Last night I had a craving to make something, anything, and this morning I woke up and knew what it should be.

I’ve wanted a hot smoker for a while. It doesn’t need to be fancy, just enough to smoke a couple of fish.

So off we went. A few hours later we returned with parts from a mini BBQ, a large wok and wood chips. And a pheasant.

I set to work and pretty soon we had the pheasant underway.

Half way though, S1 announced she had found a kids buggy on sale… with only 2 left in stock. So off we set on a mercy dash.

An hour later we returned, buggy in hand, to enjoy a beech smoked pheasant.

That’s a pretty successful day no matter how you look at it.
