that can be 664 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: from they could pick three three meats and salads or 665 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: four meats and salad. We supply buns, condiments, all that 666 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: kind of thing, and they can choose so it could 667 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: be anything from beef cheeks to beef shot ribs, brisket, 668 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: lamb shore or pork shoulder chicken. And then there's other 669 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,439 Speaker 1: options if they want to go into wagu or whole 670 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: rabbis and then as well as doing obviously cork ribs, 671 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: lamb ribs. So yeah, it's quite a big, quite a 672 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: big menu. But most people I've kind of found and 673 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: it's very good for us, kind of like pop pork. 674 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: You know, everyone loves purple. 675 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy? Like as co as we have this 676 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 2: conversation so much, and I got it rammed home to 677 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 2: me because we literally did that fundraiser a couple of 678 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 2: weeks ago and we we sold pre sold like sixty 679 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 2: kilos of five hundred grand bags. Yeah, so like one 680 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty bags of pool pork in less than 681 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 2: a day were sold pre sold to a company, and 682 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 2: I was like, huh, I guess people really like pool pork. 683 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 2: I can't stand it anymore. 684 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, it's everyone absolutely loves pool pork, and 685 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: for me, it's definitely not one of my favorites. But 686 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: it's it's good. It's good, but yeah, it's It's not 687 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: one I would pick off, you know. I prefer like 688 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: a yeah, a brisket or something on the are and 689 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: the briskets are very different to what we're doing competition 690 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: as well. You know, they're kind of that little more 691 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: coop seem as them pork rubs and port rubs. People 692 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: have done it before, made the mistique and I got 693 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: in competition more than and kind of following timelines. We 694 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: had a bit of a bit to them, and I 695 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is these are perfect and the 696 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: people are like, oh, you know, they had a bit 697 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,439 Speaker 1: of a bait. They still came up clean off the bone, 698 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: but they're expecting, you know, ReBs to just fall off 699 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 1: the board. And I was like, you should just try 700 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: them a little bit, you know, in between both. But 701 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: people just love ReBs that can fall off the ball. 702 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 2: I did some ribs for people at work the other day, 703 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 2: like backpacks them up for them and all that kind 704 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 2: of stuff, and I cooked the ship out of these things. 705 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 2: I was literally like trying to get them into the vackpacks, 706 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 2: like cradling them, going, don't fall apart, don't fall apart, 707 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 2: getting them in there, then getting them cooled down so 708 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 2: that because I knew they were going to reheat them, 709 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 2: and I was really worried that people are going to 710 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 2: be like, oh, they were like mushy or whatever, and 711 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 2: they all of them have come back like they're the 712 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,439 Speaker 2: best things ever, so good. 713 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: What do you do? You just cook them for five hours? 714 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 2: And yeah, I was just like cook them till I 715 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 2: would almost not hand them in in a compound. 716 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: That's right exactly. Yeah, that's that's funny. People's mentality or 717 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: on kind of barking. Then they do have some see competition, 718 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, when we give some away or our people 719 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: taste or competition barking, they say, well, that's great, And 720 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: I said, you know that there's almost sure what you 721 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 1: eat of that, you know you could you know, it's 722 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: just got a moderation. 723 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 2: Do you find you are. And this is like a 724 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 2: real comp versus catering and probably competition versus normal people 725 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 2: kind of thing with the pool pork, like what we 726 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 2: got told from we got told Yeah, when Mapari had 727 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 2: sold and they'd sold it, it didn't When it didn't 728 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 2: have enough sauce, people didn't like it. And then when 729 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 2: they were like, we put so much sauce in this thing, 730 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 2: and they were like, you just got to load it 731 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 2: up with sauce, like it's literally got to be swimming 732 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 2: in sauce and that's when people love it. 733 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. I think that's kind of mentality of 734 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: pool pork. It's just swimming and sauce, and yeah. 735 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 2: That's just we were. We were almost like we do 736 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 2: we feel bad giving somebody this, Like it feels like 737 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 2: it's forty sorts. 738 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. It's funny. I pulled pork one as well. 739 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: It's even without brain, and you can cook it for 740 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: ten hours to put false to bets, let it leave 741 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: it to race. But when you actually pull that best, 742 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: the inside of it can still be here. That's a 743 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 1: very dry and you know, even some of it tastes good, 744 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: but some of it's good notteast, but when you actually 745 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: mix it together. In America, you know, they do like 746 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: to kind of mix all that together and do a 747 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: bit of a dry rob with it. And yeah, I 748 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: didn't anything to it, especially to the to the public. 749 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: You know, they just in their head it's you're just 750 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 1: tripping with sauce and that's fantastic. 751 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 2: Now. I do want to talk a little bit of 752 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 2: competition stuff with you, but before we do that, we 753 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 2: have to talk about pies, because I think you are 754 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 2: pretty well known, certainly around the competition scene and certainly 755 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 2: in some other places of being the purveyor of rather 756 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 2: good barbecue pies. So let's how did you start getting 757 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 2: into pies and what goes into a banging pie. 758 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, well we kind of start. It was probably just 759 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: under a year ago now, and it was from Caring. 760 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: We came back and we had a lot of leftover 761 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: say brisket and pulled port so backpacked it all lit, 762 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: colled down in the freezer and we pulled it out 763 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: one day and said what am I going to do 764 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: with all this? I said, all right, We'll make it 765 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: a pie. So we made kind of eight or ten 766 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: small pies, and I think I took them down to 767 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,439 Speaker 1: the pub in a Sunday afternoon, like usually go down 768 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: a Sunday afternoon four o'clock for a few pints. Took 769 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 1: them down there and everyone was like, oh wow, these 770 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,479 Speaker 1: are bloody amazing pies. So we kind of got onto 771 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: it a bit more, and then we tried a few 772 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 1: other flavors, and then ever since then it just kind 773 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 1: of grew. So I'd done a first big run. I 774 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: think I've done four or five flavors. So I did 775 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: a brisket, calapino and cheese, a beef, chicken, mushroom, pulled pork, 776 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: and we smoke all the meat and the big offset 777 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,760 Speaker 1: and make the gravy. Then we take it to baker, 778 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: put it into the pastry bases and make it for us. 779 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: My wife runs she kind of runs a little coffee 780 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: cart on a Friday, and so we started selling them there. 781 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 1: And where we live, in south Bridge's dead end, there's 782 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: nothing apart from the sea, so it's that's not a 783 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 1: very good destination. And I think we sold thirty of 784 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 1: forty the first week, and then she opened the next 785 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: week and there's people coming from everywhere and we're selling 786 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: like one hundred and fifty or within two hours on 787 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: a Friday. So yeah, grew on to there. Now we've 788 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,839 Speaker 1: kind of got eleven different flavors. Some are better than 789 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: others and some have got rid of g you know, 790 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: and just just wasn't that happy with them, or they're 791 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 1: just a nightmare to make. And I think by the 792 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 1: end of the year, I think we were probably done 793 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,919 Speaker 1: close to eighteen or nineteen thousand pies. So that's insane. Yeah, 794 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: and just yeah, is it just from the car. 795 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 2: Or how you started shipping selling them? Right? 796 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, so we sell like there's place in and 797 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: christ Church, Beckingham Butcher a good favorite with a lot 798 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: of the local barbecue guys there. He sells them all 799 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: frozen and then we sell them fresh into the local 800 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: service stations, to the Challenge service station. So I think 801 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: there's three or four of those, And just shipped an 802 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: order over to West coast of France, Joseph and Fox 803 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: Glacier and selling them there, And yeah, I've sent a 804 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: few up north and Barry Boy's got a few, and yeah, 805 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: there's a few different flavors in there, like the smoked 806 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 1: steak and cheese and smoked steak and hagas and that 807 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: was always that was a very different one. The Min's 808 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: smoked mince and cheese seems to be one of the 809 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,720 Speaker 1: biggest favorites of all things. 810 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 2: I can't imagine that that is my Yeah, that's my 811 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 2: kids go to. We have a good pie shop at 812 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 2: the bottom of our road, and they are always like 813 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 2: mince and cheese pies. That's what they love. 814 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I was never a mince and cheese kind 815 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: of fan. I thought it was very boring. And then 816 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,240 Speaker 1: I said, I'm going to smoke some mince. I smoked 817 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 1: and it actually takes about three or four hours to 818 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: smoke mince, even though it's you know, it's not that 819 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 1: big cut of a meat, so to speak. So I 820 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: smoked it up for three or four hours and I've 821 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,399 Speaker 1: done a run of them. They sold so quickly, and yeah, 822 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: it's still one of our biggest sellers. And yeah, so 823 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: it's no, it's been a bit of a bit of 824 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: a journey with it and a lot of learning, but yeah, 825 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: it's good. Once a week, I kind of on a 826 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 1: Sunday or a Monday or just kind of get the 827 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: smoker going and smoke up.

Right, I 835 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 2: know we've got one in their house. What would be 836 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 2: your top what's one top tip for if you want 837 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 2: to make a pie that you can give without you know, 838 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 2: obviously encouraging somebody to start selling eighteen thousand piles a week. 839 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, now it's I just wouldn't be scared to put 840 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: whatever you want in it, Like they're fairly simple, any 841 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: left over even like beef, short rubs or whatever, and 842 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: just cut it up. And all you have to do, 843 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: literally is just make a grievy. And I mean a greevy. 844 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,839 Speaker 1: It is a basic, basic grievy, you know that could 845 00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 1: be agree that you could put on your bloody Sunday 846 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,320 Speaker 1: roast and just a bit thicker and just just experimenting 847 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: with it. Like I said, I've done hags, I've done 848 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 1: black pudding and shrieks so and all these other things. 849 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: Going into things and beef cheek ox tail. You know 850 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: that it's littleitless really what you want to do. But yeah, 851 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,919 Speaker 1: just a really good greedy and that's what a pie needs. 852 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: And probably pastry, and that's one thing I've learned. Juggled 853 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: around pastry quite a bit. We've we actually used kind 854 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: of a dessert pastry on top, so that's just it's 855 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 1: got a bit of a fluffiness. And but then you 856 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 1: still need a good vessel to hold all the meat 857 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: and whatnot and it and and don't be spent, don't 858 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: be stingy with the meat. That's one thing I learned. 859 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 1: Plenty of meat and a pie. 860 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, one hundred you want meat and a pie 861 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 2: of one definitely. Now let's talk about a bit of 862 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 2: competition stuff, because you are one of those crazy people 863 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 2: who live in the South Island and keep popping up 864 00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 2: at North Island competitions. Which, yeah, it does sound that 865 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 2: hard until you kind of remember we've got a big 866 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 2: bit of water in between us, and it's very expensive 867 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 2: to cross that and it takes a long time to 868 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 2: drive from down where you are up to where most 869 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 2: of the comps are, so that's probably not an option. 870 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 2: Half the time, Like how do you manage competing in 871 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 2: the North Island with living in the South Island. 872 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's definitely challenging.

You know, it's just someone When 942 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,320 Speaker 1: you do these competitions, you kind of second judge yourself 943 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,319 Speaker 1: and a lot of things. And sometimes when I was there, 944 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: i'd asked you said, no, you're right, you know what 945 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,359 Speaker 1: you're doing.

But when 954 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,400 Speaker 2: you're literally stood in front of that pit and your 955 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,280 Speaker 2: chicken is on or something like that, and you're like, oh, 956 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 2: I don't know when to take it off, and you're like, 957 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 2: you do know, But it's so I think part of that, 958 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 2: like if you get to shadow a team or do 959 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 2: something like that, just literally seeing it and then going 960 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 2: all right, it does work because I've literally seen it 961 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,800 Speaker 2: from here to here and I've seen exactly what and 962 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,440 Speaker 2: they haven't done anything magic. They haven't like, you know, 963 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 2: turned around and sprinkled the special dust or like actually 964 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,279 Speaker 2: changed something. You're like, all right, it does. It gives 965 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,520 Speaker 2: you that confidence, you know, Yeah, it does. 966 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 1: And a lot of the stuff was not very different, 967 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 1: like we used different rubs and different flavors and different sauces, 968 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 1: but everyone's different, but the process is still very similar. 969 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,959 Speaker 1: And it's yeah, when we were across at the World 970 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,719 Speaker 1: Invitational and then I just I'd be kind of looking 971 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 1: after the pitts. Then Troy just be gone for like 972 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,960 Speaker 1: half an hour twenty minutes, so like, where's he going? 973 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: He's just less charge of all and he didn't even 974 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 1: say it was going. But that was quite good. They 975 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 1: kind of you know what you're doing. But it's, yeah, 976 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: it's been bloody great for me just to have that. 977 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 1: And and when we just had a local show it 978 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,880 Speaker 1: ails me a couple of weeks ago and had a 979 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 1: couple of new teams beside me, and not that world's 980 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: based barbecue. But it was great for some of the 981 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 1: guys to come next to me and ask me, you know, 982 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 1: on what you think of that or what you wanted that, 983 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 1: and they're real keen in there into it now in 984 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 1: the event of the next competitions, and that's what we 985 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 1: want to see, you know, we want to see these 986 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,800 Speaker 1: guys come. Like one of the guys there it was 987 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 1: a backyard barbecue. He won the ribs category and you 988 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 1: know his name was Freddy's Barbecue because that's what he 989 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,760 Speaker 1: made up on the day. And it was just great 990 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: to say, you know, I just come across from what 991 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: they're do now when you just give them a bit 992 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: of advice. And that's one great thing about the barbecue 993 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 1: community is you drop a hat, even if you had 994 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,319 Speaker 1: four minutes left or hand in, you give someone else 995 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 1: three and a half and give yourself thirty seconds to 996 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: hand in, you know, And that's so many people have 997 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: done that for me. I've seen it with Troy when 998 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 1: I've been competing against him, and people always come up 999 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 1: and ask him things, and he will never shut up 1000 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 1: his trailer or anything. You know, he will stand there 1001 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 1: and speak to them even though he's flat out busy. 1002 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 1: And it's great and it's really good for the for 1003 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: the barbecue community. I think. 1004 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,359 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, like you say, it's always you do 1005 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 2: do it because people did it for you. Yeah. 1006 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. And and like Pete said, anyone you 1007 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,799 Speaker 1: could you can mentor to get into it and to 1008 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 1: give you a bit of a hand. It's great. And 1009 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 1: there's so many teams just now, like everyone helps everyone, 1010 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,960 Speaker 1: like there's not really a bad egg in there. I 1011 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 1: do in the community. 1012 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 2: I do sometimes think I shouldn't have helped Troy so 1013 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,879 Speaker 2: much with his pok do you know what I mean? Yeah, 1014 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 2: you used to hammer me for pork stuff and I'd 1015 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,360 Speaker 2: always tell me, oh yeah, And then suddenly it was 1016 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:07,279 Speaker 2: like I was like. 1017 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:14,799 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's it's great. It's it's 1018 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,319 Speaker 1: so good and Troy and and everyone's very similar. People 1019 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 1: who ask me and I'll tell them everything that you 1020 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,799 Speaker 1: could tell them and show them absolutely everything. But two 1021 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,439 Speaker 1: weeks later you've still got to go out and cook 1022 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 1: it yourself. Yeah, And that's that's the biggest thing. And 1023 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 1: I'm the same now, I'm not scared to show anyone 1024 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,359 Speaker 1: or tailing one what I'm what I'm going to do, 1025 00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,200 Speaker 1: and when it comes to steak or whatever, this is 1026 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,920 Speaker 1: what I use. And but yeah, you've still got to 1027 00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:39,360 Speaker 1: go out the phone and we can cook it on 1028 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,400 Speaker 1: your own. And that's that's the biggest thing. Only you 1029 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,319 Speaker 1: know what it's like, It only takes two or three 1030 00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 1: minutes to bugger everything up. 1031 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,000 Speaker 2: Now for somebody who hasn't done a lot of sc 1032 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,319 Speaker 2: A like you've had some success, like you say, you 1033 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,080 Speaker 2: won your first competition, You've got a golden ticket, and 1034 00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 2: suddenly you find yourself in Fort Worth, Texas with a 1035 00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 2: couple of hundred of the best steak cooks in the world. 1036 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:01,719 Speaker 2: Like what was going through your head there, because you 1037 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,359 Speaker 2: must have just been like the fuck cad I get here? 1038 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, well that was only my third over steak. Yeah, 1039 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 1: so my first one was christ just the second one 1040 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 1: was mixed off and I think I got fifth and 1041 00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,959 Speaker 1: name m Yeah, straight into the worlds. So my third 1042 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 1: ever one was yeah for the qualifiers and a mask 1043 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: to qualify. I think it was ten for ninth for 1044 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,799 Speaker 1: that to get into the finals, which was looking looking back, 1045 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 1: it was a bloody hard table as well, Like there 1046 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:35,239 Speaker 1: was Mettoverson, Scott Ardi, and Chris Little was in my group. 1047 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,359 Speaker 1: He finished ahead of me and he ended up going 1048 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:41,120 Speaker 1: on to win the whole thing. So it was looking 1049 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,879 Speaker 1: back now, Wan, I know it's yeah, it was. It 1050 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,800 Speaker 1: was a hell of an event. It was. There was 1051 00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,320 Speaker 1: three of us went over as with all the other Kiwis, 1052 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 1: and we just went with no expectations, just to enjoy 1053 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 1: it and anything else that happened was great. So we've 1054 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,880 Speaker 1: done everything. We've done the Cowtown We've done the Cowtown 1055 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 1: Classic Ribs as well. I think we finished nine team 1056 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 1: for Ribs, so yeah, just a great opportunity. Then we 1057 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,400 Speaker 1: carried on for another two weeks after that and traveled around. 1058 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 1: We went to Memphis, Nashville, San Francisco, and yeah, just 1059 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 1: in a bit of a tour with it. So hopefully 1060 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:17,919 Speaker 1: since I've done that, I've kind of got a few 1061 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 1: other boys into it, and one of them just qualified 1062 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 1: for his Golden ticket. Now he's real keen, Scott Turner, 1063 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 1: he's real keen to get over there next year. So 1064 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,799 Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's good. It's yeah, I'm not quite told 1065 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:33,080 Speaker 1: the wife were going yet, yeah, or asked yet? But yeah, 1066 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 1: hopefully we can get back for another weekend and we 1067 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 1: just fly and fly out for a week. 1068 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,839 Speaker 2: You know, the role. It's easy. It's a big for 1069 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 2: forgiveness than it is to ask for permission. 1070 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah, no, dead all right, 1071 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 1: but no, it's great. I've actually I never thought I 1072 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,200 Speaker 1: would like the sea and just a state. I definitely 1073 00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm not an ancillary fan. It's just I'm not quite 1074 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:58,520 Speaker 1: artistic enough for it. And when I see some creations 1075 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,880 Speaker 1: like when you speak the hell Wiggins and Charlotte and 1076 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 1: these guys, and they're just they're artists, you know, they 1077 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,400 Speaker 1: really are. It's unbelievable. And the Steak. The one thing 1078 00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 1: I do like about the Steak is just you, no 1079 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 1: one else. You've got no one else to blame. It's 1080 00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,800 Speaker 1: you've got you know, hand in times, it's it's there's 1081 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,919 Speaker 1: no it's just just on your own, really, and it's 1082 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,680 Speaker 1: it's a good thing. One thing I don't probably like 1083 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 1: about the Steak is you don't see what you've done wrong. Yeah, 1084 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: and that's one thing. It's it's very hard, and that 1085 00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 1: starts to play about of tricks on your mind. You know, 1086 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 1: is it overdone, underdone? 1087 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 2: You don't really know, yeah, because it's not even like 1088 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,759 Speaker 2: an NZB because at least an NZBI you might have 1089 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 2: you know, you've got other bits of chicken you can try, 1090 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,239 Speaker 2: or you've sliced into the brisket, so you kind of 1091 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 2: know before you. 1092 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 1: All right, yeah, yeah, so it does kind of play 1093 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,799 Speaker 1: tricks with you. But yeah, it's it's great and you 1094 00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 1: just want to keep perfecting things. So but now I've 1095 00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,799 Speaker 1: really enjoyed the see this year, just traveling around, it's 1096 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,200 Speaker 1: been really good bunch that we've kind of competed with 1097 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,759 Speaker 1: the most, probably every fortnight kind of things. So and yeah, 1098 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,360 Speaker 1: it's got quite tight at the top, so it's probably 1099 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 1: gonna come down to kind of we're never going to 1100 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 1: catch the master Troy. 1101 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 2: You know, he's a race for a second. That's a 1102 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 2: race for a second, mate. 1103 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. So it's all coming under christ. See. 1104 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's great, it's it's really good fun. See. 1105 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 2: Well, I'm super keen to scratch the surface a little 1106 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:25,880 Speaker 2: bit more and give you a little bit more of 1107 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,920 Speaker 2: a personal prod here. But before we do that, let's 1108 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:34,399 Speaker 2: prod some more ads into your good ear holes. All right, 1109 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 2: I think it's time it's time that we get a 1110 00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:41,920 Speaker 2: little personal here, Scotty. It's time to really, yeah, unearthed 1111 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,880 Speaker 2: some of those secrets that are lurking down there in 1112 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,400 Speaker 2: the old in the old Canoaken farm. Let's kick it 1113 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 2: off with let's do the quick fires, and let's kick 1114 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,280 Speaker 2: it off with what's the strangest thing you've ever eaten? 1115 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,359 Speaker 2: And you're not allowed to say, hagis because yeah, that's 1116 00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:58,759 Speaker 2: an easy one for you. 1117 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a lot of people would think that's strange, 1118 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:06,080 Speaker 1: but I just think that's probably normal. Yeah. I can 1119 00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 1: remember when I was young, I were on holiday and 1120 00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 1: where we were in France, and they're very big eaters 1121 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,279 Speaker 1: of horse there, and we tried a bit of horse here. 1122 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 1: That's probably the the weirdest thing. Did you like it? 1123 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:25,360 Speaker 1: I can't remember, but I can just remember not enjoying 1124 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: having to eat it. I don't know if I liked 1125 00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 1: it or not. 1126 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 2: So you knew it was horse. 1127 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. My dad told me afterwards, and I 1128 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:32,880 Speaker 1: was yeah. 1129 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 2: But you didn't know when you were eating it though. 1130 00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 1: Nope, I had no idea. 1131 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:40,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it would be a bit harsh for 1132 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,680 Speaker 2: a kid to tell them that, literally, this is dobbin 1133 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:47,319 Speaker 2: on your plate right after I can kind of get it. 1134 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 2: But you know, well horses, yeah it is. It is 1135 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,759 Speaker 2: pretty specific the French. Do you love a bit of Chevalier? 1136 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 1: But yeah, I've never had it again since, so yeah, 1137 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:02,719 Speaker 1: we'll just leave it there. 1138 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,239 Speaker 2: There we go now as barbecue folk, we do like 1139 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 2: a bit of music usually when we barbecue. But what 1140 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:13,240 Speaker 2: is one album? What's the album that you would choose 1141 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,040 Speaker 2: if you can only listen to one album for the 1142 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:17,000 Speaker 2: rest of your life. 1143 00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,120 Speaker 1: Ah, jeez. To be honest, I will listen to all music, 1144 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,160 Speaker 1: like I will listen to anything from pop country. I 1145 00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 1: love country music, but I love rock or anything. To 1146 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,720 Speaker 1: be honest, one album I've loved listening to I've listened 1147 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:32,880 Speaker 1: to the last year as probably Zach Brian has become 1148 00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,240 Speaker 1: quite a big thing. But Zach Brian self told Zach 1149 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:36,280 Speaker 1: Brian album. 1150 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 2: Is that the one with something in the Orange on it? 1151 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of the songs. 1152 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 2: And I love that album as well. It's a great album. 1153 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,440 Speaker 1: It is a great album, and I could listen to 1154 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,760 Speaker 1: that like I listened to that today and two days 1155 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,520 Speaker 1: later I could listen to you and I wouldn't skip 1156 00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,400 Speaker 1: a song minute, you know, you just let them run through. 1157 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 1: Yeah it is, but yeah, I like any music, to 1158 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:54,479 Speaker 1: be honest. 1159 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,000 Speaker 2: I'm with you on that one. I'm a big fan 1160 00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 2: of that album. And Zach Bryan I've discovered him in 1161 00:57:58,280 --> 00:57:59,840 Speaker 2: the last twelve months as well. 1162 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,720 Speaker 1: So it's very good. 1163 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,920 Speaker 2: Right, here's something that we've all got as well. What 1164 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 2: was your most useless barbecue purchase? Without saying pulled Pope 1165 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:16,080 Speaker 2: Bear clothes? Yeah, yeah, that was too obvious. 1166 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:23,280 Speaker 1: It's I guess there's probably not one. It's probably I'm 1167 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 1: just a real sucker for buying stuff off like Team 1168 00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 1: You or Wish. And when I get a lot of 1169 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,880 Speaker 1: these things, I'm like, oh, yep, that's perfect. Like, yeah, 1170 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 1: there's a fifty seven centime of grill Gray and I 1171 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,720 Speaker 1: get it and it looks like it should be something, 1172 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,800 Speaker 1: and like a kid's clay kitchen kind of thing, you know, 1173 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,440 Speaker 1: it comes back and it's three inches big, and like, 1174 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 1: oh god, that was a waste of I don't know, 1175 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,320 Speaker 1: forty five cents or whatever it was. But yeah, there's 1176 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 1: a bit of a sucker for Team You're thinking these 1177 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,760 Speaker 1: things are going to be good. And they're not. And 1178 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,200 Speaker 1: the one, one of the last one I got was 1179 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,280 Speaker 1: fat Separators. I've gone through a broke fat Separator said oh, 1180 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,800 Speaker 1: these ones are the exact team you. I'll buy three 1181 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,920 Speaker 1: of them for and as soon as I poured anything 1182 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,560 Speaker 1: hot and them, they just cracked and exploded and whilst 1183 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 1: every then I was like, right, well, that's why we'll 1184 00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 1: go back to the good ones. 1185 00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,200 Speaker 2: They're hitt and miss. I've got some from whether it's 1186 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 2: Ali Express or Timu, and they've been really good. But 1187 00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,160 Speaker 2: you can't choose the super cheap ones because otherwise you do. 1188 00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 1: That's right, Yep. 1189 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,360 Speaker 2: There is a little bit of truth to you get 1190 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:23,160 Speaker 2: what you pay for. 1191 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, but definitely as there was one hundred percent yep. 1192 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 1: And the original one we got from Rumm and Q 1193 00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,320 Speaker 1: and it lasted for sweat Lastly forever and it got 1194 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,919 Speaker 1: an absolute haiden and I think it actually got run 1195 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 1: over at the end killed it and it really did 1196 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,360 Speaker 1: kill it. So yeah, that could be on them centers 1197 00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:40,560 Speaker 1: less for this year. Yeah. 1198 00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:42,240 Speaker 2: I last got. The last thing I got off Timo 1199 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,680 Speaker 2: for barbecue was a set of I didn't actually realize 1200 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,360 Speaker 2: there was ten of them in the pack at first 1201 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,360 Speaker 2: when I bought it. I thought it was a single 1202 00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:53,480 Speaker 2: one like circular like a tray for chicken, but like 1203 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 2: a wire grill like so like your wire rack, but 1204 00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 2: circular one. And I was like, great, I'm going to 1205 00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 2: get there. It's about the size that I needed for 1206 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,080 Speaker 2: the pit. Bowed fitting perfectly and it turned up and 1207 01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,680 Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, great, size was all good. And 1208 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,919 Speaker 2: then when I picked it up and used it once, 1209 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,800 Speaker 2: I realized that these were pretty much like one off 1210 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:16,040 Speaker 2: use things because it just walked the thing and I 1211 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 2: was like, so, I guess this is one cook and 1212 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 2: it's done. So that's why I got pack. 1213 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 1: Of in Yeah. Yeah, they're like those barbecue sets used 1214 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,480 Speaker 1: to get given at Christmas time. You know. They had 1215 01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 1: a big set of long tongs and them and they 1216 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,440 Speaker 1: would have a scraping brush and I'd like three or 1217 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,360 Speaker 1: four of these sets and I'd use one thing out 1218 01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 1: of them and not use the race. Like but now 1219 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:37,960 Speaker 1: you run quite a lot of barbecue pats. You kind 1220 01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:39,320 Speaker 1: of find a bit of use for a lot of 1221 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 1: your stuff, you know, even if you've just used it 1222 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,040 Speaker 1: once and throw it away, Like the little yellow sweet 1223 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 1: corn skews you get for holding a corn job. That's 1224 01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:51,320 Speaker 1: not my jack card for for steaks, now, you know. Yeah, 1225 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,000 Speaker 1: so you find use in the rhythm. 1226 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:59,400 Speaker 2: Now, what is your guilty pleasure? What do you not 1227 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 2: want us to know that you love? 1228 01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:07,240 Speaker 1: There's probably a few Guildy pleasures as probably one of 1229 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 1: the most team us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Uh, 1230 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:21,840 Speaker 1: Gildy pleasures. I'd say I'm an absolutely sucker for loving 1231 01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,720 Speaker 1: a bottle of Woodstock rt D. 1232 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,600 Speaker 2: They're dirty, that is, Yeah. 1233 01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,720 Speaker 1: It is pretty dirty like it. Yeah, I love being 1234 01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 1: and you know i'd love being like that, But I'm 1235 01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,720 Speaker 1: absolutely sucker for a Woodstock RTD. I just don't know. 1236 01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:39,280 Speaker 1: I just love that. 1237 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,920 Speaker 2: Can you still get when they first came out, they 1238 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 2: came out in two variants. There was like the five 1239 01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,920 Speaker 2: percenter and then they had like a seven or eight percenter? 1240 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, they still get. I'm not sure I banned myself 1241 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,920 Speaker 1: from them because they used to make me wild. So yeah, 1242 01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:56,480 Speaker 1: I'm just I just stick on the five percent. 1243 01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:00,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think they may have been officially banned. Yeah. 1244 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, but now that's that's definitely I am. That's definitely 1245 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 1: a guilty pleasure of mine. 1246 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:07,640 Speaker 2: That's a goody, that is a goodie. That is what 1247 01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,080 Speaker 2: a guilty pleasure should be. You're slightly embarrassed by it 1248 01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 2: but you can't give, but still delicious. Exactly, Now, what 1249 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 2: keeps you saying? 1250 01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:23,920 Speaker 1: Kids saying? I guess there's probably combination of three. Barbecue 1251 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,560 Speaker 1: definitely keeps me saying. I've got quite a busy day job, 1252 01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,200 Speaker 1: got a dairy form and a lot of staff and 1253 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 1: things like that, and it's it's daily busy in the 1254 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,360 Speaker 1: day to day, so it's always good to go back 1255 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 1: and do something different, so say like careing or competition, 1256 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,840 Speaker 1: just to kind of walk away from you know, all 1257 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:46,280 Speaker 1: those things to get barbecue. And then I guess family 1258 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 1: as well. Got a young son and my wife and 1259 01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,640 Speaker 1: kind on the way, So I guess a combination between 1260 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:55,400 Speaker 1: all three. If you can mix all three of those 1261 01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:59,000 Speaker 1: into one week, then it's a great week. So yeah, 1262 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,360 Speaker 1: just trying to get that mix and match, right. 1263 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 2: Really, there we go, you know, barbecue, work, family, Yep. 1264 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,360 Speaker 1: That's exactly right, not not necessarily in that. 1265 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, mate, we've we've loved chatting to you tonight. 1266 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,919 Speaker 2: Where can people catch up online?
