Hi Chriswg

I have a spicesofindia Tandoor and Im having loads of fun with it.

One of the best things I have bought.

Its good because its portable so I can keep it inside when the weathers cold.
Im sure frost and porous clay are a bad combination.
Its a bit heavy (35 - 40 Kg) but its got some good heavy duty casters and a good zip up canvas cover.

in lots of cultures obesity is a symbol of wealth. That kid obviously wants for nothing  ;D

Hi UB
in the Lassan recioe for tandoori chicken, I seem to remember the chicken is par boiled before marinating.
Perhaps thats the answer

Hi Guys
just to let you know, most asians around brum buy red potatoes. I supply loads of asian shops round Birmingham indirectly and they like them because they stand up better in the boil than most whites do. They do take a bit longer to cook tho. Cant really see any benefit other than that. The variety I grow and sell (mainly romano) dont taste much different to most other varieties so i wouldnt worry too much

@ 976bar,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm a bit disappointed my 200 quid blender couldn't do any better than my cheap Braun stick blender. In fact although it is very powerful the blade is not as sharp as my Braun. It would be fine without those coriander seeds!

another ?75 and you could have bought a tandoor  ;D

Willyeckerslike - that makes sense to me too. Ive been bringing the tandoor in at nights - worried that the frost might crack it and it is still quite warm the next morning

UB that looks like a smart bit of kit.I remember following your "Constructing a Home Tandoor" thread a while back now with great interest  and have contemplated copying your design How did you manage to protect it from the frost?. Spicesofindia have promised me a free lid with my next order! Cant say fairer than that. Theyll be giving me a free t shirt next lol. Anyhow id better shut up about them or youll all think I work for them or something

I dont know why your prototype doesnt get up to temp but i bet someone on this forum could answer your question. Im sorry i cant help

Hi Jerry
Photo as promised

Sounds good george. I am suprised that you didnt have more success. Have you explored the avalability of a clay liner? Are proper tandoor liners available? I seem to remember UB used a large teracotta flour pot? I would have thought that if you got the ventillation sorted youd be laughing
