Thanks guys, that's really helpful.

Hello, I'm gonna do some quarters for my first cook and am looking for some advice as to what temp and how long. Probably will do some jerk and some Provençal. I'm planning to do indirect and crisp the skin direct at the end. Will one chimney of coals do I will I need to refill? And I was...

I'll be doing my first cook on my new 57cm kettle and I'm wondering about using the lid thermometer as a guide to know when I'm at the right temp. Is it usable? I've also got a cheap oven thermometer to pop on the grate. My thermapen hasn't arrived yet. Expensive hobby this bbq lark isn't it...

Hi, My new One Touch Premium arrived yesterday, s-weet! Quick question, how snug should the lid be? I looked at a jumbo joe the other day and the lid was really tight. On this one the lid has at least 5mm travel side to side. Is that ok? All in all it's just what I was looking for, can't...

Thanks everyone. The cheapest i can find the Premium new is £157. I can get the standard for around £90 and then buy the hinged grate but obviously it won't have the premiums ash pan or the thermometer. Which way to go?

Hi, Up until now, I've just been grilling on a makeshift hibachi style using a black and decker workbench, a baking tray, an oven rack and some bricks. Unsophisticated I know, but the old B&D barbecue-mate has served me proud! But now I'm thinking that I'm missing something by not having a lid...
