Weekend Plans
- Thread starter Ikoda
- Start date
I just picked this one up. Haven't had a charcoal grill in years. It's delicious, just takes 10x longer than gas. Def want to get my heat control better and smoke a brisket and some ribs. Love to see your paella setup!
Sounds really similar to what I have to do for a long bbq. How long does it take to cook paella? Few hours?
Fyi - i had to download a file compressor to post anything to this site, there's a 300k limit on pics.

It only takes 40 mins give or take. I use that can which you have in picture and get them white hot and also add a bag of lump wood charcoal ( the ones where you burn the bag) and that should be enough. First time round I didn’t know what to expect cooking time As a friend tried before and it took ages. But if you get the heat right you should have no problem.
Sounds awesome! Heat control with charcoal is difficult for me. Just means I need to practice more

Great weekend - been a while since we had an almost child-free weekend ?
Friday dropped the baby off, met a couple at an Italian for birthday meal then headed around town. Town is strange at the minute, we are meant to be in a stricter lockdown so it's no table no entry in most places. We booked 4 places, the friend I was with knows all the bar owners through work and we were fairly looked after. Ended up in the only club open, rough dive but we had fun - people dancing.
Saturday... Slept in until 12pm, yes dinner time???
Picked lad up, played for an hour whilst dropping him off at second sleepover.
Met 2 other couples in a village pub for a pre drink (topping up at this point tbh) then headed to our first/only festival of 2020 to watch Solardo in the grounds of a country estate.
Mini bus over highlights how times have changed, one of the girls on her first night out since having a new baby had to express a little on the way over. The tight security check caused a laugh when the pump came out!
The Gisburne Park pop up festival was brilliant, I was dubious beforehand but the setting was good, the music and volume was very good, we had a hexagon around 3mx3m with 6 chairs, little table and umbrella. Felt like you had a good space but there was good atmosphere, with everyone up and dancing. For a northern monkey £120 for a bottle of 70cl vodka was steep, no choice but to buy them though - had 3 between us ?
Finished at 10:30pm then had a kitchen party until 5am with a little more vodka. Great time, seen a few photos were you could incorrectly use the F. A. S. T assessment on me to identify a stroke ??

Was 5 peroni for £20 other week when I went. Seemed fair enough compared to the pint of piss for a 5er you usually get at places like that!

went to Sonny Fodera, not really mything tbh but him music aside we had a really good night. It was my first outing with live music since the stereophonics in March so it was just good to be out with friends and music playing!
We all ended up pretty mangled tbf! Had a right good booze in the sound bar in Skipton prior to going there.
good night had by all ?

People can slate these social distanced events all they want (see comments on social media posts) but after going to one i can confirm they are class. Maybe not so much those ones in Manc where your literally on a picnic table but ones where you have your own pod im all for that for the time being✌
