Hi Chaps, the tandoori is standing up to the test and makes for good enterainment for guess too [espically when i loose my arm hairs] the tikka comes out suculent and tender. Mmm.. heres some Tikka Pics.

UB,

interesting stuff.

i've been cooking tikka on my chiminea on the QT. i might go for a bracket as the tikka can catch the side and burn if i'm not careful.

also when feeding the 1/2 breast's onto the skewer i've only pushed it on at the top and bottom unlike your pick. i have the skewer hot when feeding it on.

might be worth a try.

Ive notice that bir tikka always has a hole running though it from the skewer, so i do like-wise. Also the heat up the skewer help it cook quicker.

like this feller... feller.

UB,

threading the meat on at the top & bot of ea breast is very easy. it's exactly how my local BIR do it. others may do it different. at my local TA u only get a hole now and again - not in every piece. just give the other method a try - then make u're own mind up. it impacts the cooking of the chicken.

I finally got the time to read through this awesome thread. Unclebuck you are a living legend. This made for wonderful reading. I am amazed that you make it all look so easy and the final construction pic is just fantastic. Your mates must love it when you have them round.

I cant wait for your next project and although it ain't a curry thing perhaps you could open a new thread and keep us all enthralled as your pizza oven comes together (I am sure nobody will mind). I lived in the South of France over the last four years and they were very popular in the outdoor kitchens many folks had in the garden. I am not sure of the actual wood used or whether it mattered but the pizza produced was the best ever.

This site is just fantastic and this piece of work adds even more to the pride in which I have in recommending it to anybody who is interested. Your a star and thanks together with all the others who have contributed. Great entertainment and inspiration. PP

real lovley pics ub

i was wondering if a grill placed partly up the pot would solve any droppage problems?

also the internal area of the pot looks quite sooty (last pic you posted) how do you solve cooking nans on the side wall?

wish i had the area to build something like this, much better than a bog standard bbq.
