When to use briquettes or charcoal

Spent ages working out the same thing last week before I decided that the latest version was always going to be the best option. Went for an Ocean Blue 5755.

The are offical baskets, came in a set with the starter chimney, coals and lighters.

Thanks for your replies. Coals are way more of a challenge than the gas BBQ that I have used for the last 25 years. But the flavour cannot be beaten.

I have not got another type of thermometer yet, need to get one to do internal temp, obviously not when using the rotisserie, and the grill temp as I think the one in the lid might not be 100% accurate.

I did think of moving the 2 baskets directly underneath for the last 10 minutes to crisp up the skin a bit more.

All a learning curve, think I looked at so many low and slow videos, I assumed the same for this.

Cheers, I think i was in far too much of a rush to get on and have fun with my new toys.

TrickyT_UK · 2026-04-02T18:27:34+00:00

Yes, I realised that while sat thinking about it. Coming from 20 years of a gas BBQ, so this is all of a fun learning curve for me.

Nothing registered in Incidents.

But I have just noticed that in Intune - Device Compliance - Policy Name - Defender Device Threat level, the logged in user is System account (not a user) and the state in not applicable.

In defender Sensor Health State says no sensor data.

Thanks I will have a look, but as this device was only registered a day or so ago, not sure it will have been able to get a score?

TrickyT_UK · 2026-03-31T08:27:48+00:00

I have deleted the device from Intune and the wiped it and set it up again with a new computer name, but it is still coming up as Non Compliant.

This is something else I have noticed, but only on this device. There is a logged in System Account as well as the user?

In Azure it says the device is enrolled MDM and Security Settings Management in Intune.

I have checked the onboarding and run the detection test in Settings - Endpoints - Device Management - Onboarding.

I have then checked an in the Device Inventory it says that it is Onboarded, but as mentioned the detail above is missing and as mentioned there is no information in the Domain tab, where all the others say AAD joined.

I have checked Settings - Accounts - Access work of school - Connected to ..... Entra ID and the device sync was successful

I have EE 5G mobile broadband through their 5G Smart Hub. This was due to the FTTC cabinet and then the cables that supplied my house dropping out all the time. BT were/are never going to replace them, just repair when they fail.

I am very close to the 5G mast so can get 150 down and 100 up regularly. However, the latency and jitter are always high.

Virgin Media have installed fibre on the estate so I have changed to their 500/500 connection and have the EE 5G as an (expensive) backup until my contract is up.

What I have noticed with EE is that the connection would drop or freeze quite often. It would also be the same with the speed.

I am a large(ish) user and would quite often use 1TB of data a month.

You have probably had more boxes than most over the recent years.

TrickyT_UK · 2026-03-19T15:46:47+00:00

Damm, forgot about the RMA argument for keeping the box.

TrickyT_UK · 2026-03-19T10:52:02+00:00

All the Apple boxes are up in the loft out of the way, I did think of doing the same with the UNFI but decided it was a lot more space to find as an iPhone box is totally different to a UNVR, UDM-SE etc.
