          Went to work on the rig, I need to finish it. The wife’s birthday on Wednesday and she mentioned eating out of the rig for a birthday present. Don’t see it happening
          While there I did a dry run on the smoker before my brisket smoke on Monday to see the effects of my changes. As mentioned before I added two additional air vents to the RHS of the smoker. During the test the infrared burners seem to be starved of air after a short while of burning and if I don’t have the exhaust valve fully open it seems as if they won’t burn. Not enough oxygen? The 2 ring gas burner seems happy. The infrared burners will not be used for smoking but to heat up the box and water and help get the wood smoking. I will be using them when the box doubles as a pizza oven. I obviously must add more inlets or is there something I am not getting….some guidance please.

              60ml Tomato Sauce
              60ml (you know what)
              50ml Vinegar
              60ml Brown Sugar
              30ml Chutney

            When I was in about 5th grade, a local cafe featured monkey gland steak--minute steak with a tasty sauce. I didn't know until maybe ten years ago that it was an actual dish from SA instead of something they just made up. Still have very fond memories of that dish. We need more places doing braai in the US.

                Many thanks to you, holehogg . We made your monkey gland sauce last night, served alongside our first ever hanger steaks, and it was superb! Thanks again for sharing the recipe, although it was pretty tough finding the monkey glands. LOL

                May all your Braai be excellent!
