  1. Personally I think that you'd be nuts to import something as large, heavy and fragile as a ceramic grill all the way from China on a one-off basis. You can buy those from kamado.co.uk. Or, for £799 delivered get a Louisiana Grill from Costco (same grill, just rebadged). https://www.costco.co.uk/p/24kamadogrill I bought one of those and 4 years of heavy use later found a hairline crack in the base. Costco collected it and refunded me the full cost, no quibbles. Try that with a grill that you imported by yourself!
  2. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vaello-Valenciana-Enamelled-Griddle-Round/dp/B004SH4DDQ/ref=sr_1_14?crid=2QCJ1MC8FNM4L&keywords=cast%2Biron%2Bround%2Bplancha&qid=1651048195&s=outdoors&sprefix=cast%2Biron%2Bround%2Bplancha%2Coutdoor%2C84&sr=1-14&th=1 I bought one of these a few years ago. Hugely heavy, well made and the 43cm version fill the Weber. They are pricey though now- £73 for the 43cm version...I think I paid £37 in 2019. You can also use them inside on a gas or induction grill.
  3. Yeah, I think the same too. I don't like non-stick coatings, especially when cooking over coals. Kamado Joe seem to be notorious for getting their coatings wrong. The top vent on their (expensive!) kamados always seem to flake. They've had to withdraw from sale and refund buyers of their rotisserie basket as the coatings flaked. Personally, for BBQing it has to be stainless steel or cast iron, IMHO.
  4. Thread resurrection! YNNI Kmado now have a decent looking version of this: https://www.kamado.co.uk/rotisserie-grill-basket-fits-all-ynni-rotisseries-tqrgb.html As well as a Rib-o-later and rotisserie skewer wheel. https://www.kamado.co.uk/Rib-O-Lator-Rotisserie-Accessory-Fits-all-larger-YNNI-Rotisseries-TQROL1_p_376.html https://www.kamado.co.uk/-BBQ-Skewer-Rotisserie-Set-Accessory-Fits-all-larger-over-23-YNNI-Rotisseries-TQSR2325_p_377.html
  5. If it's sealed in a box then where does it draw air in?
  6. Lumpwood only for kamados. Briquettes produce too much ash. Whereabouts in the Lakes are you? Logs Direct (just outside Halton on the road to Kirby Lonsdale) do blue bags of restaurant lumpwood for a tenner if you collect. I've been using it for years and it is good stuff.
  7. Davidsons have one of the best, if not the best, selection of brisket. Try the Miquel Vergara....they are absolutely superb!
  8. Buy better charcoal. Your cooks will go much smoother and the food will taste loads better. CPL deliver for not a lot of money. Search locally.....my local logs supplier does 12Kg blue bags of restaurant charcoal for a tenner if you collect from their site. Way cheaper than that nasty instant light rubbish.
  9. They're as rare as chickens teeth, and have been for a while. I think that I got it from Dawsons BBQ World. but they are showing as no stock again. I did find this though....looks like it's built like a tank. It's a little bit smaller (about 25mm in both diameter and length) but that'll make it easier to fit on smaller BBQs. Looks good value. https://www.souschef.co.uk/products/rosle-rotisserie-bbq-basket?variant=39361504346170&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=CjwKCAjwuvmHBhAxEiwAWAYj-LrsJ_xs0_zxOkiaW7Lq8Vuztt6rHFfXBG1sjcNUjMbQFvVVsaMK0RoCQl0QAvD_BwE
  10. Those clips are crimped on and are not reusable. Just cut it off and replace with a jubilee clamp of the correct size.
  11. He's a Michelin-starred chef, so there's that. He might also be a terrific BBQ cook too. However, he is doing an excellent impersonation of a terrible one! There's far better BBQ cooks to follow, IMHO. Malcolm Reed and AllthingsBBQ to name just a couple.
  12. I'd wager that in three years that grill would be rusted through and fit for tipping. Meanwhile the Weber kettle that I bought 20+ years ago is still going strong, despite permanently living in the garden from day one. Spend the money on a basic Weber and upgrade it with bits like cast iron grills as you get better at outdoor cooking.
  13. I wouldn't bother, personally. I saw him on one video making an absolute mess of some short ribs and the video below of him making an absolute balls of some baby back ribs him him squarely in the "all fur coat and no knickers" category as far as barbecue is concerned. Save your £11 and put it towards these ribs. I had some yesterday and they were outstanding. And at no point was any of Kerridges nonsense followed!😁 https://www.sherwoodfoods.co.uk/shop/pork/meaty-baby-back-pork-ribs-2/
  14. 460mm end-to-end and 195mm in diameter. I'd expect that it's fit on a Weber kettle too.
  15. It'll fit pretty much anything up to (I think) half-inch hex bar.
