This is the hottest sauce ive ever had, i dare you to try it
Was recommended the dirty dozen from a colleague. Only tried a few to date, both rubs and marinades have been excellent.
Big K Marabu Charcoal Test
The same as the other charcoal tests that I have done for a bit of fun and to offer some insights into different charcoals. I fill the same starter chimney with charcoal, weigh it, light it, and then the flames hit near the top and go into the gateway Drum Smoker. The Flame Boss 200 maintains the set temperature at 230°F, and we can see how hard the fan has to work to do so. We can see the temperature fluctuations measured by the Flame Boss and compare them to the readings from the ThermaQ, a calibrated thermometer.
Description
Marabu charcoal is growing in popularity in professional kitchens and among barbecue connoisseurs, and it is easy to see why. Made sustainably by harvesting wood from the very invasive thorn bush, which grows aggressively and encroaches on land which must be controlled. Due to its density, it makes a fantastic hardwood charcoal, which is long-lasting, up to 3 hours, and flavoursome; however, you may experience a small amount of sparking whilst burning from this type of charcoal.
