Re: Its Quiet on this Board

Facebook forums only win because it's more instant, but good luck trying to find archive posts and topics that are anymore than 3 weeks old....that is the downside unless people keep feeding posts into that topic, it just fades into the never never!! Schuey has filled a niche, has a good and funny ...

Re: Its Quiet on this Board

Gday That was an interesting read. I had just joined the forum when everything “blow up”. Didn’t understand what had happened. Belonged to all the forums so I knew enough just to let sleeping dogs lie over the years. Glad I did wasn’t my place to judge anyway. It’s been long enough now I think so I...

Re: Vale Captain Cook 17th April 2023

Yep got it in my inbox.

Not working atm, sort of had to take time off due to my wife's and My health too, living off savings so can't afford donations anytime soon.

But good on you for doing that Cobbler.

Have fun cooking up a treat not that you're armed with the good book :)

Cheers

Vale Captain Cook 17th April 2023

Phil Hartcher aka Captain Cook hasn't been seen on forum pages in some time and today I found out why, around 15 Months ago on the 17th April, 2023, I seen on his Facebook page by some of his friends lamenting on his passing in the early hours on that day. He was survived by his Wife Jill. Captain C...

Re: Its Quiet on this Board

Yes, at the time when you started importing Yoder Pellet grills, there was only Traeger, I had the largest 075 traeger as I bought the same time as CC and so did Commander Cody who bought the sliding lid model....he already had a reverse flow offset "Gordy" Then came GMG that Bentley so op...

Re: Its Quiet on this Board

When I clicked on the website link on that facebook page, it tried to bring up the same FB page again, no actual website.....so yeah....m...

Re: looking for a part for a weber

HI dodster, There's nothing to say that you can't fit any type of temp guage into a Weber ( I think you're referring to the kettle) I've seen huge temp meters in the kettle models that didn't come with a temp guage.....it all depends where you place it. If you place it at the top of the lid, the tem...

Re: Bradley element options

Hi Elfmel, How old is it? Are they still available in Australia new or no longer? Sadly that is one of the big problems with some imports, oh they want to sell you a cooker but they don't want to stack the parts or that model is no longer available or supported, usually from a factory in China. If y...

Same to you Beaver....how have you been?

Been a long time since the heady days of BBQ wars :lol:

Are you still involved with it? As you can see this forum is pretty much a ghost town these days.

Re: Gas v charcoal v electric

G'day Cobbler Dave, Yeah another one from the same place but this time doing wings and once again, the electric Pulse has almost equalled the Weber Kettle with Lump Charcoal in it. https://youtu.be/v67qowE8cek?si=Dtpbi35gw1w7OOzg I've never cooked on the Pulse, there's 2 models though, the 1000 with...
