Another Hello From Bedfordshire

[derekmiller]

Hi All.

I am also in Bedfordshire, but originally from Hertfordshire (Stevenage). I am very new to low & slow, and smoking, but have been outdoor grilling for more years than I would like to own up to.

Was doing some research between the WSM and The ProQ XL20, when I came across this site, some excellent information, so joined, still don’t know which way to go though.

My main cooking activities are on lump wood charcoal, but do resort to gas every now and then.
Currently have to cook on: Weber One Touch Premium (57) with rotisserie and wok. . 3 open top charcoal BBQs. Trinidad Gas BBQ with grate, griddle and bowl. Paella 300mm gas burner with 28cm, 36cm & 42cm pans. Chiminea. Fire pit.
As you can see all fast cooking.

Also I am attempting to build a proper clay oven, but having trouble sourcing some decent (and free) clay.
So Hi to all, and hopefully start to pick up tips on the low & slow and smoking.

Hi Gazz. replied to your pm, yes I was a member on the previous forum he had.
I did a one day course in Cambridge on building the ovens from raw materials, still have the urge to do that..

Thanks Keith, might just hold you to that, If I am ever allowed back, ,can see you are fairly busy at the moment though.

Much obliged I've checked the map and they appear to be just this side of the "Here be Dragons" warning
