I did my first cook two days ago using mixture of gum, vine and apricot, used chicken and the result was amazing. Roast chook WOW!!!!! then what was left I made into a curry added heaps of flavor to the curry, Mrs wants more

I got onto a website and they describe using all sorts of timbers, apple, cherry, apricot, peach, mallee you name it all can be used only keep away from treated wood or sprayed...will be interesting to see how it all pans outthanks again for the help

Hi..I been observing and reading this site for awhile now and I think its GREAT ...your a great bunch who love what you do...I enjoy fishing immensely. I am a novice to ocean fishing, bought Brooker 4.5, 30 HP Mariner to push it along and the fun I have had and the fish I have caught...WOW..should have started years ago.I need help with the following and hope someone will be able to answer my ?I want to target Sharks come warmer weather..but don't know correct way to kill and prepare fish so as ammonium won't spread thru' the fish and spoil for eating. Any help would be great.Any tips on how to prepare fillets for eating?I hope my lines are tight this Summer and yours too.

Hullo to Ugly4LifeJust wanted to intro myself after our conversation last week at the shop. Thanks for your help and I owe U a brew. I still have had no luck in the Port channels, it has to pay off sometime. . I will be waiting to get some action on the seas when weather and fish get happening again.I get absolute enjoyment from being on the water.CarstensSee U at the shop soon
