Hi All
Well I have started the roast and some potatoes I am still not that confident what I have done will work.
I put 18 beads on the lid and 14 beads under according to all the charts that should give me bout 230 degrees of heat I didn't feel comfortable with the amount so I added 4 more on lid and 4 more under totaling 22 on lid 18 under.
I pre heated to 190 - 200 degrees before putting roast and spuds fingers crossed as I sit here typing I can smell an aroma which could be a good thing here's hoping.

love the enthusiasm chris Smiley

I had a go at a rolled pork shoulder roast for the first time last weekend.

I'll add a few pics here seeing that you don't have any Grin

was mainly after the tender meat, and it worked superbly for that. will try for the crackling next time.
