Got one today, made lots of smoke, very little heat, what the hell is the point of them?
How much do you want for it?
I use a combo of tiger tims and real logs, hotter than a hot thing.
What about smoke? At the moment I'd swap it for a can of tennents
And whats a tiger Tim?
Where are you? If your'e reasonably close I'll give you 4 cans of Tennants as long as it's a steel/cast one.
Must be bad if you'd swap it for a can of cooking lager!.
What are you burning?
Shouldn't smoke too much once it gets going and should throw out much heat.
Green wood by any chance or not enough heat in the bed of ashes
no bed of ashes?
burning off some layer of something fro m the manufacturing process?
And whats a tiger Tim?
Go on Tim! (wimpy fist clench)
Cheers, will try a tiger Tim. Its a crappy tesco one.... Double up your vouchers and by some scrap.
We got one a few days ago. You do seem to need more than 'a few sticks' as advertised. And it works much better with compressed sawdust 'logs' rather than real wood. No smoke at all really. I put a bit of green wood on though and it smoked a bit more. However without wind the smoke does go straight up.
Biggest improvement we made was to put the patio umbrella up. Just to the side, so the smoke misses it but the radiant heat seems to get captured.
silly question but you didnt leave the lid on did you?!
Yeah, I did take the lid off. No such thing as a silly question, they're all valid 😀
