What did you buy today?

[Stevie777]

A Laptop ..long overdue mind you..

I did ask them in the shop as nothing in there had prices on them, a bit odd I thought

Met a girl who worked in Poundland, she told me that the one thing that drove her nuts was people asking "how much is this ?"

Been caught out myself a couple of times, when checkout assistant tells me "do you know that you get 2 of those for a pound".

Finally, after at least a year of lusting after this but my beloved persuading me it's just a needless gadget, I've finally bit the bullet and ordered myself a Biolite stove...

Over the year the price has dropped an awful lot so I just had to...didn't I?

Day off tomorrow and it should be here all going well....so I have the while day to play with it.

Biolite stove arrived this afternoon...I felt like a kid waiting for Christmas morning!

In between rain showers, I got a few minutes to play with it. I've heard the odd review mentioning the noise of the fan but in reality is probably quieter than a gas camping stove. The fan makes a massive difference to getting the fire going as well as the ability to toggle between simmering and a rolling boil.

Only took a couple of minutes to get the little green light that meant it was also ready to start charging my phone. By that time, a litre of water was already bubbling away, probably only taking about 3 minutes to get to a good rolling boil.

I'll have a look around and see if a review had been done here...if not I'll do one as soon as I get a proper chance to play with t.

Bought a Rogue Trekker hat. Not sure why though! It seemed like a good idea at the time. I'll see what it's like when it arrives.

Nice smoker!! (made by the preson who intruduced BBQ to Sweden in the 40s)

 

[cbrdave]

Smoker?, I thought it was some sort of billy can type cooker, it has a wind shield type stand and a small pan for what I thought was liquid fuel, will have to google the name and see what it comes up with.

 

[SGL70]

Well...It looks a bit like the present day 'ABU röken'

 

[hiho]

my first thought was smoker too

 

[cbrdave]

Cool, thanks for the info, will have a read up on how to use it.
