    Found another use for it.
    Used to make Jaffels using a gas plate that screws directly onto a gas bottle.

    Lovely entertainment when the grand children sleeps over.
    They can choose their own fillings, from chicken mayo, savory mince and bacon cheese and tomato.
    It is all fanalised with a bannana, bar one and marshmellow filling for pudding.

    another dessert jaffle to try is sliced granny smith apple, layered with cinnamon, brown sugar and sultanas (optional) in white bread. - comes out like a cross between a strudel and an apple pie.

    I now have a propane grill & hate it! My daughter who lives with us hates the charcoal taste so I got a gas grill to satisfy her. I had a nice Weber grill that just wore out & we moved & It wouldn't survive the trip So all I have that I can use wood or Charcoal on is my wet smoker. It works great for so many things & people love my smoked turkey. I have had a couple Charcoal starters like this thread started about & on the second one I welded all the seams & also the grate in the bottom. Still have it after 9 years of use!

    Would you like to share your recipe for biltong? A friend from SA shares the meat but not the recipe with me.

    First thing is do you have the right climate to make BILTONG?

    It must be cool (about 15 deg C on average) and dry otherwise it just becomes moldy or a breading ground for flies.

    I tried with boxes covered with fine mesh, light to dry the air and small fan to keep the air moving, but under the veranda in the middle of winter still produced the best results.

    YUM. That reminds me of my late (& previous) father-in-law who, from dunking cattle & working under crop dusting (spraying) planes had no taste buds & would break up a couple of garlic heads (not cloves) and add to red wine etc etc for marinating the steak for at the least, a few days. I just loved that rump, porterhouse, eye fillet, pork etc but I paid heavily for days running to the toilet: my ulcers did not appreciate the beautiful food. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    By the way, I have one of the last made Aussie gas BBQs (mid 1990s with Australian steel grille & plate) & I have just replaced the original bottle of gas long out of date. We prefer to do that type of cooking down by the creekside on a barbee using the abundant Camphol laurel branches for heat & some smoke to boot.

    BBQ's here, have long been throw away items, like everything else it seems. The better ones might last up to "2 seasons" according to a recent survey with a "MITRE 10" hardware one winning by quality & price. I had another old one I used for years as a mobile bench for growing vegies = 2 tiers: top one for lettuce etc that needed 5hr+ sun light & lower shelf for potted herbs and the like( the runoff from above watered the lower tier). Easy to do =use shade cloth on bottom layer with stones/coolite for good drainage then potting mix on top. Slow release fert seemed best for feeding as well as a liquid hit ocasionally. I sold it recently as I'm culling.

    You should be eating artificial meat if you do not respect it.

    I am now using my old electric kitchen range out in the yard. It keeps the temperature perfect for as many hours as required and I burn a tray of hickory in the bottom.I found the price of charcoal to be ridiculous using my Kamado BBQ/smoker, it sells for about a dollar a pound here. Electricity is 4.6 cents/kilowatt and I doubt I use 5 kwhrs for a 12 hour smoke.

    Different people have differing tastes, I happen to enjoy having herbs and spices cooked in most things. If I want something bland and tasteless I'll eat chicken
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    I have the best of both worlds... Pellet grill. I can cook a burger well done in 5 minutes (500 - 600 deg) or slow smoke a brisket for 14 hours (down to 200 deg)> pellets come in all varieties: Apple, Pear, Oak, Maple, Mesquite, Hickory or my favorite: Competition blend, It has a great combination of several of the others. Fill the hopper, plug it in, set the temp, and let it start up then drop the meat on and close it up and wait (for smoking). The pellets are compressed with nothing but water and high pressure as binders. Very clean, very fast, and very easy plus turns out the best BBQ!
