Great price for quality lumpwood. My go-to, but never seen it this low.

Bin shelter is good idea, but make sure there's plenty of airflow to minimise condensation. Have kept mine in the cover, outdoors but protected from rain and it's been fine.

Great to see so many newcomers here, enjoy your AKs people! I've been using mine for a year but only now am I attempting a forerib of beef (2 bone) for Sunday lunch. Seen a few US videos on cooking methods but if anyone has recommended methods for the AK, be interested to hear from you. It's a big joint, some 4kg, so plan to reverse sear - all on the AK. It's pedigree longhorn forerib, so an expensive cut - can't risk stuffing it up! Any pointers?

That's really poor. Heck, if someone is willing to pay £600 for one of these, they can have mine for half that!

Must be BBQ season for the mainstream, now £20.25 for 15kg😒

I got mine this time last year and best advice as above, is to research away but can't beat trial and error. Invest in a probe thermometer that allows you to keep tabs on meat temp and bbq temp and almost guaranteed that anything you attempt will be delicious!

Result 👍

Cheers👍

Just joined the forum having read through the posts for inspiration, as a first time Kamado owner. Delighted to be back to charcoal having used a Weber gas grill for far too many seasons! Great tips on here, thanks to all for posting. Will get some pics up when I've cracked something particularly worthy - still experimenting for now...

I can recommend Green Olive Firewood Co in Sussex. Their Premium lumpwood is very good, nice large pieces for a slow burn.

I've just had my firebox replaced for the same reason. Contact La Hacienda on the number on the Aldi warranty page and if they have in stock, they'll send it out. I may attempt a repair of the cracked one to keep as a spare.
