It's paper baking sheet Brendan The flame bit is external and the bottom of the can gets lined with wet wood shavings (sweet-chestnut at the mo). It heats from the outside and the wet woodshavings smoke like crazy but dont combust into flames. I also add water as it goes, so you get moist hot smoke, and it has an oven thermostat. So it can stay at one temp like 200' quite easily, when the lid is on. I made it all-by-myself and it's bloomin great fun. I've even cooked a Sunday joint in it. The ultimate thing though is those huge Black Tiger Prawns, cooked from raw in the hot smoke. They're sooooooo good, "Prawnographic" almost Oh lord, i'm starving NOW Nette:)
  2. Today we go again More meat, more heat, more sauce Smoke with added smoke, just because we can. Nette(tu) (mind you, yesterday I opened the lid of the beast and accidentally breathed a lungful-OUCH)
  3. Hail to the smoke http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg696/scaled.php?server=696&filename=img2362z.jpg&res=landing I fired up the Curtain-HotSmoker ? today It is the best bit of homemade-cobbled up kit i've come up with yet Smoke so dense you could slice it. Nice, moist, indirect heat up to 200 degrees plus Not a bit of charred meat in sight Huge flavours-endless fun *bows to converted galvanised dust bin* Nette(tu)
  4. Well I thank you for posting the image Where exactly is the place located (is that the bellenden rd area out side?) Location is important as is "the look" you're trying to communicate Whats your vibe, who are your customers, what's your USP (lordy, did I say vibe. You catch my drift tho) And, do you anticipate putting a small 'stage' area infront of the window sill (it helps when you're propping the display) Nette(?)
  5. Agree, outrageous, should be locked up (sorry, what's this thread about again?) NettsB)
  6. Can you provide a photo of the space/window ? And what kind of accessories excactly Handbags, bangles ....? Nette(tu)
  7. No really med's It was his mum :-$
  8. Yes But short of setting up a recycle unit It's a good solution (tu)
  9. Give them to a charity shop They always need them (tu)
  10. Oh ground, swallow me up On Thursday I went to see Mickey Flannigan play a small warm up gig at the Hob in Forest Hill. Very funny indeed he is; except there was a relentless heckler very near to the mic, which made it worse. She was awful, screeching out half way through a story, it got so bad that Mickey F had to pull her up quite hard. "Listen love, if you keep butting in it will ruin it for everyone & the crowd will turn on you" which they duly did and she pretty much kept a lid on it from there on in. Whilst there I bumped into my son's football coach who also teaches at his school, he's a young guy and very personable. "Yeah, me and a few mates are here, we love mickey" he said. Anyway, that was that and this is now. So, this morning we go to the football training as usual & I see the coach. "Hello, how are you, did you enjoy the comedy" I enquired "Yeah, great fun, how about you" "Well, apart from that god awful woman shouting out, yes. I could have strangled her though" "That was my Mum" he said (ah.......anyway, the training went well:-$) Am I the only one to do this kind of thing? Nette:-S
  11. Well GB you could be in luck TheRealMorris is available. Let him know where you live and after a 'lite' stalking, he could be your man He's quite the romantic (all be at a distantance) you know Netts:-S

I am jealous actually Morris You sound like a good old fashioned romantic/slight weirdo I wish you well *cries into pillow* "Why doesn't a weirdo want meeee..eee" :-$:-S

Can't imagine how it got there. Most likely it flew there ( really, some people ) *rolls eyes* "Ooo you'd never get that in Ferring" :-S

Like many U.K qualifications 'Summer' has been "dumbed down" So anywhere between May- August technically counts, though the quality has become difficult to define I hope this helps (take an umbrella) http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQc-5A8bnBd-DB2LJt7fsrMPhaQnZBrn6FdaAoGEVPPVZaKx9RP (take an SSRI) Nette:-S

Don't bank on in Jezzer She/he will probably suggest a hand grenade

  18. It's a little creepy morris (sorry) She's a new neighbour right ? And maybe she reads theeastdulwichforum Imagine how she might feel. New flat, new interested neighbour Yeah, right at home i'd imagine or planning a move to Swindon Netts:-S
  19. dulwichbeekeeper Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Air gun should do it crows are pest so with in the > law to hunt OK so let's imagine the scenario. Cat mooching along street & crow flies down (you at the upstairs window with gun on the sill) "Kerr-Pow-wizzzz" (coz you're an expert shot, right!) as air gun pellets ricochet off into street somewhere Or you somehow do shoot said crow (and they're a tuff old bird btw) and maim the thing. So you rush down onto the street and then what ? Oh yeah, kill the thing with your bare hands, or whack it with a shovel. In a busy-urban-environment Possibly within minutes this lot SO19 will turn up & shoot you, or if you're lucky taser you to near death. For a cat & a crow ? :-S

  23. Could you choose a Theme-Tune-to-your-life and/or nominate one for another Forumite ? theme gets into my head as i'm trying to juggle... Life-school-children-business-and-the-sheer-joy-of-being-here/pulling-my-hair-out It calms me & energises me at the same time. I knew it was the one for me from about the age of 9 I recon And for whatever reason. I can't get Adam Ants tune out of my head whenever I read d_c's posts. Don't you ever, don't you ever Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards Don't you ever, don't you ever Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards Dave-carnell Dave-carnell *mimes words into hairbrush, whilst standing in front of mirror* I've shown you mine, can you show me yours ?
