Topic: Home Tandoor

[chilli-man-sam]

Some time ago i purchased a Puri Tandoor which is heated by charcoal placed in the base.  i had some success but couldn't really get it hot enough.  i decided to try to convert it to gas and it worked brill (see pic).

I used a gas ring placed in the bottom then placed a steel mesh on a stand above and added a couple of kgs of lava rock.  Connected to a LPG bottle and fired up - a little tuning of the the air valve to get blue flame and wallah!!

I am going to strip it down later to improve the mesh stand, i will get some pics of the set up and post.

Ive got a Puri Tandoor, i light a little pile of charcoal to get it warm and while thats going on fire up a webber chimney full of charcoal, and then drop it in when white, after 15 mins its good to go, i use restaurant grade charcoal, the briquettes don't get hot enough in my opinion.
