Basher

I’m going to experiment on the underside of my bench tops with 3 different oils from the same producer. The difference is UV and mould inhibiters added to the furniture and decking oil, and a hardened added to the decking oil. This is 5 minutes after the first coat of 3 oils with a rag. This timber is a hard wood known as river red gum, aka Queensland Blue Gum. It’s pretty dense. I noticed early that the heartwood absorbs this oil 10 times deeper than the outer timber. The outer timber is the trees second defensive barrier to the bark and repels water,,,,, and oil. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Troble I see you have a smooth concrete finish. If you want hidden stoppers and you don’t want your KK to move much. Maybe a couple of large galvanised washers under your wheels will be enough to hold it in place...... and easy to move and re set the position if you want to. You would only need to to set 2 wheels.

Troble I love the rotisserie. Probably my most used accessory, however, I don’t cook a brisket as well as you do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bard I’m sure you have planned your approach to rejuvenating these side tables and this approach may now not be for you. I have spoken to the manufacturer of Organoil and seen the finish they can achieve when the oil is burnished in- wet sanded. I’d never heard of this before and the manufacturer sent me these instruction sheets I’m not sure what product you have decided on. This manufacturer say you can burnish all their oils in. All natural products, basically combinations of Tung oil, linseed oil and citrus oils, plus some oxidants. I’m sure you will have similar products over there. This burnished finish looked like glass, without the surface depth. I’ll be trying this on some of my timber and will post results. Here is my sample piece.

Correct Mac, those multiple cooks look great tony. I think everyone is going into lock down while tony is coming out of hibernation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Send through the before and after shots Bard. I’m curious how they finish up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats on the decision to invest Mayor. If you can cook on a kettle you will smash your cooks with the KK. I was keen to get a guru type product called Smartfire, however, haven’t felt the need to and enjoy playing with settings to fine tune different cooks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well done Mac. Yum. That looks nothing like my last pancake. [emoji24] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bench tops shape up this week. Just wondering if I should paint that racing strip Ducati red?[emoji33] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s a slick looking ODK Troble. Well done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Braai I find it hard enough baking bread with modern ingredients. I can’t source any of that stuff Tekobo bakes with. Pequod seems to knock out loaves consistently. I’ll be stuffed if I know how. I’m trying again tonight. Have a theory that it’s too hot and humid here for dough- even 60% is hard to handle and it does very little for hours, then up to full rise and backs off within 30 minutes. Today’s dough has spent time in the fridge just as it starts to rise. Looking pretty good.... so far [emoji1696]. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You didn’t need much help to nail those first cooks on the KK bigshep. Welcome Braz. If you can cook on a kettle, the KK will be easy, and much more versatile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tekobo that looks tasty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aussie this is a clever move by Sco Mo. I employ about 30 people in a small family business. Part of my business is dead, and part is flat out so I am having open, tough discussions with some of my employees. Not dismissal conversations, more, take some time off so we can survive until post corona. If they become unemployed, its a burden on welfare and it takes time for business to rebuild. This package will have us rethink how we can repurpose these people in preparation for the rebuild. Everyone within a family business is valuable. Everyone becomes part of a family. Bring on the recovery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Time to put a ball and chain around your KK Tyrus. Mac that turmeric is suppose to have excellent health benefits. I’ve always found it lacked flavour- and turns everything yellow. Let me know your preferred method of consumption. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great looking chook bigshep. The different colour reflections off those tiles is amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pork Loin Bruce. I like the of those pork buns Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dennis you need to remarket these rib holders as a banana smores holders. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This was looking like a disaster when my son tipped the dough over in the fridge. Nought be ok, a little dense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dennis you are sounding like Henry Winkler in Happy Days. [emoji41] This worked every time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yum. It looks like you have cooked and sliced a few of these before glx. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Punch bowl! Not sure I’d be drinking it. The steel is about a 1/4 inch thick and I’d say it would hold around 30 gal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The kids want to see how the fire pit area was, so we have it a go after the plumbers had run the lines for gas, hot and cold water, sewerage for waste and stormwater. Used it as an opportunity to burn some of the scrap timber rather than dumping it. It’s hard to tell what’s been treated these days. If in doubt, it’s dumped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
