    On New World's website they have "Beef Wing Rib Roast" for $24.99/kg. Is that rib eye, sirloin, or something else (like chuck rib roll)?

    https://www.ishopnewworld.co.nz/product/5119176_kgm_000nw?name=beef-wing-rib-roast

    Yup, Sirloin.

    Last three weekends in a row, I have done a four bone in Rib-eye (Scotch) smoked for 3 hours until 120f and rested for a few hours until ready to eat and then sear and serve! Every time it has been with a different group of people and every time they say it is the best steak they have ever had.

    Reverse sear is the best 👌

    @canefan I had never heard of reverse until a couple of months back, and have seen it mentioned alot lately so just googled it to find out how to do it...will likely give it a whirl on the weekend.

    You get a more consistent cook from the surface all the way through. My beef roast came out beautiful and pink. Check out https://amazingribs.com/ Meat Goldwyn is the man. Even better, buy his book and it can take pride of place at home

    Just to add to @canefan remarks, which I completely agree with, make sure you buy a meat thermometer as unless you are highly skilled at the touch test, you will likely over cook it

    Absolutely. Even better buy a dual probe model that measures the ambient temperature in the bbq as well, because the ones that come in the bbq are usually not accurate. I use a maverick 2 probe and a thermopro TP20.

    Not expensive but it will take your bbq to the next level.

    I love to serve the beef with some chimichurri sauce. Delish

    I hear you @canefan but for the first time a simple meat thermometer will do to check after a couple of hours. When I took the BBQ fishing I left the dual probes at home and took a standard stab and read thermometer and the meat turned out perfect.

    an in any case, when cooking slabs like this, perfect has a massive degree of variance as you can overcook it slightly and it will still be juicy and tender and most importantly, tasty!

    Oh yeah. I did a wagyu scotch over Xmas and cooked it accidentally to medium. As long as the meat is good it will still be tender.

    I am a big Aaron Franklin fan. If you can get your hands on a turkey, his technique is easy and awesome. Guaranteed to turn even the hardened anti-turkey eaters

    This is part 1 of 3

    #metoo. Got a little one because the little CFs don't like it. But I love it, I also inject the breast with olive oil before cooking

    Good turkey is really hard. The best you get is 'mildly moist in places' -- and to cook it properly you probably need to chop it into pieces, in which chase why bother having a turkey in the first place 🙂

    Personally, I far prefer 2-3 good chooks to a turkey. That, and plenty of good crispy skin with succulent moist meat...

    I am sorry but I totally disagree with this! Done correctly it isn't too hard to do a perfectly moist turkey through out in a standard over. I find Delia Smith's Christmas Turkey unbreakable for a perfectly cooked Chrissy Turk

    Fair enough - but I have found it rare to get a decent turkey from people. Maybe I'm too influenced by Meathead - see link below on his thoughts. Have done a few in my time, but I find they are never as good as a well cooked chicken.

    I think the bigger they are the harder to get even cooking, but it is possible. The father in law cooks the traditional bird with stuffing every Xmas. He's like a machine, perfect every time. I have done Franklin's method a couple of times and it was great each time. Worth exploring

    @Tim the jar isn’t the issue. Get them from the warehouse. They do them by the stack.

    @Hooroo With the jars I was wondering what kind of tops to get, for avoiding spills or explosions.

    I hear you but Briscoes and Warehouse do fermenting jars of all sizes and they do the job.(tops included)
