You might try horsing around with my breakfast juice recipe; it produces a juice something like what is commercially sold in the shops as, Big Tom.
Load a cocktail shaker with500mil tomato juice
4 Turns of sea salt
1 goodly pinch of cracked black pepper
5 shakes of Cholula hot sauce (used to...
As I am in the early stages of setting up, I won a Bifenett vacuum packer on flee-bay for less than £20. It works and will do till I get the urge to upgrade. I also got an electric meat slicer from Argos for under £30.
I tested both and am sure they will be adequate for my needs; I also have an...
Didn’t realise that horseradish was so easy to process.
Horseradish will be planted come spring or possibly earlier, didn’t know asparagus would grow wild, so will search for a spot to plant some.
Are there any other goodies that can be wild harvested?

Got the Bradley back to the cottage mid day Monday unpacked and set the wee beastie up in the after noon. Packaging was excellent and the construction/operating instructions were spot on, looks good, well imprested, even Hamish approved.
The local supermarket didn’t have any decent sized...
First thing tomorrow morning I will be checking with the agent to see that they have the Bradley in from the UK distributors before the hours drive to Castle Douglas.
Once I have the smoker on board it’s of to the local Tesco to get some supplies
for the test run and the main smoke.

Ordered a Bradley Original yesterday and will pick it up in Castle Douglas on Monday. I was tempted by the digital version but in the end decided to keep it simple, the more gadgets, the more there is to go wrong.
Smoking must be getting popular in the UK as Bradley UK had all the pucks except...
Sitting here after a long hard week, still 1 week to go until I go down to my cottage and I get my new smoker.
All is not lost, I was down at the Big S last night and found a stout that I hadn’t tried. Had 1 last night and have been back for a weekends supply.
This is a 4.5% Stout from the...
If you are looking for a good pellet for the higher powered weapons in .177 try the Bisley Magnums. This pellet weighs in nowadays at 10.7 gr. In my day they weighed in at 10.6 gr and were the most accurate hunting/field target pellet I ever used. They got even better once you cleaned, weighed...
The Gas Ram is an excellent system and was first used by Theoben in the UK in the late 80s or early 90s. Of all the rifles we had through the club they tended to be the heaviest but very well made and virtually maintenance free, in fact I can’t remember us ever being inside one
Many customising...
Thanks Dawn
I have saved the US Bradley link into my favourites.
I like the way Bradley have fronted their smokers, very professional. Building a community round their product is a great idea and brings after sales service to a new level. It also shows commitment to their costumers.
Well...
Living in the UK there is not much choice when it comes to big boys smokers, as I found out recently it is get a Bradley or bust. Couldn’t even find a company that would export other brands to the UK.
I am not unhappy with this situation, they look like good kit and all the small scale...
Agreed, big thanks to RickW for the thread, great memories of great days.
My first serious air gun was a .20 Sheridan with a Galway silencer; it had been doctored to reduce the power for the UK market, totally useless until it got reconverted and a good scope mounted, then it was a smashing...
Been out of the Air gun/field target seen for about 10 years so am not familiar with the Gamo Whisperer.
Back then the Spanish firm Gamo, or EL Gamlo had a name for producing gimmicky guns, some of which worked well and were reasonably reliable.
Don’t know about the fitted Silencer, I was...
Thanks Friends
Got my mind made up by where I live and the availability. Living in Scotland we don’t have much call for smokers and they are not readily available in the UK.
Most of the units are 110 volts, but as that voltage is used on building sites over here that was not a problem, plenty...
I am not overly impressed with the small off set charcoal burner that I have, to much hassle to run.
I am considering one of the smaller electric powered smokers such as the Brinkmann electric, Old Smokey electric or the Bradley Smokers.
Any helpful comments to send me in the right direction...
Welcome Rod, I see we have a few things in common. I live in Edinburgh & Wigtownshire; one of my forefathers was involved in the setting up of the Celtic and I hang about Loch Lomand most weekends.
I got my hands on an offset smoker about 6 weeks ago, MaKro were selling them for £50. Not many...
Reminds me of my early set up in my first house back in the 70’s. No need to be so technical, a big plastic bucket with a towel over the top is all you need.
With that froth working away, I can almost taste the brew over here.
