smokers New toy. Cheap azzzz gas smoker

Ended up with S.B.Ray's honey and chipotle BBQ sauce/ apple cider vinegar half half with sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper and garlic.
 
Next time round I'm gonna try a Cambodian style mop/glaze with palm sugar, fish sauce, garlic and black pepper.

Oh yeah. With naam phrik khao soi (chili paste with soybean oil). Like the pok pok wings basically what you just posted.
 
Grant, here's the secret (no more) recipe:

Half an hour after first mop/glaze.  Flipped it skin side down to let the liquids pool on top and work their way down.  One more mop/glaze in an hour then let it bark up until pull time.
Already got some good colour compared to 6 hours naked.  Btw smoke is hickory chunk.

So...went the Camodian style caramelised pepper pork (Koh saich ch'rook)
 
Real palm sugar.  Reduced palm sap over a hardwood fire makes for a distinticve flavour.  Soft and crumbly texture with a smoky note.

Made a brine from the ingredients I'd normally cook pork belly in to make Koh.
Water, fish sauce (3 crabs brand), palm sugar, fresh garlic and Kampot pepper.  Mortar and pestle then strain.  3/4 cup to inject, 1/4 cup to mop.

Asian slaw topper, on a sweet roll. 
 
Leg of lamb bone in low n slow over smoke.
 
Injected a marinade of lemon juice, lemon zest, bay leaf, rosemary, garlic, black pepper and 1 Tbs fish sauce.
Except for the garlic, all fresh from the garden

Made a paste of the herbs and pepper in the mortar and pestle.  Added lemon juice, fish sauce and 1 Tbs evoo.  Injected about 80 ml all up.

This is the strained solids mixed with evoo and harrissa paste that will become the mop/glaze later with natural yoghurt added last mop/glaze last hour.
Gonna go for IT 91C/196F same as pork.
