Welcome mate, good to see another Scot on here.

You'll soon find yourself wanting to do beer can chicken, brisket and pulled pork.

Elaborate please

Sold out at Argos unfortunately so I'll need to see what's available elsewhere.

No hurry though, had a good couple of days with the XL20, done a pork loin, brisket, chicken fillets, chicken wings and a couple of beer can chickens. Not being at work is good for my tastebuds but probably bad for my ...

Thanks for the replies guys.

I've just put a couple of chickens on, I have to say I'm enjoying the practicing. Lets see how I do this time.
