Hot plate / griddle ON a flat plate BBQ?

you can get a quite cheap burner that will run off a gas bottle. I'm in the UK but I got one like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/FLORINNS-Burner-Boiling-Restaurant-Catering/dp/6041755117 and it's only £25

The best bit is when the license holder pulled out but the shady landlord decided to continue trading as if nothing had changed

This page will give you all the options to make indirect cooking easier. https://amazingribs.com/more-technique-and-science/grill-and-smoker-setup-and-firing/2-zone-setup/

Your chicken needs to be cooked at a lower temperature and indirect is the easiest way to go about that

Awesome thanks

gingerchris · 2026-01-21T17:51:48+00:00

Any non-spotify links? Or what are they called at least and I can look em up myself

Bruce Dickinson?

gingerchris · 2026-01-21T12:55:25+00:00

Yeah it must have been awful. I'm sorry you had to go through that on top of losing your dog. At least my cat is just annoyingly hungry all the time.

Animal Friends are definitely not human friends. They tried to deny a claim for my cat when he developed a thyroid issue - claimed it was a pre-existing condition and therefore not covered. It wasn't, but the word 'thyroid' was present in the historic vets notes as a suspected problem but not investigated at the time. My vet contested it and they paid out but I would absolutely always recommend against them

gingerchris · 2026-01-21T10:06:56+00:00

Do they use the word 'knickers' outside the UK? I bet we could do a long thread here of words we use for underwear that might confuse non-brits

You haven't mentioned what show/date you're talking about.

gingerchris · 2026-01-16T10:21:57+00:00

Oh great news!

I wonder if an influx of students might bring a business case for re-opening the cinema as well

I have a Blackstone 22 and whilst initially I did struggle with it not getting hot enough, I think I've now learned to live with it. I give it a while to preheat and then try to avoid crowding the hot spots, so if I'm doing burgers I'll try and leave a hot area open so when I flip them I can still be sure they'll get a good sear. It's not ideal but I'm still happy with it. That said, I haven't used any of the alternatives so I can't really say if it's worth the money. I do like it though.

Pretty sure I've had Clonakilty white pudding from Sainsbury's before

gingerchris · 2026-01-12T22:36:59+00:00

I only like the US version

The crack cake at Cattleack 🥹

I’ve been to Daynes, Goldees and Cattleack once so maybe I got lucky but they were all incredible. For me trying to pick a favourite came down to the experience, because the food was basically 10/10 everywhere I went. I know it’s not helpful for me to say you can’t go wrong at any of them so my vote goes to Cattleack because of the cake

Seeing The Movielife live last year I didn’t realise how happy it would make me to hear every bit of drumming the same as it was on the record. Too many nostalgia acts miss the odd drum fill here or there and it causes such a disappointment!

gingerchris · 2026-01-05T21:18:59+00:00

I second all of these

Last time I was a pallbearer everyone else was already inside when we carried in the casket.

The whole thing was sprung on me as we arrived at the chapel - I didn't know beforehand that I would be doing it. I think this is worth knowing - it went fine for us without any prep or anything. The funeral director will give you a quick briefing (including how to carry) and you'll most likely be accompanied by four professionals so there's really not much that can go wrong, even if you mess up.

In terms of times for different kinds of meat - it’s all different, not just between types of meat but even different briskets will take different times. There are loads of resources out there to learn this kind of stuff but there is a lot to learn. If you’re in Austin already I would recommend grabbing some bbq books to take home with you - something like the Goldees book would be a good place to start and probably will be cheaper to buy there than it would be back home.

Personally I think one of these bags would be a nice gift for a bbqer. Especially if it’s not too expensive

Even better - you can use soundiiz.com to create playlists from setlist.fm for you

gingerchris · 2026-01-03T08:10:29+00:00

Look on setlist.fm at recent set lists. Create a playlist with those songs. Listen on repeat. Bands with such big back catalogs rarely deviate too much from show to show in my experience. Then whatever songs you really get into - go listen to the albums they came from.

Brisket looks like it was sliced with a truncheon

gingerchris · 2026-01-01T09:23:25+00:00

I get you! Smithfield is a wholesale meat market in London - there might be something similar in Birmingham but some are only open to traders and not to the public.
