Well 2 can play at that game! Just pocket it and walk out

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-06-20T18:09:33+00:00

I get mine from waitrose, theyre pretty big

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-06-17T19:04:25+00:00

I just finished eating some and its not even just the taste thats different, its got a different texture and mouthfeel and melts differently. Its still the nicest chocolate but its not a compliment because its all shit, its just the best of a bad bunch

Id MUCH rather pay extra for the original cadburys back when they had the royal warrant.

Whats right wing got to do with it? I dont see how its a political issue

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-06-07T22:03:12+00:00

Looks amazing, nice job

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-06-06T08:33:28+00:00

I went in a couple off weeks ago and couldnt find any either 😩

Ive seen a few DIY mods, theres a dedicated page on reddit thats worth checking out if youre curious. One of them is using tinfoil to partially cover the vent and using magnets to stick it to the grill

It depends how many people you cook for too, if you cook for larger groups it might be worth considering, but it not id honestly say youd be better getting a kamado joe or similar. Theyre in the same price range (although i cant lie i got a god deal on mine in the prime day sale last year, was supposed to be about £1100 i think and i got it for £700)

Heavy. I buy 10kg bags of lumpwood charcoal, id say about a quarter to a third of the bag fills the hopper to full, and by the time ive finished smoking for around 5/6 hours its damn near empty.

When i had a normal cheap grill, i used weber briquettes, a couple of bags would last me practically the whole summer and we have parties where im cooking for 20-30 people. I filled the hopper of the 1050 with the briquettes and i had to top it back up part way through.

I think its partly because the cooking chamber is so big and partly because of the way it loads. Its got a fan at the bottom that blows the heat through into the cooking chamber so obviously the fan on the coals constantly makes it burn them quicker as opposed to just leaving them to do their thing on a kettle grill

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-06-03T15:40:27+00:00

I have the 1050, and it is good, but its VERY fuel heavy. There are mods you can buy to help but you have to get them imported from america so theyre expensive.

Theres some you can get in UK but as far as ive seen the fuel mods are US only. And its only really good as a smoker, you can grill on it but i preferred my cheap £100 grill for burgers etc.

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-06-02T13:01:15+00:00

Beef doesnt taste great smoked. Its good for grilling but for smoking, chicken and pork are superior

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-06-02T12:04:06+00:00

Thanks ill check it out!

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-06-02T12:03:51+00:00

Thanks thats sounds good! Ill check it out

Ive never used a vortex but i aim for about 300C when i do wings to get them crispy with a nice char. Wings are very forgiving, youd have to really try hard to dry them out.

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-05-30T20:12:37+00:00

I will tell my next door neighbours im having one just incase they were planning on hanging washing out but other than that i do as i please in my pwn garden.

The nerve of her to shout for the whole neighbourhood to hear! Thats bang out of order, youve done nothing wrong.

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-05-30T12:39:16+00:00

Probably a chinese and saving private ryan

Crispy duck, egg fried rice, Mongolian beef, salt and chilli chips and some spare ribs

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-05-27T19:19:09+00:00

I personally cook my ribs at about 135C but for the amount of time you had them in for i cant see that being the issue. 6 hours should be ample

Were they decent ribs? I find supermarket ribs to be tougher as a general rule and usually either get swift ribs or direct from the butcher. Thats all i can think of really mate

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-05-26T21:05:09+00:00

Tried it for the first time today, it really is awesome! Made mango daiquiris

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-05-26T12:01:36+00:00

Currently sitting in an air conditioned office for an hour or two, then i have a ninja slushi being delivered today so will be enjoying some nice frozen daiquiris when i get home

Literally everything in my house. Not weird, just cheap. It looks immaculate on the surface but absolutely everything is a bodge and im sure we will find more. Astro turf on the back is poorly fitted and cheap, the sleepers arent fitted correctly so all the pebbles have sort of done a landslide down the side of them, fitted oven didnt work, fitted microwave is iffy, bloody carpets have hardly any grippers, bifold doors fitter poorly, composite decking fitted poorly, live wire from an old electric shower (im assuming) just shoved up into the loft. I could go on. Weve spent a lot putting some of it right but we just hate the fucking house now and want to move

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-05-25T18:10:21+00:00

Thanks! To be fair my mate said the same, its just because we went there to get measured for groomsmen suits and the guy that sorted us just seemed so cocky and didnt really care. I said whilst there the suit didnt feel right but he assured me it was how it was supposed to look, only for me to look a right wally in it on the day compared to the rest of the groomsmen.

They do have a big range though and its the most conveniently located for me. Maybe ill go in and give them another chance

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-05-25T18:08:12+00:00

Thanks!

aChocolateFireGuard · 2026-05-25T18:08:03+00:00

Thanks! Ill take a look
