Thats a good idea on the kindling in the middle, i might give that a go. My other thinking was to get a second chimney starter and so don't need to fill it as full (although on Saturday i ended up refilling the chimney starter. Probably not needed, but with 15 people round i didn't want to run any risks!

The apple one from Big K. Nice big pieces and burns really well.

I suck at linking pictures, here's Sunday's cook on instagram.

Thanks, I grabbed 15KG of the Dura from Amazon to tie me over for a while.

I've been using that for the last year and find it pretty good. I used to use their Flama stuff, but much prefer the Dura. It seems to burn much hotter and last longer.

Yeah I've had it in the past, got 2 boxes in the garage and can't remember which is in which unfortunately so not sure what I've just run out of. but both are pretty low on supply!

Has anyone got a good slaw recipe or something to match the richness of brisket or pulled pork?

Secondly what’s the verdict on T&G burgers? They look and sound great but a pricey!

And on chimney starters, I use tea lights under the newspaper in the bottom which works brilliantly

Haven't used them for a while. Do you mean the Black Label box? Wow it's north of £20 / kg. I spend a lot more than I should on meat but that seems excessive.

I use Woodies or equivalent. 1 per time. No newspaper. Not failed me yet.

Yes £10 for 4. Sounds a lot but also may be worth it!

I hate using newspaper because of the amount of ash, at the moment using lekto natural firelighters and kindling.

I made this recipe a few weeks back and can recommend it. I'd definitely make it again.

T&G burgers are awesome, the Blue Label ones especially! Every time I place an order from there, I always buy a pack of those or the butchers dogs to stick in the freezer.

I love a homemade slaw, but my tip would be to get it a bit more finely sliced than that picture shows. And don't be shy about discarding the outer bits of onion and cabbage, it's not so great when you're chewing through thick fibrous bits.

Tried the pizza accessory out the other night- didn't quite get it hot enough but it turned out ok.

Just bought myself a Green Egg with a load of bits. Arrives 20th May, somewhat excited (being and understated Englishman, so I mean REALLY excited :cry:

BBQToro - the onlyfire equivalent that you can buy from Germany(Onlyfire isn't available here). It has the rotisserie too - which is the main reason I bought it!
