It's not advised to use a charcoal starter in a kamado and more so with a cheaper kamado. The high temperatures of the chaircoal is to sudden and make the ceramic ehm...in dutch we say 'startle'. This results in miniscule cracks in the ceramic and shortens the lifetime to an eventual big crack. This is even more so the case with the cheaper kamado's. So either a lot of the big-bbq-ers are over concerned or you're not doing wise using this.

I can't find a heat deflector for this size. Have you?

Well done mate, great video 👍 I’m glad I watched it

Is it safe do you think this kind of paint contains asbestos

Keeping the compost moist is the tricky part but this year has been more rain than sun so you should be good. I made a couple of 5ft strawberry towers out of 160mm soil pipe. I have them suspended from hanging basket brackets attached to the 3x3 fence posts.

Cheers, going to try this on my porridge too

Is there any dangerous with exlode Seat airbag ?

What happened to part 3?

This is very good. Very creative. You have really helped me.

Well done mate🥭🥭🥭

Great idea! My daughter is obsessed with strawberries but they’re so expensive just now. I’ll need to grow some

Da Malat! I built your Pizza Oven design. Fantastic videos.

Great idea. Thx.

Big THANKS, for it is very thorough!

Thanks. Real informative

Excellent wonderful

so clear thank you, wish you had done a standard window 90 degree mitre for the window shelf as well

Very good video im hungary men thankyou very much

thanks for posting this..in the middle of this job right now and already gauged out some bits - any recommended wood filler for pine finish before I apply stain/varnish?

Perfect. Thanks for the help! Just been scratching my head thinking how to do it.

Very practical and certainly more cost effective than door clamps from tool shops. Love it mate.

Hi mate....did you need planning permission for that 5x5m cabin?

Great informative video! Been doing my research and every other video has no actual dimensions. Thank you for this! Now I just need to convert the numbers to inches. Looking forward to doing this project. Cheers!

simple but hugely useful advice no more lumps (great)

I found this useful as well thank you

Is it ok to use the Kamado without the tripod stand on a stone or metal (zinc) surface?

Old school on site stuff. Top geezer!

Thx for the update. Best wishes in what ever the future brings. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.

Where is part 3 ?

Great video thank you, Just curious as to why you didn’t make the base and oven with the shaving foam aircrete mix? Steve (67yrs) Manitoba

Sorry to hear you’ve under the weather, Kerry, hope it gets sorted now quickly and with the speedy recovery you deserve. I also have fond memories of you working with us - great times. Kind regards, Malcolm

Great just saved me £52!

Brilliant 😊

Trying to aerate something with a trowel is a bit silly..

Did you buy that 1948 Flxible from Bud Hover?

Where is Part 3?

For those of you with a 2012 CC: Don’t remove the black piece on the yellow connectors. Once you push stationary clip to the side and get both yellow connectors to slide out of the rails: push down on the black piece on the connector wired to the car and pull the two connectors apart. The black piece going down allows just enough room for the yellow tab to release. It takes a bit of force pushing down the black piece and pulling them apart. Then reinstalling you push the two together and the tab on the connector w/ black piece should snap back into place.

regular wood glue bonds polystyrene foam. no clamps or weights. I did a test with a 4 inch block of wood and set it down onto 1lb polystyrene foam (one pound refers to the density, this is very light foam) and left it alone for a day. there was no added pressure other than the weight of the wood itself. the bond is so strong that the foam will break before the glue does. it works with foam-to-foam but will slip and slide around until the glue tacks up. advise letting a skin of glue nearly dry on both surfaces and then bond them. if you use anything containing petroleum distillates, it will melt foam. 3M 77 spray melts it, as well. avoid any adhesive containing toluene or acetone. HOWEVER one of the best adhesives for polystyrene is called Sta'Put (quite expensive) contains acetone just enough to cause excellent adhesion. I can't believe you're claiming wood glue doesn't work and that you went through a bunch of tests that a simple google search would have informed you to not bother.

You can always burn the foam out

So of the 3 sections, which are the ones that run horizontal?

I mixed 6 parts perlite, 1 part refractory concrete, 1 part Portland cement, and water, for the oven floor under the tiles, It's been curing for 5 days, but it hasn't fully hardened yet. I can still dent the surface with my nail. Could it be that I used too much water, and it won't cure properly? Or will it just take more time? Or could it be the mix itself?

I’m trimming out a wood box and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. This project means the world to me.

This looks like a lovely setup mate, bet it's a great space in the summer. Definitely given me some ideas for my garden. Great vid.

Great work!

Use teflon tape to seal the spray nozzles

A high pressure aero cloner would give you complete control and fine mist. Sprinklerponics works but no plant on earth needs that amount of water :) 3 nozzles will completely fill the tote with mist in a couple of seconds.

Glad to see you're back !
