Lol...  Love it....  Nice one Chewy.  FYI I've had my tandoor in the garden, covered and pushed into a sheltered area to keep the worst of the elements off it and it has worked just fine.  As you know I fired mine up last week and it's in good shape.  The clay isn't cracked at all.  Good luck to all Tandoori nutters!!!  Lol....

Not sure Gav but my guess is 1 quid a cook or less.  I bought a 13 kilo bottle of propane at a cost of 26.50 (the one off cost for the bottle was 35.00). I reckon I'll get more than 26 cooks!  I'm using a propane regulator. They are fairly standard and available.  I'll try and remember to take a pic of it later and send it over.

Hi Mick.  Gav you're right, from Puri @ ?85.00 for the burner & baffle plate. To complete the kit I needed to buy separately the hose, regulator & Gas bottle. Altogether I guess ?180.00 but worth it.  Had it for 2 weeks now and used 5 times.  The difference I find between charcoal and gas is : GAS; even heat, no more burning of the lower levels & no need for the spud at the bottom. Takes 1 minute to light it and ready to cook @ 300 Celsius in 35 mins.  No cleaning out used ashes etc.  Doesn't cost me ?10 - ?15 in coals each time I fire it up!   CHARCOAL;  I feel like I'm cheating by not using coals!!!  Here's a couple of pictures of results this week:



Mr. Punter

No nothing at all to do with Puri.  I just bought a Tandoor from them.  They asked for pictures or video so I sent and they seem to like them enough to put on their site...  Why not.    Good point about the green Tandoor. 

Ok. It's gone...   Can you tell me how to start a new topic when using an iPad?

I do Madrasandy.   Why's that?   iPads don't seem to be good when using this site,  would you agree?
Thank you for the welcome ELW


Mr. Punter

I'm cooking it up right now..... 


Mr. Punter

Correction.... Gav.   Apologies

Go for it Gaz!    The Puri Tandoors are definitely the poshest I've seen on the market but what with all that shinny stainless steel to clean.... Ooooh!  Mines filthy at the moment... Sometimes I wish I'd gone for a less posh one. Maybe like one of the ones Reza Catering sell (www.rezacatering.com).  They have a fair size green one that's square'ish, reasonably tall enough, tuff looking like it could withstand our harsh winters weather etc and it was only about ?150.00 + VAT.  I think you could dual use it by fitting the gas fittings when you want to!  I'm told the taste difference between Gas & charcoal is minuscule but gas must be so must easier to use!   I'm fed up with getting the Tandoor hot enough, turning round to have a quick chat and a small beer to find it needs more coals so start again....  Plus all those ashes!!!  I'll find out this weekend.   The pizza rack will also fit this one.... Let your day of madness arrive.....!
