Joining the Home Tandor club, Whoopdeedoo ;D
Restoration Project for summer fun.

Was offered this whopper oven the other day.
Thought about it for a minute and then said thanks. ;)
Just organised a gang for removal for Monday.

An original Dowd Tandor, Guessing its about 20years vintage, so it should be well seasoned.
Very low tech and not very shiny, a perfect boys toy.

Nice one Chewy, it looks like a proper tool, is it going in your kitchen or do you have a curry cave for it, looking forward to the results.

I am envious as I've got to wait a bit for mine (Puri one with gas) but it's definitely on the cards.

See what you and your photos have done Stuartnewport.  ;)

That looks great, was it expensive? Makes mine look rather small now :-)

My plan stalled slightly when I mentioned keeping it under the stairs in the winter but its nearly back on track.
Just picked up Ranjit Rai's Tandoor: The Great Indian Barbecue book (used) of ebay for just under

Hi Chewy

Wow, that looks fantastic. I wonder how long a Tandoor like that would take to come up to cooking temperature? it looks like its gas fed with something like the BBQ lava rocks in the bottom from the pictures?

Anyway, very jealous of you and all the other forum members with a proper Tandoor. Its hard for myself to justify the expense of say
