Marcus' books are awesome. Kebabs look great!
Thanks. I had never heard of him until I saw one of his recipes on a random Facebook recommendation. There are definitely plenty of recipes in the book that I’ll be trying. 
yes that’s the group that showed up on my feed. Usual setup was compromised by being at Mum's house, having to take my Weber, and it finally (it's 22 years old) giving up the ghost and the leg mounts falling off (welds rotted).
Decided to set up away from children in a quiet corner. Flower pot for base, set of old 968 wheels as a table. Extinguishers in shot are out of date.
The old thing still performed. These were reverse seared, with oak smoke.
And then blasted.
Succulence ensued.
Did some salmon too!

968 was mine, long gone sadly. Her summer ride is this, which technically is mine as she gave it to me a few years ago, but she bought it at a year old and it's led a pampered life ever since - still has less than 60k on the clock. We both love driving it - I take it out whenever I'm at hers and the weather is nice.
If you want real heat, ignore briquettes. Big K restaurant lumpwood.

This is the conclusion I have come to, it also seems to work well for longer/lower cooks, so whereas before I had a bag of lump wood charcoal for grilling and briquettes for smoking, I now just use Big K.Craikeybaby said:

From a few US forums, appear to be issues with the smokefire pellet grill, hence the searfire introduction.I guess as long as you go into it with eyes open, a decent discount.
Replacement Weber initiated with some halloumi and salmon today. Bought an Onlyfire ceramic deflector kit for indirect cooking: you can see the side plates in this photo. Nothing like as effective as a kamado, but with the top plate fitted could be a useful indirect and pizza tool.

Aye you cooking in a metal colander or is that some fancy dish that I might just have to buy for myself?
it's the poultry insert(I did not spend that much on mine, got lucky second hand)
With the cup removed it seemed an easy way to set up the chicken then pop it on once the coals were ready.
