frizz Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 cheers hoping to get a few photos up after the build. I've got stainless deflector plates on order. and currently looking for meat thermometer. and need a good supplier for charcoal. I'm sure we will have one local as I'm in the national forest area.

AdamG Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 If you cant find any locally then there is these for online: ebc charcoal is pretty decent https://everburningcharcoal.co.uk/ and also log-delivery is what im currently using https://www.log-delivery.co.uk/ Unfortunately you have to buy a few bags to make it worthwile. I tend try not to pay over £1.50 per kg (my last order worked out about £1.25 per kilo, which im happy with)👍😁🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Monkey Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Hi Frizz, welcome to the Forum. I am local to Derby. Restaurant grade charcoal is good and you can get it from Bookers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizz Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Hi smoking monkey. I am looking to see if there’s a local producer. But cheers for the tip on bookers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamG Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I have not used those personally but let us know how you get on👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedmus Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I've used Fogon before, pretty good stuff and comes in big lumps and seemed to work well in the kamado. I have found that if using in the kettle and lighting via chimney starter then although it burns well, the burn doesn't seem to last as long as others. I'm back to using Everburning Charcoal now as it's always been reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedmus Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I only use the chimney for the kettle as I said, I never use it for the Kamado. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
