Re: Any decent charcoal deals on at the moment?

Hi Rob,

I had looked at their website but no prices displayed - I guess you need to call.

Hi stu,

Yes you need to call, delivery charges I guess depend on amount and distance, well worth ordering a pallet of this stuff though, it ...

Re: Tesco 'Flame Academy'

Not much to add to what's been said, apart from the name tells you everything that's wrong about this stunt. We all of course know that "flames" are the enemy of barbecue!

Re: Any decent charcoal deals on at the moment?

Direct charcoal do restaurant grade with lumps the size of my head, £7.50 for 12kg. Unbelievably cheap for the best charcoal I've ever used. Not sure of delivery charges (I drive out there - Peak District - twice a year and pick up a six month supply. Burns hotter and longer than anything I've used.

Re: DIY food dehydrator

Sadly we don't have a fan oven, and our gas oven runs too hot. Upgrading to a fan oven later this year, but this rig has more capacity, uses less juice, runs cool and won't make the kitchen sweltering hot!

DIY food dehydrator

With a glut of poblano peppers about to be harvested, I wanted a dehydrator to dry them into ancho chiles. Prices range from £30 for a flimsy piece of junk to hundreds of pounds for ones with stainless steel racks. Then I had a thought: I have a cold smoker cabinet with steel racks, all I needed to ...

Re: Set and forget options in British weather

That's really useful thanks. I've been considering a similar rig to cover me, the smoker and the kit for a while. This looks doable even for a novice like myself!

Set and forget options in British weather

My UDS serves me well, and I enjoy much of the ritual of cooking on it... BUT...

sometimes I yearn for an easy life, and find myself considering an electric smoker. I know I would be forgoing much of the fun, not to mention the bark. I can sacrifice that. What keeps me from buying one is rain. I ...
