Never forget to Treat yourself β€οΈ
De-boned lamb loin chops with Pork sausage from Mapari Meats and fried beans.π€€
Chops seasoned with Intensify then rolled and tied followed by a light sprinkle of Ramrod from Rum and Que
π₯Seared for a couple of minutes either side in a cast iron pan then placed on their edges to render that fat and make the perfect lamb crackling, thus was the time I added the sausage to the pan too
I Kept rolling around on the edges until
An internal temperature in the lamb of 120f, and 170 for the snag. rested for 5 minutes sliced and served.
Life changing π

King of the Mountain BBQ Competition 2026 ποΈπ₯ β New Plymouth! Huge thanks to Smokn Comrades and the team for another epic event! π€π
ππ¨ Friday we hitched the trailer up to the new towrig (see what I did there..) and headed for the mighty Mountain. I loathe to say it, but that thing has put the Hilux to shame π Over 10 hours of heavy driving and getting out feeling refreshed is a huge win! π
Once at comp, we realised it had felt like an eternity since seeing the Barbecue Brothers & Sisters β€οΈβπ₯ So good to catch up properly afterwards at The Corner for a few refreshments π»
π₯ We had a solid cook and thought things were looking promising, but got hit hard in a couple of proteins, landing us 11th overall.
π₯ Best result was 3rd in pork! This made my weekend! We haven't managed a pork trophy in over 2 years, and even then that was the only one on the shelf. Until now! ππ·
π Ribs were our second best, and these really played hardball when boxing up π but still pulled 7th.
π Massive congratulations to Cook Cartel for their GC and automatic entry into the BBQ World Cup & Expo, representing NZ in LAS VEGAS! π³πΏπΊπΈπ₯
Rum and Que were this π€ close behind, just 2 points in fact, for RGC! π₯
π Hat tip to Joint Smokers BBQ for 1st place chicken ππ and Smokesman Competition Bbq Team Team for 4x top 10 calls! π₯
And to everyone else who came and gave it their best shot β especially the new teams! β€οΈ See ya next time! π€
