It takes awhile to get going and when it finally dose I end up burning myself, however the men in our group have no problems. do you line the inside with anything (sand/soil)or do you just put the charcoal straight into it and do you use much charcoal.<br> <br> yours Bricca <p></p><i></i> Re: Legio IX\'s new brazier - venicone - 07-18-2003 hiya<br> <br> thats almost the same as our version of the pompeii cooker- apart from the length of the legs - and our version has been made approx 1/3 smaller than the original dimensions.<br> <br> Its used at virtually every event we do and all our roman food is cooked on it.<br> We have a folding 'frying pan' as seen here - there are two saucepans which fit in the 'holder's on the cooker .<br> <br> As you can see here it can be used to barbeque food too by adjusting the metal sliding rods<br> <br> We dont use sand etc Bricca - and we use lumpwood charcoal or wood as fuel<br> <br> <br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/cooker.jpg" style="border:0;"/><br> <p><br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/co.gif"/><br> <br> <span style="color:red;"><strong>[url=http://pub55.ezboard.com/btalkinghistory" target="top]Talking History Forum[/url]</strong></span></p><i></i> Re: Legio IX\'s new brazier - scythius - 07-20-2003 Avete, omnes!<br> <br> Venicone - I really like the small brazier...<br> <br> Since we've got a large brazier, and you folks have a smaller one - we could call yours <em>'Brazier Minor'</em> - oh, wait...I think that's where Cappodocia is...<br> <br> Sorry.<br> <br> Scythius <p>LEG IX HSPA - COH III EXPG - CEN I HIB<br> <br> Hipsters, Flipsters, and Finger-Poppin' Daddies, Knock me your lobes!<br> I came here to lay Caesar out, Not to hip you to him.<br> The bad jazz that a cat blows, Wails long after he's cut out.<br> The groovy, is often stashed with their frames, So don't put Caesar down........'<br> </p><i></i> Re: Legio IX\'s new brazier - venicone - 07-21-2003 what have you cooked on it? <p><br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/co.gif"/><br> <br> <span style="color:red;"><strong>[url=http://pub55.ezboard.com/btalkinghistory" target="top]Talking History Forum[/url]</strong></span></p><i></i> Re: Legio IX\'s new brazier - scythius - 07-21-2003 Avete, omnes!<br> <br> So far, we've cooked a variety of things - the crowd favorites have been the pork and apple stew and the half chickens...<br> <br> The brazier was so popular that it was used nearly 24 hours a day during our last event - either by the folks cooking or late into the night for comfort whilst talking into the wee hours.<br> <br> Scythius <p>LEG IX HSPA - COH III EXPG - CEN I HIB<br> <br> Hipsters, Flipsters, and Finger-Poppin' Daddies, Knock me your lobes!<br> I came here to lay Caesar out, Not to hip you to him.<br> The bad jazz that a cat blows, Wails long after he's cut out.<br> The groovy, is often stashed with their frames, So don't put Caesar down........'<br> </p><i></i> Brazier - Anonymous - 09-16-2003 Very nice!<br> <br> We were recently at Birdoswald with the VIII, when Fronto of the XIIII gave a similar brazier to the Chester boys and we christened it together. It was very useful - we used it for 2 days but weren't very adventurous I'm afraid. We had not really come prepared for great Apicius culinary extravaganzas - made some basic casseroles though to keep body & soul together till evening.<br> <br> I would like to ask you though what is the reference for the archaeological find itself from Pompeii, as I have seen line drawings in a few books but not been able to find the actual reports. We would like to make one as a winter project, but would rather have the original report for providence before we do.<br> <br> Thanks<br> <br> Claudia (yet another) Crisis<br> <br> <p></p><i></i> brazier - Anonymous - 09-16-2003 Avete<br> <br> can I also ask what fuel you used on your brazier. On the photos the pieces looked rather large - more like coal than charcoal.<br> We used charcoal at Birdoswald, but found that it burned out very quickly, so coal would give a more prolonged heat, although taking longer to get up to temperature.<br> <br> Claudia <p></p><i></i> |
