Building your own offset smoker is no small feat, but it is a lot of fun. This is how I approached it. This is part I.
Potato and Fennel Soup
Potato and fennel soup is a creamy, delicious soup that works just as well during fall and spring. It takes less than half an hour to make.
Hearty lamb stew
Here’s a hearty autumn stew made with lamb, freshly flavored with fig jelly, lemons and apples. Leave it to simmer for a few hours, then dig in!
Pickled Red Onion
Pickled red onion is a great side dish that goes well with many dishes, especially during fall season. It is easy to make and you can add a bit of chili if you like. The brine is a classic 1-2-3 brine.
Västerbotten pie
Västerbotten pie is a cheese pie, an easy pie to make. Let it accompany a crayfish dinner, or let it play first fiddle in a lighter meal. The name comes from the particular cheese used. If you can’t get Västerbotten cheese, try using a mature cheddar instead. Here we give it an extra twist by adding sundried tomatoes.
Topside beef with black pepper
Topside beef is used for roast beef among other things. It is lean and takes well to flavoring. Here we rub it generously with ground black pepper. It is cooked using indirect heat on the grill as usual.

Homemade beef sausage
Making your own homemade sausages is fun, and relatively easy. You need a meat grinder, but except for that all ingredients can be found in your grocery store. Here we’re combining leaner meat (boneless beef outside) with slighly fattier meat (veal shoulder) and pure fat (beef tallow) to make tasty beef sausages. This has a relatively neutral flavoring, but it is a good base for further experimenting.
Veggie plate
Here’s a mouth watering veggie plate, a 4-in-1 with corn, pineapple, halloumi and quinoa. They all go very well together, and the pineapple is grilled for extra sweetness.
