Re: Lovin' it...White wash.

Not a good day for photo's or white wash to dry! This is about 1/4 of the area I did. The good thing about it (apart from the clean up) Is that it looks like it's not freshly done. Just Clean. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-N9sH0tLoqYo/T8tFn7Wb0oI/AAAAAAAAIVo/VDG9cp-Pedk/s511/P020612_09.51.jpg h...

Ugly cooker - Lightest possible.

I've been thinking about making or buying a lightweight stove for several reasons. Yesterday I went to look at some and decided that I don't want to pay the price being asked for commercial items.

Lovin' it...White wash.

I've never used it before today and If found I love it.

Any on else used it?

I must admit it's an improved formulation but it's so nice to use. Much better (In most ways) than modern paint.

Pictures to follow. :)

Re: BBQ

Yes lighting a fire can be a pain and can take some looking after. Last year whilst I was in between BBQ's I was using the instant light bags. This year I've found out about the upside down fire starting method and I've had good results. Easy to build with minimum effort and input. I used it for the...

Re: BBQ

Forgot to add something to the cost. Hammer rash on my thumb and a bruised and swollen fut due to it cushioning the fall of a brick.

It was too warm for boots and it was a barefoot day for me. :?

Re: Inspiration.

Good build. I've followed it on pintrest.
The corny kegs area great. You can fit 2 side by side in a fridge disposing of the need for a flash chiller.
