Fill the coal basket to your desired level. Take out 40 briquettes (from the coal basket) and place in a chimney. Put the coal basket in the PBC with your vent cap (intake) set to 1/4 open (eyeball it). Light your chimney. When the coals are lit and glowing hot (however long it takes) dump the lit chimney over the top of the unlit coals in the PBC. Put your rebate in and place the lid on. Take this time to go prepare your meat. Wait at least 15-20 minutes before placing your food in the PBC. When you put your food in make sure you get it in quickly and shut the lid so your temps don't spike. That process will get you started. It may cook perfect for you or you will be a tad hot or maybe a tad cool. You can adjust your lit coals but 2-4 either at the start way to help with temps or make very slight adjustments to your vent cap until on your first couple cooks to get where you wanna be. Good luck and Welcome to our PBC community!

Hahaha.. Good one Norm. Yes An Aussie brethren schooled me and broke it down for me when it comes to Aussie Wagyu which this one is. Apparently AACo is a highly regarded producer have their own secondary grading system. Sort of like QC to be sure. May find this interesting Norm in doing what you do. He shed some light for me as you can see below. ****************** In Australia, we now have three distinctive different strains of Wagyu Cattle. These are Purebred, Crossbred and Fullblood. It is important that you know what the difference is. Purebred – The purebred Wagyu was developed as a result of the breeding of Fullblood or Purebred Wagyu bulls with the base cow such as Angus. From this initial mating, called a first cross, the heifer is retained and mated back to a Fullblood or Purebred bull. The progeny of this second mating results in the F2. The progeny from the mating then produces the 3rd cross and so on until four crosses have been made. This animal is recognised in the USA and Australia breeding programmes as Purebred. It is not recognised in Japan (and is called a Crossbred) as it contains inferior genes. Crossbreed (or F1) – This description is the largest selling style of beef that is produced and sold in Japan. It is the result of a Wagyu genetics (sire) being crossed with another breed (in Japan mainly Holstein from the dairy industry). The resultant beef must contain 50% Wagyu genetics. This beef is purchased for home consumption or served in family style of restaurants. Crossbred beef is produced in Australia using Wagyu genetics (sire) crossed with Angus or Holstein. Raised and processed correctly these cattle produce a superior product to that of their dams breed. It is the branding of this beef in Australia as Wagyu that is causing confusion and disappointment to consumers. Crossbreed beef does not have the same eating experience as Fullblood Japanese Wagyu beef. In Japan, farmers are not allowed to use the term Wagyu when marketing crossbreed (F1) beef. Guidelines have recently been instituted to disallow imported Crossbreed (F1) beef using the term Wagyu to stop any any confusion for consumer. Blackmore Wagyu Beef would be in favour of similar guidelines being introduced worldwide. Fullblood – This is the Japanese Black Wagyu that has not had any other breed introduced into their bloodlines. The Australian Wagyu Association defines Fullblood Wagyu as “The offspring of a Wagyu Sire and a Wagyu Dam whose forebears originate from Japan and whose pedigrees show no evidence of any grading up from the base animals”. If I am buying Waghu I try and buy David Blackmore's product. It is claimed to be Australia's best product. Blackmore Wagyu Beef has consistently been achieving some of the best meat grades outside of Japan. Full-blood Wagyu cattle are increasingly being graded 9+, higher than the highest grade in Australia. Blackmore Wagyu Beef’s breeding program is based on tried and proven traditional Japanese farming practices that have been successfully adapted to Australian conditions. Blackmore Wagyu Beef calves are raised on their mothers milk and pasture for the first 12 months, which is the most natural and healthy method, and leaves them free from respiratory problems, disease and antibiotics. After this time calves are housed in an open sided barn to protect them from the elements and are fed a secret ration for 550-650 days. The ration is free of genetically modified foods, allowing the Wagyu to be produced without the use of antibiotics and growth hormones. I do not know what animal are used for the Greg Norman product. It seems to be on the grain for 300 days. Both the days on grain and the bloodline are important. The following prices ex Vic's Meat Sydney web are: Security Foods 500 day Grain Fed F1 Wagyu Beef — min. Marble 9+ Bone Less Scotch Fillet - approx. 4kg $125.00 per kilo Strap On Beef Tenderloin - approx. 3kg $125.00 per kilo Bone Less Striploin — approx. 5kg $125.00 per kilo Rump — approx. 6kg $35 per kilo Oyster Blade — approx. 3kg $39.50 per kilo Chuck Roll — approx. 5kg $35 per kilo Tri-Tip — approx. 1.5kg $45 per kilo Short Rib — approx. 1kg $89.50 per kilo Blackmore 600 day Grain Fed Full Blood Wagyu Beef — min. Marble 9+ Bone Less Scotch Fillet - approx. 4kg $160.00 per kilo Strap On Beef Tenderloin - approx. 3kg $160.00 per kilo Bone Less Striploin — approx. 5kg $160.00 per kilo Rump — approx. 6kg $49.50 per kilo Oyster Blade — approx. 3kg $49.50 per kilo As you can see both products have similar grain feeding (500 & 600 day) and fat content (9+) but the Full Blood is about a third dearer!!! Just to provide more information it sought to determine the quality of the Greg Norman Signature Waghu. Could get to any detailed info. It is produced by AAco Australia. Firstly the web shows: Greg Norman Australian Prime ©Broadleaf 2010 - Present. All Rights Reserved.

Great info Sako.
The only thing I do not agree with is the non use of meds. If you get sick you need to have them, so do cattle. We do not use them unless necessary in our cattle, they're expensive and ever try giving a 1000# wild steer a shot... :) That said I'm impressed their genetics. |
