  1. Are we talking the one visible from the carpark of the Plough? How long had that actually been there I blame the Tory government

Charcoal is the original smokeless fuel. Essentially it's distilled wood, with the elements driven of in a sealed oxygen free retort (kiln) until a crude-ish carbon is left behind Briquettes are made (in the case of Webber) of mineral carbon, or coal to me and you. Some also contain burn retarders like limestone and borax, along with other burning materials to bulk it out Charcoal is technically better, briquettes less so. But, if the charcoal come from a country like Paraguay (and much does) then it will be low grade 'brown' charcoal, as this weighs more and is less friable and therefore transports better. However, this 'brown' grade of charcoal still has a further conversion period to go through, where the remaining elements are burned off. This will happen in your grill or BBQ, and it's where that very 'charcoally' taste originates from, it's also why some charcoal is near impossible to light. Buy British is a pretty safe bet, production methods and standards are generally much better, so easier to light Wood varies according to type and how seasoned (dry) it is. The smoke part, usually grey/white and thick occurs during its preignition stage, where it's going through the process of trying to burn. Moisture from unseasoned wood is what inhibits the burning, hence the smoke as the wood is at the preignition/smokey stage longer. In short, the volitile combustables are held back or retarded from ignition by moisture, and this mosture needs to be driven off before it can burn cleanly. Conversely, tar and creosote are among the first thiing driven out of the wood by heat, these are higher occouring in unseasoned wood. These amongst other things are what gives the sharp eye burning quality to the smoke initially Moisture is held in a few ways within wood; and being hygroscopic the surface is susceptible to attracting and absorbing moisture, hence the smokiness when first lighting the fire. Secondly within the cellulose structure of the wood, and within the cavities and space formed by the cellulose structure of the wood If you want less wood smoke, then burn seasoned and dry wood. Green freshly cut wood will smoke near endlessly, Soft wood (pines) are naturally resinious, so avoid unless really nice and dry. The ultimate goal is toward a red/orange coal from the wood, with a pale grey/white ash coating. Smoke will be near thin blue to clear and a light blue-purple gas close to the wood coal indicates the last of the elements converting. And if you want BBQ over pure (hard)wood, then allow the initial 'grey/white' smoke part to pass, then cook over the wood coals as you would charcoal. It's very tasty Except briquettes, they can go fuck themselves, as can BBQ-lighter fuel and the white paraffin cube things
  3. Can you please point me towards the ranch and pine trees one I'm fancying a pretty strong anti-cottage vibe after watching Chelsea FS Think 'Dead Man's Gultch' meets crazy golf off the Sidcup by pass
  4. Let us know if you get a shag, you'll be due for one. I mean 8 weeks should do it, you'll return a refreshed man Solo holidays are good for that kind of activity
  5. I'm great with drumming, but just do it where nobody else has to endure it Some knob sits in the park behind my house gonking away on one bloody thing. I took a walk to see who it was, basically sat there was a weekend crustie in loon pants. When he spots me looking he takes it as a cue that I want him to hit the stupid thing again, where in fact I really wanted to hit him Bloody attention seekers, get a hair cut !
  6. Ah but, was it a Free range Organic egg?
  7. You might be hitting a Lintel above the window. It's made of very hard concrete withe metal reinforcement running through. But it stops the house collapsing into the window void
  8. What's your thoughts on shooting Deer Or killing mice and rats ?
  9. More than one piece of Toblerone Never, why would you?
  10. What's happening in Deptford? My yard and distribution is there, but today as I hailed a cab outside of the station didn't bode well "Parkside, off Blackhorse please" "sorry, where's that mate" "You know the Kentucky drive through?" I enquired "Kentucky!" He tutted and shook his head, then drove off without me

  12. I've elected to remove myself from the whole 'parking outside our house' vibe. Amazingly i've got an avenue nearby, which has plenty of space (for me not you btw) Of course I have to actually 'walk' to & from my vehicles But hey, I somehow survive

  15. Spoons = a branch of social services Batter with defrosted fish flavour + chips It's cheap for a reason, if you want 'drink' that is Brockley Barge anyone? I'm with KK on this one
  16. KB is my favourite poster btw If you've not had the "We want plates" pleasure, then do look here Anything else is literally 'Peanuts' in comparison
  17. "believers who have died will be raised and believers who are still alive and remain shall be caught up together" Zombie Appocolypse or a rerun the Thriller vid Does Vincient Price make an appearance ?
  18. I'd conceede that babies in church are a challenge, i've heard a few screamers Why do people insist on sitting it out, I always grabbed an outside seat and dashed when it happened Mind you, I had to pinch my one quite hard to get my exit ticket from the ceremony Bless him :))

  20. Weddings without kids are rather dull anyway I'd politely decline and send them gushing best wishes, then invite them out for dinner sometime after. I'd usually be more cynical, but weddings do weird things to people when planning them. Beware of Bride/Groomzilla syndrome As Otta said re the rest
  21. Don't be stupid Gray That epitomises an all round idiot
  22. I think Lou is secretly gutted, given her deep yearning for a Waitrose in ED It takes the gravy off the election call she made When does this beacon open in said Peckham

  24. The Who The Jam Paul Weller The bloke next door who starts his shit van up outside my house early every morning he can "In your face" to all of them
  25. Sorry Loz, but i've only a limited amount of precious time to waste, some of it allocated to here To spread even thinner my social media/forum time with a tumbleweed blow out of a one horse town venture just won't work for me You're on your own big boy, but expect a vist from BBW in some guise
