Any question answered...

generally you will struggle to use two cooking zones at once, the grill is done with the lid open, the bbq aspect requires lid to be closed.

Where can I get Gorilla tape in Shoreditch? Or anywhere between there and SE15 I guess.

Now? No idea.

Normal hours, the maplins by Liverpool Street on the Morgate side.

Right, but if you have a grill with more than 2 zones and a lid, then that's a BBQ when you indirect cook* with the lid down surely?

Or am I missing something here?

At the moment for gas I'm looking at a minimum of 3 zones / burners.

I like the electric Green wood chip burner thing but the budget has been set at a max of £200. So I'm more tempted to get an inexpensive but decent charcoal BBQ / grill with a lid. That way I have a known medium.

The question over a second hand decent one still stands though.

*Ie one zone on, one zone off with food over the off zone.

BBQ = outdoor cookery.
Gas bbqs are great. Weeknight dinner sorted in 20 minutes. Remember to get a solid hotplate as well as a grill.

Yeah, don't need it right now! Tomorrow is fine. Good, I'll go to Maplins on my lunchtime Raphe run.

There's a Leyland SDM on the corner of shoreditch high st and great eastern st.

You have no clue.

How squared-off is too squared-off for a tyre? How about the attached? Or does everyone just wear them right down to the canvas?

Just keep going till you hit a puncture or two.

are you building an offset smoker?

if it gets very squared off i tend to find cornering in the wet seems to become a little more exciting

Anybody travelling to the US anytime soon want to bring back a pair of Flo rims for me? Did this for a few people a year or so ago.

It's a vertical drum smoker - although I'm considering chucking a small drum next to it for cold smokes.

It's usable as is, but I want to make it betterer:

1. Give the current (ugly matte) paint job a rub down, and paint it with some VHT gloss paint & lacquer - then it won't be so fugly.
   
2. Get hold of a 12v 8Ah battery (and do away with trailing cables into the house)
   
3. Build a side tray & hooks for tools
   
4. Build a nicer chimney
   
5. Find a spare 57cm kettle lid & hinge (and do away with the flat drum lid)
   
   

And then it's test mode time.

In theory, I should be able to get 24 hours of cook time with the size of fuel basket and the battery (for the blower, damper & PID)

I'll be testing to see how hot I can get it too, to see if pizza is doable or not

Thanks m8. Continue showing off on the internet and giving overly specialised advice.

He is right tho. And he comes with credentials to back it up.

Some things in life should consume a bit of time for the payoff. Gas BBQ is an oxymoron. Why bother? You can just microwave the food and go sit outside and eat .. to each their own I guess.

I've got a couple of tall pine trees in my garden. Who can I get to give a professional assessment of their safety?

@edmundro

I can't find a way to change my email in my profile section. Will shortly be changing email provider, so need to complete this soon. How do I do it?

You can just microwave the food

Steady on there, there's no need to hurt anyone!

A gas grill is a completely different thing than a hot smoker. They cook different stuff in different ways.
Quick sausage and bacon for breakfast? You want a gas BBQ.
18hour pork shoulder? Obviously not a gas BBQ.
I'm well acquainted with various outdoor cooking methods, it just seemed a bit like the guy was asking about what cheap hybrid to buy and was being recommended a race bike with deep crabon tubs.

the wood pellet cooker is up to grilling temperature in 15 minutes, it does all the things

your glib view that all outdoor cooking is bbq is facetious and wrong

Get a life you dorks. Yeah
