Smokin Monkey

I have deleted Hundreds over the last few weeks. Seems to be the Bitcoin Mob!

Took some time to clear the forum up!

Yes, I m battling this spam, removed about 100 accounts so far!

Can only be one subject this month. Food you would cook for the Kings Coronation!

I will kick British Beef week off with the simplest thing, A Beef Burger! This Beef Burger, is no ordinary Beef Burger, it’s a Beach Burger, cooked on the Beach on the Worlds Smallest BBQ! The smallest BBQ in the World, 100mm x220mm? 80/20 Ground British Beef. Cooking over Charcoal. Time for a flip! Some nice Grill Marks. Add a slice of Plastic Cheese! Burgers Ready! Toast the Bun. Bun Ready! Add some Spicy Mayo Some of that Green Stuff! Beach Burger Ready to Demolish! Tasted Good! Do you want to see a video of this cook? Then Click Here!

April 23rd - 30th is British Beef Week, so let’s see those Beef Dishes!

Haha, sorry all gone!

For Take Away month, this is mine. I love India and especially Goa, which is like a second home and an Adopted Family! So it got to be India, and even more Goa Xacutti Chicken Curry! (With a Flat Bread) Toast some Spices , Make the Paste/Marinade Marinate the Chicken Fry some Onions Fry the Chicken Add some Stock Cook the Flat Breads Time for a taste If you would like to see the full cook, Click Here

That’s better than the local Take Away!

I help compile a yearly challenge list for a YouTube Channel, Cast Iron Wednesday, so it would be easy for me to replicate that list, but I do not want to do that! The Channel is mostly American, so this being a essentially UK based, it would be good to have UK Challenges!

My job here is done!

Would love to hear what ideas the Community has for these Monthly Challenges? I literally think of an idea on the day a post it up, so if anyone has ideas, I can draw up a list!

I’am thinking Sushi 🍣! 🤢🤮 For those that don’t know, I am allergic to Seafood 🦞

I am going to call this a draw between @pittmab and @AdamG! It’s a pity I have chosen “Take Away Food” as the March Challenge, this both of these would of qualified!

So what’s in store for March? IT’s favourite Take Away 🛵!

Yes you can, it’s a straight forward “Air Fryer” until you push the Woodsmoke Technology Button.
