More details, man

Haha

I need to order me some proper wood for this beast!

Ordering my electronic components to do the Pi temp controller as well today when I get a second!

Don't hotlink images - Rilot

Where from and how much.
Oh and awesom

 

[monkeyspank]

this thread gets better and better

 

[randomshenans]

I got it on German eBay for 299 euros delivered, which, even if it's thin metal (sure it will be, not a cast iron beast) it's still worth it! Should be fun.

Oh, and this kinda goes here too:

The best combo...

I also currently have ribs and pork joint on the BBQ for tonight. Bliss

That's really tempting - I need a fourth bbq

 

[randomshenans]

This is my 3rd. It would be 4th but binned an old crap round job, and we now never use the gas one, because, well, you know.

What kind of food do these beasts produce? Description please!

Right I timed my charcoal chimney

One nr lighting block
Chimney nearly full of lump wood charcoal

And we're off

12 minutes till I could tip it out and put the grill on probably a couple more to heat the grill up

I'm going to film it next

What were the coals actually like after 12 mins? Fully lit? I've never achieved 12 minutes chimney time.

 

[Raymond Lin]

That took 20 minutes. 12 mins the top coals were still all black.

They're not coals though, they're artificial lumps of compressed bull**** .

Nice DoF though.

The artificial ones give a more even heat for a longer time so generally speaking you're better off using them for any kind of smoking or slow cooking.

I use local coppice lump wood charcoal which is very very light, you could almost light it off a lighter alone.

Top coals were red but not white, I'd imagine compressed waste sorry briquettes would take longer

 

[FrenchTart]

I'm not getting the hate for briquette charcoal

Unless it's some hippy belief thing

 

[Maccapacca]

Mine come from 8 miles from my house, from a managed coppice wood in heavy paper bags and sewn with string by an old guy who uses a kiln and a lighter.

Briquettes are industrially made from sawdust and starch or mined coal, the last pack of briquettes I looked at came from Korea in a paper / plastic bag with loads of coloured print on it.

There really is no need for imported briquettes what so ever when we have plenty of managed woodlands here in the UK and your hard earned money would not go abroad.

Small fry in the scale of things but it works for me

Sounds great (once again in a very hippy way). I've nothing against lump wood, especially for certain situations (i.e. grilling) but when you're smoking for 10 hours I would imagine that the annoyance would quickly outweigh any perceived benefit
