    Anyone use a Brinkmann Smoker/BBQ

    Thats why I finally went for the weber, I got a really good deal and in the end it was only £50 more than the Brinkman once you had taken into account the accesories that came with it and that I would need to buy anyway. The buidl quality on the Weber is fantastic - I just need to use it now...

    Anyone use a Brinkmann Smoker/BBQ

    Anyone use a Brinkmann Smoker/BBQ

    Yes, it looks like R2D2 and is charcoal bbq. I definitely want to do hot smoking, cold smoking I may get into at a later date. I saw the three in ones and was considering them two its just there's some good offers on the brinkmann at the moment.

    Anyone use a Brinkmann Smoker/BBQ

    I would like to expand my bbq capability and try some slow roast / smoked recipes but for this I'll need a smoker. I've seen the Brinkmann Gourmet advertised widely at a reasonable price but wondered if anyone has one and if it's any good. My main concern that whilst it's not exactly cheap it's...

    Do combat boots give better ankle protection?

    I finally got around to seeing a physio and my ankle has a lot of scar tissue but he freed it off (that got rid of all the aching) and I have a series of exercises to build up the muscles and propriaceptors again. Interestingly enough, my 'good' ankle is also quite weak so thats getting the...

    Hi Guys, Sorry its took so long to reply - this packing malarky is taking up more time than I thought! So, demijohns allocated in first reply first served order and I've answered the PMs. Forest hermit - at the moment they are spoken for but if that changes I'll let you know. Thanks. Craig.

    Do combat boots give better ankle protection?

    Thanks for all the useful info - its been a while since I had chance to check in on the forum and there's some really good advice here. My ankle is much better now but its not got its original strength or full range of movement so I am off to get some professional advice on it. I'm seriously...

    Do combat boots give better ankle protection?

    Great - thanks. I do use well fitting boots with a custom orthotic insert now and its helped my stability no end. I was originally sceptical of the cost but they are worth their weight in gold. However, this last sprain is the first one for about 2 years so I was disappointed to say the least...

    Do combat boots give better ankle protection?

    I have an issue with one ankle in that I've strained it several times over a few years and now its weak and I'm clumsy which isnt a great combination. One of the contributing factors is that for a long time I had collapsed arches which made my feet unstable after a few miles. All this is...

    How often should you apply waterproofing products to boots?

    I was using Ledergris on my Altbergs but have switched back to the coloured Brasher wax I used for years on my Brashers as that seems to soak in better and kept my brashers looking new for 12 years. I always found the Ledergris seemed to dry up and crack off. I just rewax mine when they have...

    What tool is this?

    I have been looking through a few old tools I inherited and I can't decide what this if for. Its in a boxs mostly containing planes and I wondered if the hole is to hold a thin plane blade???

    What to do with my Grandads old tools

    Bit of a random question but having finally cleared out our grandparents house I have a number of old hand tools of my grandads that I don't know what to do with. Some of them I can use (and still do) but some are well beyond my skills and I can't see a time when I will have the time to use...
