    Makro takeover.

    I have been informed that Booker Wholesale cash and carry have taken over Makro. Now that could upset things, as I get my charcoal and meat from Makro. A Chef friend has said that his Makro card is valid at his local Booker, so I am hoping the same holds true for me. I'll let you know when I...

    My Cold smoking journey.

    Myself and a near neighbour sort of started smoking some years ago, but never got any acceptable results to speak of. It all began when my mate got hols of a big fresh water Eel, and decided to have a go at smoking it. He built a tepee with wooden poles and a biscuit tin underneath on a small...

During the last year I have had little time to devote to hot, or cold smoking. Cold smoking has really got me, so that is what I have devoted...

    Heads up.

    I have just got back from a trip to Makro, I couldn't resist the pulled pork from the other thread. They have an offer on the 12kg bags of restaurant charcol, if you buy two bags, you get it for £7.50 each. That's good value in my book. It isn't bad either, it come's in sometimes epic sized...

    Restoring the Horizontal Offset Smoker.

    Hi Guy's, I have been real busy at work, which is getting in the way of getting the HOS back into shape. Many moons ago, around 12 - 13 years in fact, I made the original firebox into a log burner and gave it away to a friend. This turns out to have been a huge mistake, and despite a good...

    My attempt at a cold smoke generator.

    Since joining this forum, I have been able to think of nothing else other than getting a decent cold smoker going.  I have had flu the last couple of weeks, so that has put back my plans for the build a bit, but has given me time to think things through, something Iam not normally known for...

    Noob from over the water.

    Hi Guy's.  I thought it only polite to say hello, so hello. Iam a middle aged old duffer, who is getting grumpier by the day, but I do like the good things in life. I have a smashing wife, who pretty much lets me get away with murder, and I can just about do anything I want so long as Iam not...
