I had a bit of trouble getting hold of some charcoal,seems a lot of places don't stock it during the Winter.I found some today at my local garage.It does take a couple of burns as said before I can try some naan breads.

You've got to admit jb that a request for charcoal in the middle of winter is unusual, but then again only if you don't own a tandoor ;D

The assistant did give me a really funny look actually when I put it on the counter.I explained it was for my new tandoori oven(she was Asian by the way)...she couldn't stop laughing!

Hi JB,
As winter is usually the time for bonfires, why not kill two birds with one stone and make your own charcoal 

How to make your own charcoal

There's a guy in my village who makes a huge amount each year on a still day and fills the whole place with an eerie smoky fog.

I tried my oven this afternoon,very impressed so far.Only cooked some plain chicken(no marinade) basically just to get a feel of the thing.It got hot,very blooming hot can't imagine putting my arm in for the naan breads!!!  It cooked the chicken just right;a little charred on the outside but really moist inside.Hopefully if he weather continues I'll start to do some real stuff.

Nice one jb.  Better equip yourself with a welding gauntlet for the naans ;D
