nope. I will never agree with this. Im not really interested in bbq if its got to be all difficult. I just want to cook outside with booze in my hand.

I mean i guess I agree, its cheating and I'm cool with that.

I stayed up all night trying to get the Aldi one a few weeks ago. They sold out immediately and grifters were selling them for twice the sale price. So maybe pick one up, if you don't like it you will make some money. Rather someone bought one with some intention of using it.

Plenty of reviews on YouTube I think. The ceramic egg style BBQs have a lot of advantages, but they don't have a lot of cooking area so if you want to be able to cook burgers and sausages for 20 people you are better off with something else. If you want to do great beef joints for 4 people it is perfect.

I've had the aldi one for a couple of years now, it's really really good and super simple to use. Probably use it more than the actual oven at this point (especially now the weather's less Scottish).

While a grain platform can be used for corn, a specialized corn head is ordinarily used instead.

I have one of these. Very handy for making pulled pork, and cooking with charcoal is really no massive hassle as long as you use a chimney (if you dont have one get one, it's a life changer compared to e.g. when i was a teenager and we all starved while dad spent like 2 hours trying to get the grill going).

We've been saying that for a while now, but things refuse to burn in a cleansing pyre of our shame and resentment that will consume all that we are and the corruption we exude.

no and I hope that isnt the slang name. On an old jag xj. the passenger window just does its own thing so I bought a new (old) unit to replace it but I'm a cack handed moron and the wire has come off the little wheel thing and just gently caress it.

I have a portable AC unit. Costs about 300 quid normally, old-work sold it to me for a tenner when they were refurbishing. It's a lifesaver.

Oh, bargain! Yeah, we're looking at costs of portable vs installed. Portable needs the tube out a window, and to get emptied all the time. Actual wall units aren't that much more, but getting a bod to properly install seems to be more than the unit costs.

Bikes are very simple machines and if you have even a halfway logical brain you can learn how to service one yourself with minimal tooling. Park Tool has a website with instructions and they also have a youtube channel with videos covering virtually everything. I've been buying their tools for decades and I love that they also did the site and vids for people.

I make sure there's air in the tyres and spray the chain with GT-85.... is there much more to servicing then that?
Once it stops braking effectively I'll change the pads but that's not been an issue yet

Ohhh loads can go wrong. Basically everything wants to and will break but don't worry about it.

Cables should be cleaned/lubed/replaced when they stop shifting/braking nicely but that's such a gradual thing most people don't notice until they actually stop shifting or the pull on the brake lever gets really lovely. If you're not replacing cabling entirely you can do a kinda basic 'service' on them by pulling the outers out of the cable stops and blasting the poo poo out of them with WD40, moving them up and down over the inner cables to try and pull out any crap, blast again with WD and then hit with an oil and slip them back where they were. If this doesn't help then you'll have to replace the inners and outers but chances are it'll do the job nicely.

You could treat the drivetrain to a proper clean too on occasion, pound shops sell their version of Muc-Off (which is about £15 a go usually) for a quid and it is honestly the same thing. Combo that with an old toothbrush and knock off the poo poo from the cassette/chainrings, rinse and then hit with WD40 and then a cheap chain oil and you're good to go.

Obviously if your brakes and gears need adjusting, once your poo poo is freshly lubed would be the time to do it.

Bikes aren't hard and I recommend doing maintenance in the sunshine out in the garden with a couple of nice ciders of your choosing.
