<p>Chris Lilly is a very famous bbq name. He is more a tv host than a competitor but was one of the top guys for many years.</p>

<p>I love the American style wood fired pits, am going to try and buy a set of plans for one and get it built here</p>

<p>And for the 8 hours cooking it was only about 2kg of charcoal put in at start and that lasted the whole time and still some left at the end</p>

<p>I have the kamado joe and have had it for about 4 years now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It gets used year round, in winter about once a week and in summer a couple of times. I even use it just for steaks in the weekend. I also have a 5 burner gas which only used for quick stuff on week days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am lucky  that I work for a meat company so have access to a lot of different red meats at great prices so have a lot of good things to use.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We have done all the standard meats on ours, along with pizzas, bread, buns, cakes and even a pavlova. Took 2 goes to get the pav right.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is great for temp control and easy to get going and economical on the charcoal. Only real lump should be used on a ceramic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We did pulled pork yesterday, cooked it for 8 hours at about 150F and it was just superb, fall apart tender and very moist. Used, apple cheery & mesquite smoking chips at the start to get some additional smoke flavour imparted</p>

<p>Another change for 2016 is a change of gear sponsor with Kooga no longer the supplier. I don't know who will be but do know its not Canterbury</p>

Another good week for me last week am now down to 87.4 making a total loss so far of 17.9kgs<br />
<br />
Having to put away all my old clothes and pull out some of the stuff I bought 4 years ago when I got this small

Well my stall is over had a great week last week and have now lost 17kgs in 14 weeks, about 13 to go

I have semi stalled myself. Still losing but the rate has dropped right back . Still 15kgs in 13 weeks is enough to make me happy especially as the scales now start with an 8

13 weeks of fatbusting now gone and I have got over 15kgs off now back under 90kgs. Basically half way to my target.<br />
<br />
Got the exercise going a bit too and did a 10km walk last weekend

I started on Jan 1 so have been going 9 weeks<br />
<br />
Was 105.3 at the start and am now 92.8 a loss of 12.5 so far. Want to get off about 18 more

Week 9 of my fatbusting challenge has passed and I am now down to 92.8kgs a loss of 12.5 which I am happy with to this point as have not done a lot of exercise so far.<br />
<br />
But now the things have settled at home I can hopefully get stuck into exercise

Another pretty good week on Atkiins<br />
<br />
Dropped 1.1kgs and am now 93.7. So a total loss of 11.6 in 8 weeks

I started out at 105.3kgs, am now 94.8. My target is about 75kgs<br />
<br />
I am only 5'6" so was pretty overweight

Had a cracking week with the weightloss last week and dropped 2kgs, taking totaL loss to 10.5kgs in 7 weeks<br />
<br />
Very happy with the results so far

The last week for me has been better and now lost a total of 8.5kgs which i think is pretty good going for 6 weeks

Week 5 was a but slow for me but I find that happens on Atkins and had a slwo weekand only lost 200 grams, still 7.4kgs in 5 weeks is good and I expect that this week will be better.<br />
<br />
Have started to increase the exercise as well which should help.<br />
<br />
<br />
Read something interesting somewhere that said that it was healthier to be overweight and fit than skinny and unfit, so am going to be working on the fitness now as well as find it much easier to do after getting some kgs off

Well my 1st 4 weeks are over and the weight loss total is 7.2kgs.<br />
<br />
Helped by a weeks holiday last week at the beach and a lot of mountain biking through a forest. Though to counter that a bit, beer has been reintroduced to the range of liquid option but only in low-carb form

Well 2 weeks are gone and so have 4.5kgs which I am happy with as a start especially has have not got into the exercise yet

Bacon and eggs for me, or actually one egg and 2 rashers of bacon

Well week one of the new stoli is over and a fairly good result of 3.5kgs lost. 1st couple of weeks of Atkins usually brings big losses so was expected
