Cyril won't get the full $1200 back.

Yes, $1200 is the extra tax he paid, however he also had extra income this year (he's now worked 52 weeks plus been paid for a bonus 2 weeks of annual leave cashed in), so Cyril is understanding there is clearly some extra tax to be paid.

The numbers in Cyril's example have been rounded, so its hard to pin point exactly where the income sits, but assuming Cyril earns around the $70,000 mark normally, cashing in 2 weeks annual leave wont push him from the 32.5c bracket to the 37c bracket (which kicks in at 90k pa), as such, on the extra $3k he earns that year, he'll pay in the 32c bracket, so he'll get back 16c per dollar, not the full 48c per dollar.

Round numbers, he'll get back 1/3 of the extra tax withheld in that pay period.

NB: The above does not take into account things like the medicare levy. Cyril should seek independent financial advice rather than relying on internet forum nupties like us! :lol:


The Doc and Amber show.
Has a good ring too it!

I can ask Cyril to make guest appearances, his friend Peter the Phantom Puller is always good for a laugh.

Has anybody started off with a smaller, cheaper smoker with any great success?

Tossing up whether to start with something smaller and see if it tickles my fancy or go slightly balls deep knowing I'll fall in love with the process immediately.

My $200 jobbie from Bunnings has done the trick so far, can't see myself upgrading any time soon either, this one suits me just fine.

Yeah, at a guess that's the one the missus wants us to get, I suggested one of the smaller ones first, she's probably right on this account.

Does yours have the side box or is it the char-deluxe?

Off set smoke / fire box as attached.

Was actually thinking this weekend I might have to fire it up again, haven't done one for a few weeks.

I done some American Pork Ribs in the weber on the weekend and it has inspired the need for a smoker.

My next cook I'm giving the unwrapped for XX hours, wrapped for XX hours, unwrapped for XX hours a go.

Typically 4 hours unwrapped, 2 hours wrapped, 1 hour unwrapped / rested is the go.

You can smoke in the weber as well, just add some wood chips you've soaked over night to get it going.

Yeah i smoke in the weber most weekends. TBH i dont even bother soaking the wood chips in water before hand these days and just wack them straight on the coals. The smoked flavour isnt as strong but it means i can just let the smoke go through the entire cook and not have to worry about wrapping early on.

IS the wrapping as simple as using foil and piercing a few holes in it? (absolute ignoramus with this stuff)

This weekends recipe is a part of a 3-2-1 system :

3 hours - Set smoker to 225 F degrees. Brush a glaze over the ribs, on both sides. Sprinkle generously with rub, then smoke for 3 hours.

2 hours - Transfer ribs to aluminum foil sheets, season with sugar, fold foil up on the sides and top with another sheet of foil, wrap together to seal the top and bottom sheets, leaving one end open. Pour in some liquid (apple cider, bourbon, etc), then seal completely and return to smoker for another 2 hours.

1 hour - Remove ribs from foil and place back in smoker and brush with bbq sauce. Smoke for 1 hour, cranking up the temperature the last 15 minutes or so to get stickier ribs.

American Pork Ribs were $12 a kilo @ Specialty Foods last week.

Live on my Weber during winter.

Perfect excuse to get outside, avoid doing cleaning jobs and get the credit of an amazing meal at the end.

Did a 8 hour lamb shoulder a couple of weekends ago and was amazing, last weekend was a pork belly and today was some lamb shanks cooked in a red wine sauce.

Tried doing a red wine sauce for my shanks last week, red wine should be reserved for a wine glass IMO, they were still nice but my more traditional methods trump that.
