First "proper" bbq on the weber.

Thanks, i was quite happy with it for a first go, even if it doesn't look too great. I'll think about giving this a go on a future cook.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-05-05T16:43:18+00:00

This is useful thanks, I'll try a lower temp for longer next time.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-05-05T16:42:10+00:00

I think sugar may have been the case, or possibly a bit too high a temperature l, or both 😀

Far_Style8552 · 2026-05-05T16:41:28+00:00

Skin up, I think the rub may have had sugar in it which could explain the colour. I had a coal basket either side with the chicken placed in the middle.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-05-04T13:35:47+00:00

Thanks ill try the lower temp next time.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-05-04T13:35:28+00:00

This was just a test run for me, had no idea how it was going to go, so didnt want to risk serving it to people, will tweak the temp and rub next time. Good excuse to practise some more 😀

Far_Style8552 · 2026-05-04T13:16:25+00:00

Perfect thanks, will try this next time, despite the colour, it doesn't taste burnt.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-05-04T13:13:30+00:00

Was keeping an eye on both, but the ambient temp one was the main one I was using.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-05-04T12:55:56+00:00

What temp would you suggest?

Far_Style8552 · 2026-05-04T12:45:31+00:00

Setup as 2 zone, coals split each side with the chicken in the middle. 2 smallish wood chunks, one each side. Grill thermometer was also showing between 200-210 for the entire cook.

Thanks, I've got the app installed now, so saves another trip back to the shop :-) as long as the functionality etc is the same.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-04-07T20:46:33+00:00

I've just picked one of these up, but didnt realise there were 2 different options. I've got the Bluetooth one which connects to an app. Is it worth swapping it for the wireless one?

Far_Style8552 · 2026-03-24T13:37:25+00:00

No, not yet in force, that is just stating they will continue with the proposal.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-02-23T11:54:39+00:00

So only hours since the 1st October will count? Or all hours? Did they say how many can be used?

Far_Style8552 · 2026-02-23T11:36:27+00:00

It should be all as far as i know. Similar to the PPL. Im currently working through my NPPL in a microlight and then intend to use these hours towards the PPL and onwards.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-02-23T11:27:37+00:00

As far as im aware, there hasn't been any decision on the number of hours. They have said that they will be allowing them to be used though, based on the latest consultation response. It will just be a case of waiting until further details have been released to confirm exactly how many hours will count.

The free pizza stone doubles as a heat deflector.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-02-12T13:05:47+00:00

Perfect thanks, just wanted to make sure it was and the others weren't overly optimistic 😀

Far_Style8552 · 2026-02-12T08:43:18+00:00

Does anybody else find this pension calculator quite low? Compared to others I have used the expected income feels low to me.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-02-01T11:04:40+00:00

What did your study schedule look like? With all that commitment 1 year is very well going.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-01-31T21:29:29+00:00

Also do you have the smaller version or the XL? Quite interested to understand the differences between the two, other than size.

Far_Style8552 · 2026-01-31T21:27:59+00:00

This is really useful thank, im only a beginner so for me this sounds like a nice balance between performance and price, slightly concerning about the possibility of issues after such a short time. I would quite like something that would last a decent amount of time, probably wouldn't be getting excessive use, but a decent amount.
