Hi Haldi,
The curry shed is a pent roof design and is about 7 feet at its highest, I'm 6'2" so my head/eyes are in the fumes/smoke and it did make my eyes sting a bit even with the doors wide open.
A much higher roof and I'd get away with it I suppose.
Regards,
Mick

No worries Garry,
Mix powder, Spice Mix...call it what you will.

I'm using this one at the moment.

6 teaspoons of Rajah Mild Madras Powder.
4 teaspoons of Paprika Powder.
2 teaspoons of Coriander powder.
2 teaspoons of Cumin Powder.
2 teaspoons of Turmeric Powder.
1 teaspoon of Garam Masala.

For garlic naans my preferred method is to use chopped garlic and roll it in to the dough then place the naan garlic side down onto the tea towel pad ready to stick it to the side of the tandoor.

Hi Mick,

I somehow missed this post  

All looks absolutely amazing fella, it really does.  Wish I had a curry shed but I only have a small back yard and your shed is probably bigger than my yard
