Allan N Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi, my names Allan and I live in South West Scotland. Been messing around with bbq and smoking for a good few years now but always looking to expand my knowledge and hopefully I can do that here !

Icefever Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Hi & welcome Allan, it's a wee bit quiet on here at the moment, what with C19, but things are on the move. What kit are you running? or what kit are you going to spend money on? 😆 Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ran all sort to be honest, all cheap budget stuff but ice had enough to have bought a traegar 🙈🙈😆😆 Last year I had built my own whiskey cask smoker but one day I had ribs on and I went for a shower, whilst in the shower the bugger went on fire! It didn't destroy it as such but it did mean that it was un usable, the timber doesn't combust until 400 degrees Celsius so you can imagine how hot and dry it must have been ! I'm in the process of building an outdoor kitchen and in there I will have a small offset, an American style grill and a gas bbq. Future wise I want to upgrade to a decent offset, I'm pretty much sold on charcoal to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm building an outdoor kitchen over the next week or so, hoping that helps with temp fluctuations and let's me get out in any weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 We're down in Warwick it's been a dry week for last week and it's looking good for this week. I would love an outdoor kitchen it's just not practical at the moment. Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan N Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 It's not bad up here just now, typical Scotland 😆😆 So the background of the outdoor kitchen, our garden is terrible for drainage so we are in the process of raising some of it with sub base then laying gravel and slabs etc. I happened to say to the wife that we could enclose my "bbq area" and she actually thought it was a good idea !! So then started the planning but timber prices have went through the roof even at trade level so it's took a little time but we have managed to get the money together to get a good chunk of it done and I have some slabs left over from our patio. Timber gets delivered on Tuesday so il be busy getting that sorted out aswell as running my business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
