    Hi Fenman, Glad I'm not the only Brit on this forum. Regarding your Avatar picture - Is that your smoke house? If it is, Wow! Looks like a log cabin. Norm

    Thanks for the welcome. Do you use your 1200Watt element to heat your smoker enclosure or to heat the wood chips? Old Norm

    Thanks for pointing out the problem with my pine cladding idea - Most appreciated. I only suggested it as it is readily available. Are there other woods that would be more suitable? Old Norm

    Thanks for the welcome and as you can see I've already got some good feedback. Glad you appreciate some of our amber nectars. I have a few favourites like Theakstones "Old Peculier", Marstons "Bombadier", Fullers "London Pride" to name but a few. Old Norm
