I assume the slabs for the ones ready to go (1st photo) and the second photo is just for display purposes for the photo. My dogs would love it though

Lol I think my dogs would love it too!
My slabs would be plastered with either marinade or fat. I suppose the Dogs would do their best to keep them clean. ;D

Quite like the idea of the gas conversion kit tho. It can be annoying when the tandoor starts cooling down. How much for a kit Stuart?, and where can I get one from?

Cheers

A belated hello to stewartnewport - what an entrance!

Hi Mick.  Gav you're right, from Puri @ ?85.00 for the burner & baffle plate. To complete the kit I needed to buy separately the hose, regulator & Gas bottle. Altogether I guess ?180.00 but worth it.  Had it for 2 weeks now and used 5 times.  The difference I find between charcoal and gas is : GAS; even heat, no more burning of the lower levels & no need for the spud at the bottom. Takes 1 minute to light it and ready to cook @ 300 Celsius in 35 mins.  No cleaning out used ashes etc.  Doesn't cost me ?10 - ?15 in coals each time I fire it up!   CHARCOAL;  I feel like I'm cheating by not using coals!!!  Here's a couple of pictures of results this week:

Looks good Stu. Can I ask if it uses much gas and what type of regulator did you use for it?

[Stu-pot]

Not sure Gav but my guess is 1 quid a cook or less.  I bought a 13 kilo bottle of propane at a cost of 26.50 (the one off cost for the bottle was 35.00). I reckon I'll get more than 26 cooks!  I'm using a propane regulator. They are fairly standard and available.  I'll try and remember to take a pic of it later and send it over.
