Found some mutton at butchers. Mutton curry.  
Planning

Such is life mate

Choices. I think design can be improved hence sand no refilling

Lol

Indian food time. 

I use washing up liquid and warmer and a scraper. Cuts through the built up grease. Always work. Nothing unusual about mold unless you clean before winter and keep dry.  Rinse and then hot burn will then dry it all out. This year I have upgraded grill only rather old but not tired Weber kettle to cast iron. I have been using my target Ranger but after the coming cold snap kettle will be bashing out kebabs and pita bread to start with. 
 

Looking forward to the spring tailgate to start the tailgate season off. 

I use sand as it is a good heat sink like water but does need topping up

Slow cooked at 80c for half hour and 105c for an hour to 73 degrees internal temp

Pork and beef Italian herbs egg Worcestershire sauce garlic onion granules salt pepper

Smoked  cherry tomatoes at same temps blitzed. Spaghetti 

nordic ware meatball tray

Weber recipe. Ok to share as it is on their website as a recipe too

Yes.Effectively steam them in Apple juice or whatever then remove foil for 30/45 mins or whatever to bark and get to target temp and sauce if you want sauce

It will be fine. Let us know how it goes/went. Thanks

Maybe a bit overdone equals bit dry but live and learn for the perfect ribs. I did some the other day. Apple juice and double wrapped foil tight from start and then open up for last half hour. They were very nice even with out a sauce

Jealous of you guys; so much has been getting in the way here. Managed to take a day off to put a brew of beer on but otherwise next to nothing on woodsmoke front. Have managed to put the tailgate for spring up at least. Must be the time now to get back to the tailgates we used to have before 

All I have spoken with Willomere where we held the Anglia and South East tailgate in 2022 and it is open and willing to entertain us during May Fri 19th to  Sun 21st May 2023 as long as we  are definite on numbers by 3rd April 2022 when booking. You will need to book provisionally before then and confirm in April.

 Who is interested please?

I am finding out how many we can bring but first come first serve

The 3rd Anglia and South East Tailgate is now provisionally booked for Friday 19th to 21st May 2023

Event is being held at Willowmere Caravan Park

Willowmere is situated on the B1508, Sudbury to Bures road.

Approx. 2.3 miles from the centre of Sudbury Suffolk.

Bures Road, Little Cornard, Sudbury, Suffolk, CO10 0NN

The site is beautiful and well organised.  Suitable for Camper vans and tents, no pods.  Willowmere has an excellent toilet and shower block, fresh water tap, and washing up facilities all included.  Not a massive site but all the better for it.

There are apparently some small pod sites nearby and inns for B&B in Sudbury if you do not want to camp on site, no problem. The village centre is a 43-minute walk away (or 8 minutes in a car), and is well served by local shops including a grocer, baker, butcher, post office and a Co-op store and well as three pubs, several restaurants and tearooms.

The site is a quite small, quiet, well kept site sits in attractive surroundings of tree's, and neighbouring lakes and mere's, in the valley of the River Stour in Constable Country.

Cornard mere is next door, and is a small quiet haven for wildlife, which is cared for by the Suffolk wildlife trust.

The site is a level grass area suitable for tents, caravans, motor-homes, 27 of 35 pitches offer electric hook-up. It has well maintained toilet block and large showers .

There is even  a small fishing lake on site which you are free to fish at any time.

The local pub is 400 yards from the site and serves food (The Brook Inn).

The River Stour is 400 yards through open fields.

There is a bus service to Sudbury or Colchester which stops at our gate. Sudbury itself is a market town (Thursday & Saturday) and various farmers markets throughout the year.

Nearby Attractions

The Park is an ideal base to tour the beautiful Suffolk/Essex countryside. Sudbury was the birth place of Thomas Gainsborough and the home of Gainsborough House Museum, and shows many of his works.
