Its sad times people, morn with me...

The Tandoori Oven has now been condemned to rubble

Damp has compromised the insulation and now it just takes too long to heat up to a good working temp ie 400 degrees C and its not holding the temp for long enough.

RIP friend we had fun, all thous lost naans and arm hairs!! 

But don't feel down hearted fellow Cr0'sers UB's Tandoori Oven V2 is on its way to a garden near you [mine] with Mods

ill keep you posted

That's really sad ub. Climate huh? Makes a difference for sure so unless it's burning in the wee hours UK weather will fill it with moss.

Good luck on v2 ;D

UB - my sincerest condolences. Sorry about your loss.

Lookin forward to V2!

sends shudders up u're spine.

where do reckon the damp came from - through the base is possible but i guess from above - rain is most likely to cause such havoc.

That is very sad indeed , i am moving into my own property and it has a garden so will be looking to follow in your footsteps by building my own tandoor so any advice and tips are most welcome

I'm currently testing my Mk2 DIY tandoori oven but it's no easy feat to achieve temperatures above 300C so you were dong well if you reached 400C or more. I have some ideas for improvements and will post details if and when everything works out.

Hi UB
Sorry to hear of your loss.
I'm suprised the frost didnt crack the "chimney" anyway tbh
Looking forward to seeing your new design
