Yeah will persevere with covering kit up when not in use for now however we have thought about putting up an electric canopy. 

Looks very impressive that does 👍

Cooking corner is ready 😀

still got some tidying to do and will be painting my cupboard to match decking. First cook tomorrow. Making some bread buns in oven. Char Sui pork fillet some BBQ chicken thighs and chorizo with onion that I spotted on here.

Yeah to be fair I've been chatting in the office and the general feeling was this is how it would work. I just had a picture of gas coming out of the vent holes and burning beneath the bbq 🤣

So I have built the gas BBQ. Got the correct gas bottle (Blue Butane) 20mm clip on connector and hose so all ready to go.

One thing that is slightly worrying me though is the gas connections on the actual barbecue. The way the internal burner connected to the gas output seemed a little odd to me. The internal part just slipped over the gas outputs with slots either side of the pipe. In my mind I cant work out how the gas just doesn't leak out from here?

Am I missing something or is this normal? I guess I will soon find out when I light the thing up 😳

Cheers for the welcome. Cant wait for the weekend as will be building my worktop Friday and then Barbecuing Saturday  will throw some pics up when done.

You never saw me doing the gas one 😂

spent an hour claiming it was missing the feed for the side burner only to find it was wound up to the opposite side 🙈

lets hope the pizza one is easier 😂

Thanks for the welcome fellas. I’m not handy it’s just taken me about 2 hours to put together a little gas cooker. Still got the charcoal and pizza oven to do 😂

god help me trying to adapt the kettle one but to be fair it is a basic design. 

Hi All

found my way here from a recommendation from a member on another forum (reef tanks) as we were discussing BBQ.

i like to BBQ and im trying to learn how to be effective at it! I’ve not find much aside from standard fare burgers chops steak sausage and the likes however want to get to next level.

i love a good marinade or dry rub as feelit really does completely change what your cooking.

i don’t have any fancy kit but recently ( not even set up yet) bought a new gas bbq only small 2 burner plus a side, a round kettle style charcoal which I’m also going to adapt into tall oven so I can hang meat. Finally got a wood fired pizza oven. All cheap shop bought stuff but at my level should give me plenty of options for outdoor cooking. Just need s good summer 😀

anyway going to have a nosey round but wanted to drop in and say Hello 👋
