no but that wasn’t the question
Probably the wire has caught when swiveling between hot & cold, so wire broken but hanging together a bit of the insulation so the wires sometimes touch.
I bought a Ninja woodfire electric BBQ for the van and kept it in the shed for a year before I dragged it out to put in the van. My ears are still ringing from Mr Gina M's reaction when it saw it "OMG, it's too big, too heavy and will blow every EHU bollard we plug it in" So I am just under 300 quid down and too late to return it. When I saw yours I thought I want one but I have to sell Ninja first, it's back in the gadget graveyard shedno but that wasn’t the question
The Nomad was a birthday present to me when we were working and quite flush.
Also, look at that steak it cooked
Also, note this is a no cadac thread so no backchat and no digression into the BBQ wars
This Nomad thing is heavy though. 22kg if I remember correctly. There was something to be said for our little Lotus grill! Have you tried the Ninja at home? I’m curious about how smoky it is.I bought a Ninja woodfire electric BBQ for the van and kept it in the shed for a year before I dragged it out to put in the van.

I am waiting for a good weather weekend as I really want to smoke my own fish and meat, that's what sold it to me, along with the roasting, slow cooker, grilling, air fryer, baking and dehydrating it can do. It won't make me a cup of tea though
Superb advice.
You could put a kettle on it…I am waiting for a good weather weekend as I really want to smoke my own fish and meat, that's what sold it to me, along with the roasting, slow cooker, grilling, air fryer, baking and dehydrating it can do. It won't make me a cup of tea though
Sorry, my fault! BBQ chat over!Good job it hasn't turned into a bbq thread....
Cheers
Yep and it weighs just a few kilos.
Jane, just a thought - do you have airbags in the van? I always used to put my feet up on the dashboard of our van until I saw a video of a crash test dummy after the airbag went off - not a pretty sight!Coddiwompling day 18:
As we left Camping Drymak (remember that name reader) Jane grimaced at her phone. Apple had issued a storm warning along our route. We decided to try and time the trip to get the storm on the road rather than parked up. That did not happen.
Just out of town we spotted a small wooden church and decided to double back and have a closer look. To turn around was the road to Jaśliska; a little market town (market day tomorrow unfortunately) that had a great shop. We stocked up with essentials and some non-essentials (honey). A lorry driver helped us translate some of the more esoteric salads and how we should weigh and package fruit.

Collar and cuffs.
Sadly the church wasn’t easy to access and with the temperature hitting 30C we couldn’t leave Flynn alone in the van for too long - he’d just drive it to the nearest lake.
We were heading towards Ustrzyki Górne (‘Upper Ustrzyki’) in the Bieszczady National park. As we entered the park we saw a car park full of obvious sightseers so we pulled in and tried to speak to the parking attendant to get a place.
“DO! YOU! SPEAK! ENGLISH?”
“Yes” he replied with an English accent.
“Oh! you have an English accent!”
“Yes, I’ve spent some years in England, first Birmingham and then South London…”
“Oh, I can see why you prefer it here…”
“…I have studied the patterns of the English dialect and grammar, I much prefer British English to your colonial brethren since they have no accepted ‘correct’ accent. Whereas with British English I can focus on Received Pronunciation. It’s quintessentially… but I digress, forgive my dalliance. I fear that it may be an imposition to ensconce your motor conveyance. The parking allotment at this divertissement does not allow for such excessive length. Happenstance you could endeavour to pull alongside yonder small hillock”.
His accent was more south london that RP but it was massively impressive. The best English I’ve heard from a car park attendant ever. Including England.
The touristing turned out to be a narrow gauge railway previously used to haul logs out of the mountains, now used to haul tourists into them. The round trip was two hours so not for us. Nice little trains though.

Diesel 10Lunch was at a picnic spot just off the road. Nothing special but it had a viewing tower where I took this photo showing the storm clouds coming over.

Thor arrives.
We stopped at Polen Namiatowe Camp (///crinkles.remove.jaws) the pitches are tight but it’s really well located for town - which we’ll need because at 13:00 the Polish government sent this:

Between rain, I took Flynn to the river to swim and scouted the first leg of tomorrow’s walk.

Roughly: path does not exist
Some replanning needed…
We’re actually very close to Ukraine and one of the guidebooks recommends you take your passport when walking in the mountains. I suspect we still have residency Visas in them.
The rain continued so after Flynn had had another walk (he doesn’t care about rain) we went down the road to the restaurant closest-and-most-likely-to-take-cards. The food was good but the service could give a good kicking to “just so you know it’s small plates and the kitchen serves everything when it’s ready”. The Mountain pie with mutton was huge but it arrived so long before the mountain trout that I’d eaten the pie and ordered another round before Jane caught sight of her fish. Luckily we kept the “Polish lard with bread” starter to tide her over. We kept it so much, well over 75% of this is sitting in our fridge right now.

It was good though. The fish was a little over but all good, especially the super local beer. Oh, and nobody drinks wine in Poland so it’s all warm.

A bottle of important beer earlier today.
Codiwomple rating: Trains! Towers! Fruit! Rain! Expect a good day with showery intervals.
Ankle update: an exciting day for the trotter watchers amongst you. Today sees us a full 14 days since fracture-zero so, despite yesterday’s threatened set back we’ve moving on to the NHS’s advanced side to side rehab.
