Ive just bought one of the TandoorIQ ones, superb, cant beat it 
The meat is just so moist, there is no way at all you can mimic a proper tandoor

This looks great and not too bad a price. Roughly how much charcoal would you expect  to use in kilos for a single cooking session for 2 or 3 skewers full of tikkas and perhaps a couple of naans? i.e. relatively small quantities during a brief cooking session.

How much charcoal is used to get the tandoor up to operating temperature?

Regards
George

I would say about 3-4KG to get up to temp and cook :)

It does look like a pretty dangerous kit to have about in the garden. Turn your back for a few minutes, next thing you know the next door neighbour's cat's missing! :o

Is that stainless stell it's enclosed in?

Heheheee i know the perfect place for the skewer as well  ;)

Yep, traditional clay oven, then stainless Steel and insulation between the two. Once youve had it up to heat, it takes about 2 days to cool down  :o

Its taken quite a few go's to get it right though, i have used it about 8 or 9 times now, learning each time i used it and have got it about right now :)

It takes about 1.5 - 2 hours to get to heat, but you can do a skewer of chicken in about 10 mins and it will take 12 skewers in one go with about a 40 minute window of optimum heat for cooking. I havent tried naans yet but i will be this weekend  ;D

As you can see from the pictures, it can lose charcoal from the door at the bottom (I knew i should have used it on my decking last weekend  ::) )

I cant praise this enough, i faffed around for ages trying to grill it, roast it etc etc and nothing comes close to how the meat comes out.

TandooIQ themselves were great,(i have nothing to do with them) delivery was quicker than stated, the packaging was great (massive heavy 30KGs hessian box) skewers, naan tools and some clay (complete with goat hair)  8)

The sides have been seasoned and laid on a wet base apparently and then shipped, when you get it you have to fill all the cracks in the bottom with the clay provided and leave for a couple of days, then do a couple of "pre burns" in it, and leave it to cool, then you are good to go :)

Looking forward to doing a whole chicken in it  ;D

Hey all, first post here :)

I use Le Creuset Pans. They are expensive, however, they are enamelled over cast iron and great for dispersing heat etc and very easy to clean etc. Only downside is the weight, but it does mean my other half cant use them and she aint allowed to use my global knives either  !!  ::)

Just my first two pennies worth  ;D
