We must know more of these home made pittas too please.
Thanks, I posted about the pittas over on the pizza oven thread, but here's the recipe I followed.We must know more of these home made pittas too please.
^^That recipe made about 15 pittas, so reduce the quantities. I froze the surplus dough balls.

Our BBQ kitchen started taking shape last week (builders are back to put the roof and some walls in later this week)
BBQ wise, sat night was chicken thighs and smash burgers. yesterday was sausages for lunch
Oh very nice. Can't wait to see the finished article. Would love an outdoor BBQ kitchen type thing although I've settled for a gazebo and patio which has just been installed.BBQ wise, sat night was chicken thighs and smash burgers. yesterday was sausages for lunch
Dug out the base
New flags etc
Only got room for table and chairs plus my gas BBQ and a little kitchen island on wheels thing. It's great for storing and prepping with it's aluminum top and being on wheels, I can move it to the garage in the autumn. Being under the gazebo means I can keep the BBQ and console unit outdoors all summer.
Had a little party last weekend plus a couple of uses during this week too so will get plenty of use during the summer.
Size wise it’s 7.2 x 3.6m with the kitchen area being about 2.5m deep

Looks fantastic. Do you have a photo showing the whole gazebo please?
A bit dark now, will take one tomorrow. It's an out sunny 3mx3m with polycarbonate roof. Not expensive and it's been through 3 winters, 60mph winds and no damage.Bought it from Amazon. Not the most fun thing to build but not too difficult

Even on a windy day will that stand firm with walls down if it's sitting just on my lawn with the pegs hammered into the ground?

Hmmmmmm, yes that's suddenly got me thinking.......

Didn’t really want to say but we had a similar Amazon one…. Ours was hexagonal with fences on four sides… brown canvas. We weighed it down with those weight bags… some full of sand, others full of water. We used ours over a hot tub! Even on a windy day will that stand firm with walls down if it's sitting just on my lawn with the pegs hammered into the ground?
After a storm the bottom of the posts remained but the rest ended up three or four doors down the street!

3 winters and some big storms, no problems but you need to keep an eye on weather.
Anything over 30mph I pull the curtains in tight and tie them up with garden wire.
The weak point storm wise is the feet. While I've bolted into concrete, the feet are a separate part, and slide into the posts and 3 screws fasten the feet to the posts. Would be better if they were all one welded part, as the 12 screws are the only thing anchoring the gazebo to the ground.
It's had 60mph winds ok but not sure what the limit would be.
Weather's finally picked up here and my elderly big BBQ is in a right sorry state. Needs a really good clean and I just can't be arsed so as a stop gap picked up a mini ceramic egg.
Big enough for when it's just me and the Mrs so looking forward to trying it out, just doing a curing now so hopefully BBQ for dinner.
£79 down from £159 so reasonable value and way better quality than anything else at the £80 mark. It's from the Range (I'll head over to the council thread next) but seems good enough for our needs.
