Re: Thermopen, Still the best?

I've just bought a simple digital Weber stick thermometer and it's pretty quick, good enough for what i need it for and only $35 I've recently heard that Inkbird may have had a recall on one of their thermometers, not sure what model. Not sure if it's been rectified or not. Thermo-pens have always b...

Re: Advice on community hall BBQ

Yes I agree with smokey, provided your old BBQ is still not in too bad condition, it could possibly be worthwhile to refurbish it, new burners, knobs and wheels etc.

Or

Maybe buy a pellet grill and the chef can cook you all some low n slow smokey BBQ.

Cheers

Re: Advice on community hall BBQ

Hi AvB, Yeah after looking up the Hercules BBQ, I can see why your committee have decided that brand and they are made in Australia too so should get good back up. They look very solid and pretty much the same quality as Heatlie which is also an Australian made BBQ so good on you guys for choosing A...

Re: Advice on community hall BBQ

Hi there AvB, I actually didn't give Gasmate a thought so I'm glad you brought that up, they are a good brand, been around for decades and I've never heard a bad thing against them. They are very dependable and Gasmate has a lot of parts and connections for just about everything, not just BBQs. Bunn...

Re: Advice on community hall BBQ

Hi AvB, I'm assuming that the usual BBQ fair at the Community Hall would be of a sausage sizzle and mostly all hotplate/ griddle style cooking so to cook that much food for 60 plus people on a regular basis, best not to buy cheaply as you'll constantly have to replace it. The good thing is you're no...

Re: Emberpak

I seen that he is still an active member of SF&F as I seen his User name online when i went in for my usual browse.

So perhaps if you see his name in there online, send him a PM and ask what's happened.

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.

He was survived by his Wife Jill. Captain C...
