I went through there July last year to the Baviaans and plan on doing so again this year

Nice pic from fairly high up in the kloof

Bertus, I know some people that have the same struggle with chicken...they can never get it right...either off to early or on too long...and pre-cooking to me is abit of a no-no...it makes the meat tough and the flavour seems to be missing a bit...

But kudo's for hanging in there.

Thanks for all the positive comments gents! It was quite an adventure (and a lot of planning and prep), but so worth it!

Guess I'll just have to try again this weekend, you know?

A six and a half hour pork belly. You win this thread!

 

Agreed! Actually glad now that I forgot to take a pic of the wors, pork rashers and chicken kebabs I did on Monday night, 'cos it just wouldn't have compared!! :lol:

 

A completely different aspect to braaing, we've started doing marshmellows with the kids when we braai with real wood...

This has given me the idea to do Eisbein for the first time, in the oven.

I trust you had a braai before the braai so that you could at least eat something and not starve to death

I tried brisket in the Weber once, but only smoked it for a couple of hours (basically until the coals ran out) and then put it in the oven in a dish covered in foil on low heat.  Still had the smoked flavor, was fall apart tender without the hassle of having to keep the coals and woods going...
