    *****Official BBQ Thread - Suns out, Buns out!*****

    No worries, like I said, it's a little hastily written and I'm sure there's more helpful resources out there but hopefully it's helpful. Personally I would just grab a supermarket pork shoulder (try to get a decent sized one that hopefully hasn't been torn to pieces when being...

    *****Official BBQ Thread - Suns out, Buns out!*****

    It's difficult to tell for sure from the product photos but looking at the instruction manual, it looks like that has a firebox on the far right that opens into the charcoal side of the bbq, and has a vent on the far end to control the air flow into the firebox, and there is a vent control on...

    *****Official BBQ Thread - Suns out, Buns out!*****

    A pork shoulder to do pulled pork is dead easy. If you can put up a picture of your bbq (or link a similar one) we can have a look at what vents it has etc for controlling air flow and temperature and advise on how best to try use it.

    Son wants me to play Minecraft with him

    I have a Bedrock server running on a NUC so my son and I can play together either on our PCs or mobiles etc whether he's at my house or his Mum's. We also have coordinates turned on so we can find each other if we get lost etc, and have enabled Keep inventory so we don't lose our stuff when we...

    I was asking about zigbee motion sensors, dlockers was saying you'd recently purchased some tplink ones, are they zigbee based?

    Relaxing Games

    MotorTown can be quite relaxing if you just get yourself a delivery truck and pootle about picking stuff up and making deliveries, or you can become a binman and drive about picking up bags of rubbish which is quite relaxing too.

    Home Assistant beginners

    Does anyone have any recommendations for decent, battery powered zigbee motion sensors? I've been using Sonoff SNZB-03 sensors but out of the three I've purchased, two have died on me in under a year and the other one has fairly regular incidents of dropping off the network which is very...

    The bottle digging thread

    This one is cool, and there's a pub called The Style and Winch in the town which I'm guessing has something to do with the history of this.

    The bottle digging thread

    I'd love to know the history on that Maidstone bottle, as someone who lives in the town, I'm sure it'd be very interesting.

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    I tidied my (tiny) workshop over the weekend, so it's ready for me to do a few projects in the coming weeks as the weather improves and the evenings get lighter. Oh and I used my new soldering iron and helping hands to solder pin headers to an arduino nano!

    **The Mental Health Thread**

    Loneliness is such a trigger for me, I've been trying in therapy to work out quite why it is but it holds so much over me. So many feelings of worthlessness and isolation, feeling like no one values me or cares about me; a complete lack of being important to anyone. I know it's not true, my...

    **The Mental Health Thread**

    I'm really struggling today. My relationship ended at the end of November and left me devastated but I've tried to pick myself up and get on with life. Christmas really hard but I've reached out to the two friends I have and they were supportive and lovely. At the end of January I saw my ex when...

    *****Official BBQ Thread - Suns out, Buns out!*****

    He does enjoy watching the temps going up and he's really good at pulling pork once it's done. Obviously I've taught him the best rule of cooking bbq food, what I like to call 'Chef's Privilege' whereby the chef(s) get to pick at the best bits while pulling the pork or slicing the brisket or...

    I know I should, it's just one of the very many ghosts of my ex that haunt me that I'm struggling with.

    *****Official BBQ Thread - Suns out, Buns out!*****

    I had hoped to use my BBQ a lot this year but when my relationship ended, it feels a little pointless making lots of effort just for me and my boy. I've planned in a gathering with some friends in June but that's all I've got booked in for now so still doesn't feel like a lot of point doing much.
