here's the top 5ish culinary highlights in no particular order
... and custard squares. Wanaka bakery in Alberton, and Twizel. FFS. Ridiculous.
Do custard squares even exist outside of NZ?
Apparently 'vanilla slice' in Aus ... but no idea how they stack up. Good ones are sublime.

@Crucial said in Recipes, home grown goodness, BBQing and food stuff:
Aren’t the best custard squares the one from Pleasant Point? Probably the ones mentioned above as Timaru
Are those the Denheath ones? If so, they're good - but I'd rate the other two I had higher.
Greatest regret: not far enough south for a cheese roll. Will have to make my own again.

One of the best pieces of meat I've had in quite some time.
28 day dry aged grass fed Angus.
Dry brined for about 6 hrs before a reverse sear at 250°F on the Family Q.Turned out brilliantly, the flavour was strong but not overpowering.
Please excuse the shitty cutting board, couldn't be arsed getting the good wood one out as the smell had driven my wife and I hunger crazed.

Colloquially called a "Snot Block" over here in Aus.
And yes, as always, of course it's an Australian invention and not stolen/borrowed from elsewhere and especially not from New Zealand, I swear judge!

just got a lamb shoulder and a couple of pork shoulders today. Smoking in the near future ... can't wait
Love lamb shoulder. It's so lush and takes a lot of smoke really well

Like @canefan, absolutely love lamb shoulder, rate it much higher than a leg of lamb.
Are you planning on slicing or pulling it?
What rub do you use for the lamb?

Probably slice it,
usually just use the rub from Meathead's book - or just ad hoc something. Lamb has a lovely flavour, doesn't need much additions.

I like this one
Personally I always pull shoulder. It just breaks down so nice and softly

If u can't break it down with 2 forks and pull the bone out with your fingers, it isn't done

fair. It's something I struggle with on the Bubba Keg - I'll smoke for 7-8 hours at 225F, but still have a fair bit of structure to the meat - it doesn't easily get to a pullable state.
May have to really give it more time when smoking next -- I often get pushed for time as I'm an optimist. Briskets go overnight, so I don't worry nearly as much

Increase your cooking temperature to 275F. The meat can handle it. And wrap or boat it too at about the 4 hour mark if you want it to be soft as at 7 or 8 hours

Do you spray yours to take more smoke? I may try that too - my smoke threshold is lifting, and kamado don't let you over-smoke things easily

When I remember to spritz but sometimes not. If you want more smoke I would definitely use wood chunks. Some nice Pohutukawa or fruit wood

Do you use a water bath in your Kamado?
When I had my Kamado Joe, I always used a water bath, usually just a small AL foil tray, in with it and that helped the meat take on the smoke by keeping the surrounding air more humid.
I also use the same when smoking now on the Webber Family Q.
