That won't be a problem cos the gas won't be staying when we move, if ever. Need to check on the insurance aspect though. Even though it'd not be an installation, it could still get sticky

problem with an external source is that I need to get body corp approval and then an engineer / installer to sign it off. And then get one of those cages to house the gas canisters and and and... it'll definitely be an internal "in the cupboard" installation. I just need to know If I need to get a gas installer to just hook up a single pipe, cos that's piss easy.

sweet. Decision made then. When the money arrives, that is.

As much as I cook, I don't bake that much. Yet. But even then I don't see myself pumping out cupcakes every weekend Pricing is the same, full gas has a 6 burner hob, and gas/leccie has a 5 burner hob. Major thing is that I want to be able to cook no matter what... I guess that makes my mind up for me then... Oh, and we'll be getting 2 gas bottles. 2x9kg. Anyone know the regulations regarding a standalone (non permanent) gas installation with a 9kg bottle? Same as if I was using a gas heater?

yeah it was...

what did you think? I liked it...

is it really that much faster? How different is it to cook with, and what is the min temp? EDIT: I see - 50 & 275. Same as the electric ones. Frankie - how long does a bottle last on the full gas option, cooking every night?

Just watched inside out Brilliant. Simply brilliant

Already done that in our proposal back in April / May. As you say, it's worth a try. At the moment though, we are at their mercy.

I suggest you direct that question to Rob Vogel

Haha! Awesome. The thing is, I'm the one doing the cooking, and I have to use it. I do cook at low temp every so often, but the big question I suppose is which is more economical ito oven cooking... gas or leccie?

Agreed fully 're cloud atlas

Just checked out the range at tafelberg furnishers. Something I never noticed before is that even though other manufacturers put out a good product at a lower price than smeg, the difference in finish is substantial. Looks like I'm in for a bit more cash than I had hoped... Truthfully though, I did WANT a smeg....

OIkay, people in the know - It's time to buy a gas stove, and the question is... Full gas, or gas hob & leccie oven? I won't settle for an oven without a thermofan, and I like cooking at low temps sometimes. Any issues with full gas?

I know.... But you have to admit, they're pretty hard to ignore.

I need to watch that. Movies I've seen twice at the cinema - South Park (the original) That's it.

what's wrong with that? It's every (big) kid's dream

You're forgiven - it's a damn sexy bike!

Sure he meant the Darksides...

extra super secret training, bro! Plus, here it's only 1m

Awesome! I'm going to try and hit that loop as often as possible when it opens up again. And yeah. It was a bit of a slog to the mast. That climb to the tar was good though. Pretty technical in places after the rain slapped it to shreds a few times.

yeah, it really is...

I'll let Deon answer that. I wasn't at the meeting yesterday, unfortunately

It's one HELLUVA loop, that's for sure. Taxing, yet rewarding. I'd rate it above the mast climb ito difficulty for sure. Mast is just a long slog on tar.

HD is boggy as hell on the ups. Well, it was for me at least. Nobby Nic could be an option as well, but I haven't tried the new one. It's supposed to be a grippier, better rolling HD, so it could match the aggressive front you have. Ardent is also a very good option, and I don't think you can get the Vigi locally in 26". Ibex Citius is a brilliant rear tyre - fast rolling, and grippy when you need it to be (had it on my hardtail up until recently, and it performed beautifully at Coetzenburg - which has a variety of different trail conditions, wet, dry, slippery & hard packed - and other places) Another option is the WTB Wolverine - VERY good rear tyre, but tends to wear pretty quickly (well, it did when I had some, and a couple of mates have had the same experience) One that you haven't mentioned is the Schwalbe Rock Razor - same side knobs as the Magic Mary, but small middle knobs. Very low Rolling Resistance, but grips like stink when you lean it over. Only thing is that it doesn't have as much grip as the other tyres do in a straight line braking situation, or over slippery roots when climbing, but that's easily overcome in most situations (it served me well in Tokai in winter, and I can't climb to save my life) All of those are good options. I'd also keep the Minion for when your HD wears out.
