@Hooroo yep it's brisket, bone in from westmere butchers. And yes, it does look like ribs ๐
Could have sworn it was short rib. the bones would do a good job of shielding the meat from the heat

Yeah same as the bone is so wide for a brisket.

No need for a heat shield

Anyone got any recipes or tips for cooking a large pork? I have been tasked with the pork for Xmas day this year.
I typically cook pork belly or shoulder, but neither will work (belly = awesome crackling but too fatty for the fam, shoulder = crap crackling).
So I need to do a rolled loin or leg I guess. Have done both before, but never totally happy with either.
Suggestions welcome, need to make 5-6kgs, ideally with stuffing and gravy. Crackling a must!

definitely a brisket! There's a flat and a point, it's super fatty ... the short rib comes from just above the brisket I think

@Snowy your wardrobe.....
That was my point - I need a summer hat.
You're assuming my head is bigger than your head. Or insert joke about needing multiple pointy head bosses here ...

Do you have a rotisserie and can cook over coals?
Get your butcher to roll a shoulder. Swing that onto your rotisserie and you will have amazing crackling and beautiful sweet meat that is easy to carve. (Personally, I think they are better not stuffed but a good butcher will easily roll and stuff it).
I put a tinfoil tray with shallots and garlic in it underneath to catch fat and make gravy out of that.

@Hooroo Nah, Sydney. And I don't have a rotisserie either ๐ฉ
Early Christmas pressie for yourself is required!! Once you buy one, you will keep using it constantly. Such an easy way to cook perfection.

Ok boys, advice needed. My brotherโs going to fire up his new kamado around midday and asked me something I need an answer to. His kamado comes with a cast iron charcoal plate grate thing. It fits into the firebox but we donโt know if the charcoal sits on top of or underneath this thing. Or is it optional to have it at all?
Also, whatโs the best thing to light the charcoal with?
