Hello from Silverstone

Hi there wonderfull folk

Came a across the brilliant site fooling around on a US site. How awesome that we are doing ing something vaugely similar across the pond.

Anyway I've been BBQing for the last 16 years. Should say I make all my own contraptions and have numerous BBQ's a wood fired pizza oven and an authentic wood fired tandoori oven, my favorite toy!!!

Looking forward to get Involved a little and enjoy some bbq love.

Should say I'm part way through constructing an reverse flow off set smoker for the long and slow thing, a new way of cooking for me

Hello! I did a UDS with homemade stoker as a stop gap to a proper build. When I get time I'm hoping to make a chest style unit with stoker. Would love a tandoor. Did you make it from clay?

Hey folks, cheers for the welcome

I've just taken delivery of sheet of 4mm checker plate and some heavy duty angle iron, all second hand but in good nick.

This will be my fire box, cook chamber is a 47kg propane bottle. Cutting and welding will commence this afternoon.

The tandoor is a clay built unit which I got from a place in Park Royal. Chap there builds them into stainless steel units for restaurants selling for about £2K, I just blagged a clay tandoor from him and copied a design I saw in India which consisted of pouring a concrete base in a 55 gallon drum then sitting tandoor on top, filling with insulation and making cover. It's simple, portable and works an absolute treat
