    Did baby backs today.  This past week I took great interest in @The Cen-Tex Smoker's discussion about burying the smoking wood at the bottom of the lump pile, so the volatiles get burned before reaching your protein.  Bought a box of post oak from the "Fruita-wood" site that someone else mentioned, and my first-ever Weber chimney starter, and gave them a go this morning.
     
    My egg is on a PVC deck, so I couldn't light, or set down, the chimney there.  I thought about starting it on the grate, then picking it up and removing the grate, and then pouring in the lit coals.  This would've required three hands, even if I was coordinated.  Finally thought to just set the chimney on top of the old lump in the Egg, with the smoking chunk lightly buried underneath, giving it a head-start.  Lit the newspaper, and set my timer for 15 minutes per the chimney instructions.
     
    Came out in 15 minutes and the chimney was roaring; so was the old lump around the base of the chimney, yikes!  The plastic handle on my new chimney was only a few inches above the hot lump, but wasn't damaged.  I grabbed the two handles and poured the lump out, spraying sparks everywhere.  I noticed a couple pieces of lump stuck in the wires of the chimney, about the same time I smelled burning hair. Gah!!  So, I'm running for the garage (cement floor) with the chimney in one hand and slapping my head with the other; fortunately I only singed a few hairs (and am due for a haircut anyway).  Glad no phone cameras were involved.  
     
    This was about the quickest way I've ever gotten my Egg up to cooking temp; will just have to figure out a better lighting sequence.

    @Battleborn The sauce is a roux then chicken broth, green chilies, and cumin - add sour cream at the end. That goes on as the base of the pizza. Then add shredded chicken, green chilies, and Mexican crumble cheese

    For the benefit of @alaskanassasin - my yard broom brother from another mother I bring sad news.
      
    I am presently taking a moment in silent contemplation.  A loyal companion and servant - lost in the line of duty this morning.  
    Years of reliable service displacing detritus of myriad form,  sadly it ended today - upside down in a drain, trying to purge a sediment blockage.
    Valiant to the end.  Good-bye my friend.

    I'm in the South East - very wet,  winds have died down.  The water tables are high, so there's a lot of flooding.  Much worse elsewhere.    
    We are paying the price for not managing water course properly and building on flood plains. 

    Also @eoin is banned from answering this as he has shouldered arms and slid off to Portugal.  A shameful act of self-protection.   =)

    Just balled up some dough for tonight:


    My dough was better in last night’s pizza. I reduced the hydration to 65% and it worked well.

    We left home at 3.30 this mornong to drive to the airport. It was raining steadily, a lot of standing water on the road. Around Nottingham, the road was flooded with a dead car in the middle of it. Made it with a detour, some flooded sections, Dom walked through the worst one to make sure it wasn't too deep!

    Got to the hotel at about 12. View from the balcony.



    On the down side, I have a bad cold, but by experimenting I've found that a couple of cold beers makes me feel much better.
    Got a cold??  Coming through an airport soon????  Two weeks in isolation for you if you sneeze at the wrong moment!

    Watching the race, between raindrops.  Made myself a little snack - Berkshire pork belly burnt ends.  Now these are tasty!
