I got one of those blow torches, I have put a MAPP gas on mine and it lights the BBQ really well hahaha.

They are bloody expensive but good quality, mine was free.

you lucky fella.........I paid top dollar for mine.  But for the torch I have I don't mind a bit. Best money I've spent on bio stuff.

My superfire2 had issues a month or so ago. 

I looked up the cost of a new one...

...and then made sure i fixed my existing one!

(it now lives indoors too, rather than in the damp shed!)

Tidy, used to love carboot sales, haven't been to one for years probably. Soon as I get a bit of bio made, I'll have to try and get to some good ones.

RM, I see one just outside Worcester the other morning, I'm sure it was before the last roundabout onto the M5. It looked huge. Do you know it? Is it worth the trip?
Could do that one, then call back by Leominster, just for a day out.

The Ketch, magic.
I know Bromyard quite well. Hauled straw from there, and Bredenbury. Did a fair bit on the water board there too.

If I get down there I'll give you a shout. I'll chuck you some bio, if it comes out the reactor looking any good.........

Thats the one, I just googled it. I was on the way down to Santa pod a few weeks back. About 6am and i could see buy the queues it was big.

Used to go to a boot sale every weekend, before we moved.

It was called "lazy bones" as it did not start till 10:30am - which was nice.

Used to get the oil from the chip vans there too : )


Where we are now, the best boot sale is exeter - but its an early one, exeter is 45mins away, and i have enough of pre-7am i the week.

Cheers RM, but I think I will be OK. It is warm enough that some of the thicker stuff should be useable now. I'll have a scratch around and see what I've got, but I'm sure I will find a bit more if I get into the middle of the stack. I'll just run it through some filter bags.
