    Eydon Model DS Storm Kettle

    Hi Folks Just wondering if anyone has rated/reviewed the Eydon Storm Kettle and how it compares to the other brands? Does anyone know if the fabric handle is any use or does it get cremated when you fire the Kettle up? TIA Leo

    Bread/pizza oven

    Hi Folks I saw a really cool design for making a pizza oven using crushed pumice mixed with cement using an exercise ball as a form. I also saw a similar project using perlite. Does anyone know where I can source either? Leo

    What would you plant in a public open space...

    Hi All Given the option what plants (perenials/shrubs/trees whatever takes your fancy) would you choose to plant/like to see in public open spaces near you? This could be a play area, urban park, country park; basically land managed by local authority. The one caveat is that they would need...

    Recommend me books for menfolks ? please.

    The Lonesome Dove series is great. I'm not in to westerns but this was great, unforgettable characters, Gus McCrae! After that I tried the Sisters Brothers which was a good read too; dark and funny. I also loved 'The power of the dog' by Don Winslow (fantastic read with The Maffia, Mexican...

    Baking Steel

    I did look at stones but to be fair the cost was prohibitive at the time. Ironically it was whilst looking to see if I could find a cheaper route (unglazed tiles, natural stone tiles etc) I chanced across an article testing out the baking steal, then again by chance found other people who'd...

    Dogs Diet, Raw Meat.

    Sounds good. I suppose if you aren't spending out on lots of medicine you will be saving money there too but is it a more expensive way to feed or is it comparable to decent quality 'other' foods?

    Dogs Diet, Raw Meat.

    So are you subscribed to a certain 'brand' as it were or do you source it yourself? I literally have no idea! I didn't know about it until a year or so ago and previous dogs have been on mostly dry food.

    Dogs Diet, Raw Meat.

    Wow. Interesting and timely thread! We're literally just about to get a puppy (went to visit them yesterday) and have been looking for a while. The first breeder we met up with advocated a raw meat diet and I've been deliberating what to feed her ever since... but with a vegetarian wife I'm...

    Baking Steel

    I've been looking in to this quite a bit but to answer the non stick question I have seasoned it as you would cast iron too. The heat transfer is an interesting question too as it can relate to the surface texture and the colour too. This article experimented with a copper Steel/Stone but...

    Need a name for our new puppy :-)

    I've sprawled the lists Dave, this might sound daft but when I look through them there is no context so they all seem quite flat. I'm fighting against my wife's suggestion of 'Dotty' at the moment, surely that's inhumane isn't it?!

    Need a name for our new puppy :-)

    Thanks Terry... I know I said distinguished but to date I've never met a girl called Angus or Sebastian... or Luke... or Oscar! But I did once have a rescue cat called Coco :-)

    Baking Steel

    I got two bits in the end. Unfortunately the first was cut too small and they made a real botch of cutting it so they gave it to me. I tried somewhere else and managed to get a 16"/14" piece of 10mm mild steel in the end for £15. Cooks up a treat! My pizzas now have a lovely crispy crunch...

    Hi Folks We have a new pup coming! It's been on the cards for a while but after a few blanks were fired we've finally got there :-) It's a lovely Wirehaired Hungarian Vizsla bitch and I need your help with an outstanding name before the three women in my life give it some humiliating name...
