U can do that again

Is anyone else having problems with the wind today? One moment completely still next moving tree I gauge wind by about like it’s a kids toy!! temp going up and down like a yo-yo, all timings shot, best I stick another couple of bottles of rose in the cooler for management 🤞🤞 also running Napoleon coconut briquettes , good heat but a lot of ash, burn rate ok but need to riddle the fire box to keep temp in range more often than expected unless it’s the wind......

Why not get a kettle then, enough options size and price wise?

From what distance and roughly how long?

Hope your replacement is as faithful as it’s predecessor, having previously spent a fair amount of time researching before pulling the trigger on Q’s , lucky to have friends in the states in the Q trade, Smoke Hollow doesn’t rate very highly, message sent last night just got a laughing icon and that they don’t last very long or fuel efficient but hope to be proved wrong🤞

Have you a picture of the “wear and tear” as it maybe possible to repair for less than the potential replacement. look around for a blacksmith/fabricator/agricultural/plants repairs man in your local area, mine recently upped sticks and moved to France🤬 had some new grates fabricated for a 25 year old thermos gasser after about 18 years got another 4 years out of it before the ally fire box finally cried enough, have to admit wasn’t cared for at all and general abused, but that was because it fell 20 feet on road stone when the “digger driver tried to move it in the bucket with a 10 tonner”

Might “curry” the gurnard and then sling it on a cedar plank

Thanks , know it’s a fish and cook it regularly was specifically asking if anyone had slung it on a Q either smoked or in a basket with herbs & citrus, like last nights mackerel

Anyone slung Gurnard on the Q before? Going to in next couple of days. Any advice/guidance will be considered but not necessarily followed😎

Sorry for the duff info Leigh on Sea not Southend due to open this weekend

Porky whites also in Tesco 7oaks, seen today, trying one of their burgers soon think they are now based Woking way

Afternoon, understand the BBQ Barn in Sidcup are opening a store in Southend soon, believe the signage has gone up.Attached screenshot of part of Sidcup shop, in normal times have have a lot of K-Joe demos.

Just somewhere to consider if haven’t/didn’t know about, if you Surrey postcode is listed as local, think it maybe, always try to negotiate

Still inside the ghetto ring unless your Wentworth/Sunningdale way ........

Similar price to the current one on website, maybe a couple of quid cheaper and was in stock at the time about a month ago never set eyes on it before pulling the trigger or seen the ProQ but had visited the old shop as moved since I visited and impressed by the quality of Napoleons seen on that visit even though got Broil King gasser on the day from them

Hasn’t happened yet. Try to use chimney mainly.

Chimney, gas gun or if management is on the warpath.................

That’s not Surrey, your in Greater London if inside the ring, says he outside by about a mile in Kent🤣🤣

Oops inadvertently attached screenshot about Mexican 🌶s etc .No connection to this business and not ordered

Thanks for the responses. Just looked on Amazing Ribs, screenshot below. Basically the same, the legs on mine are different to those shown as they have a diagonal brace. When in the market opted against WSM , found a deal with Napoleon cover, charcoal and firefighters at Beds BBQ and in stock. Couldn’t find a ProQ in stock anywhere and no other Napoleon stockist have the 300. No complaints with performance so far.

Unless I need to go to The Opticians , are these basically the same with the difference some red handle covers? if yes can a Napoleon-its attempt to contribute?

👏👏👏 management’s idea of encouragement as I do most of the cooking not just on the q

Smoke is now available from Thermapen/ETI used for the first time on beef ribs smoke but grate temp only, like the MK4 does what it says on the tin(box). Also if you aren’t fussed about the colour reductions on certain colours, have a lovely coral coloured one, stands out in the draw when looking for it

Ice, SOD didn’t visit so management advised u can do that again 🤣🤣🤣

Management tells me I’m in charge of external irrigation. Having the following to irrigate, spuds in bags, broad beans, runners, courgette, toms, beetroot, parsnips, strawbs & rhubarb and some herbs. making salsa to go with beef ribs tonight, also trying home made tortillas, what could possibly go wrong🥺

Looks like a pizza oven was removed
