Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.
And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

- @alex@bobiverse.social: Wow. Super happy. We made this Masterbuilt. Even more fun than Lego. I couldn’t have attempted the challenge without my boy. We had so much fun even before we start smoking #weeknotes pic.twitter.com/h3j5ZeR1bQ

- @alex@bobiverse.social: So here we have the internal temperature of the smoker against the internal temps of the pastrami and the two gammon joints. We’re going to raise the temp of the pastrami to 74C as per Meathead “BBQ Whisperer, Hedonism Evangelist” ‘s advice #weeknotes pic.twitter.com/swGJ2iOJvs
