Yep we were given crackers Rob. Guess most of us didn't want to mess our hair up. 
Brought our own booze though.

Good to hear Martin. Were you not given any Christmas crackers though? I used to like wearing the paper hats It looks like a few of your party brought their own.

Wow! Looks the business. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Bob. Same to you.

So this post is for anyone interested in building their own tandoori oven at home. You will need a large glazed pot and two smaller pots that will fit inside. One inverted on top of the other. We measured the small pots so the base of the inverted pot would stick out a few cm above the top of the main pot. You’ll also need to some high heat vermiculite and some high heat cement mix. We also got some high heat bricks for the base, and a ceramic cutting tool for the angle grinder. We cut a square hole in the side of the main pot near the bass and a similar size hole in the side of the interior pot that sits upward. We then cut the high heat bricks to form a base inside the pot facing upwards. Next we cut the base of the second pot and inverted it and used the cement to glue it to the first pot then we put these inside the main pot and then cut some other ceramic pieces to create a channel from the outside of the main pot to the inside pot. So we could load up charcoal during a cook. Plus it lets airflow in. We used the cement mix to glue the pieces of the channel onto the pot and the outside pot. Then we filled in the gap between the pots with vermiculite. I put some decorative rocks on top of the vermiculite to hold it down, and bought some tandoori skewers. The channel prevents any vermiculite from getting into the cooking chamber and allows air into the centre. We also bought a larger ceramic pot base to use as a lid. Hope this all makes sense! Ask any questions you have.
