Hi Everyone, I hope this is the right forum section.

I, like everyone else, is having trouble finding decent charcoal or briquettes now that its christmas season and not barbecue season.

So ive taken it upon myself to rectify the problem. I have 20 10kg bags of supagrill cocoshell briquettes ...

Just worked it out, I can get those 10kg bags of supagrill cocoshell delivered to me for about 12.50 each but I need to get 20 bags. If we can find 20 bags worth of people willing to do it and I can get the money in my paypal (pretend its a gift so they dont charge a fee...!!) then we can do this ...

Hi Everyone,

I found a source of Cocoshell at a very good price, about a pound a kilo, but delivery is a problem. If you lot can fill up my paypal account accordingly id be happy to buy 20, 30 - whatever quantity bags and bring them to the november smoke up at Tobys place.

Hi Everyone,

Ive said this before, but I look at this and I think that this just cannot work. I know it does, caus every decent smoker out there is reverse flow ...

Hi Paul,

Hi Everyone,

Been doing more work on the smoker recently, thought id update, incase anyone is interested...


I decided to convert the smoker to reverse flow, so this needs another chimney at the firebox end of the cooking chamber.


A few years ago I dinged the shiny steel running bar on the side ...

Hi Everyone,

I have another thread going about the cheap offset smoker mod project im working on. I decided to have a go at making a pellet burner and the results are rather surprising.

I got a few kg of hickory/oak mix pellets from the kind owner of a new but very good local bbq smokehouse ...
