Any particular make/model you were thinking of getting?

I wish everyone wore more colours. Winter is the worse for this, everyone is in dark colours and it's so depressing.

Never bought new, but for the same reason I always buy through a second hand dealers due to having an avenue like the motor vehicle disputes tribunal and CGA - if any thing were to go wrong. I get that I can get cheaper prices with private sales, but I can't be arsed dealing with private sellers and wasting time if you want to test drive a car or something first.

Drinking a whole teapot of green tea before bed last night wasn’t a great idea, I couldn’t get to sleep until around 1am

C'mon climate change do us at least one favour and make Spring nicer or something

When do we start getting the stable weather? Is it after Daylight Saving starts? I'm tired of the wind and random rain

Hate is probably too strong a word, but man do I intensely dislike David Seymour.

Him and his ilk were probably calling the Labour government a nanny state - they seem to really love regulation now though

Maybe Friday? People are generally more relaxed on a Friday than Monday is my thinking..

The Rambler looks great but I currently have a Weber kettle as well, which serves most of my grilling purposes. Mainly setup with a vortex to do chicken wings and other pieces. I have an Espeto Sul too, but it's a bit annoying to use on the kettle. No one makes a riser for it, so can't do lid on. I've thought about getting a cheap second hand Weber Go Anywhere so I can get a riser to use with the rotisserie. But then I'm also wanting a tabletop hibachi so we can do korean bbq or yakitori for the kids..

I like the concept of an offset (and I've watched a lot of videos on them lol), but I don't really have time for fire management and long cooks :( I love the idea of cooking over wood too, sometimes I'll do sausages or something on the little firepit. Maybe when the kids are grown up I can get an offset.

I wrapped in foil near the end, but had them hanging without the heat diffuser for too long I think. The meatier parts weren’t too bad, the thin parts were too dry though. I’m going to look for some meatier ones next time.

Honestly, that sounds pretty tasty, I’d definitely give that a try if I find some mutton!

Haha yes I actually figured out the same, I used my small battery workshop blower on low setting to force air into the inlet and it gets it going really quick. It has a flexible rubber nozzle so I can basically squeeze it into the inlet.

I don't think I've seen any mutton around, but I haven't really been looking. I'll have to keep an eye out.

Sadly I was too lazy to spritz my ribs yesterday and they ended up way too dry. They weren't the meatiest ribs either which didn't help, or I left it at too high a temp. I'll have to practice more!

Always found this a banger. Make sure you have both sides of your headphones in.
