Happy Friday all! 

Had the AK for around a month now and have had success with Brisket and Gammon (Gammon is amazing on the AK by the way) as well as the standard sausages, chicken etc. 

Now I want to up my game... Can anyone point me in the direction of good spices/rubs? Tubby Toms is great company I found but wondering if anyone has used a good Supermarket brand or some cost effective rubs on the internet? 

Also, has anyone tried brining? How do you do it and is it worth it? 

Hi all,

For those waiting for the next release... be ready for it. As said above, it usually drops around 8am but it's extremely busy. Get on an hour before and be patient. Use another device or two to increase your chances! 

Good luck!!!

3 brilliant points by Chrisah1 here!🍻

To add to the 1st point:

Over a few cooks, I gradually fill an empty charcoal bag with the huge pieces to save them for pizza cooks.

2nd point:

These reasons for getting a basket are generally overlooked...but are actually the best reasons to have one. The main reason alot of people get one is for easier cleanup for the next cook but thats just the cherry on the top👍

3rd point:

I sometimes use the lower grate on top of my wok stand as a surface for regular pans...basically turns it into a hob lol😋

Any suggestions of where to get the basket from please??

Also, anyone with links to recommended thermostats would be great too.

Thanks all for replying. Good news just in... a text to tell me delivery is tomorrow! Seems like patience is key! 🙌

Hi all,

Everyday I keep checking the status of my delivery of the Kamado BBQ but it continues to tease me!!!

How long did your orders take to arrive this year and is anyone in the same boat as me? I ordered mine on the 21st March.

@Calum Not an answer to your question but did you order yours in the first release last week? I'm asking because my you've got my hopes up that mine could arrive this weekend!!!

Hi all,

I finally managed to get the Aldi Kamado and am waiting for it to be delivered. I'm new to the forum and I look forward to learning more from you all!

@Bbq life ukI have been watching your videos on youtube and I cannot wait to get started!!!

Can I ask everyone a couple of questions please?

1. What your essential accessories would be to buy? 
2. Fuel? What fuel should I be using and where is best to buy?

Thanks for reading!
