...bitchin' and general annoyance towards the Mrs has finally worked and paid off....I am allowed to build a pit in the back garden!...Ahem, WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!

I can't do anything until about May next year (funds y'know) but I plan on a concrete base, blockwork and facing bricks with a domed and door'ed access hatch to refill the wood/charcoal with some expanded metal sheet for a grill and a steel hinged 'lid'

I reckon a couple or three hundred for the materials and then the hunt for whole hog'll start!

Excellent, I can't wait for the photo library of the build.

You have a good few months to learn Sketchup so I reckon it will be the mother of all outdoor ovens. Pimp it up with some cool lighting!

Nice One

This sounds good, looking forward to seeing it.

Now when we get to see the pictures, maybe I could use them as the "other alternative" to a free standing smoker. Look darling I could always build one of these (hoping she wouldn't realise we don't have the room ).
Keep us updated please even if all we can do is dream

Sounds like a great plan.

Try whinging and whinning a bit more and you might be allowed to build a pool next to it as well :0)
