Demonstrations

During the summer, we went to a demonstration of cooking at our Rayburn supplier in Hastings.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with the smell of breakfast! Bacon eggs and toast were being offered around amongst a volley of chatter about Rayburns and their attributes.  Everyone was very friendly and experienced with these rarefied beasties.  All had advice to offer, from wood suppliers to which kettle to use.  They were happy to share their experiences with us - Rayburn Virgins!
One emphatic piece of advice was to fire the beast up sooner rather than later so that we could  "get used to it before winter set in"
After our first experience of lighting up in May, we were a little reluctant to stoke it up while it was still relatively warm. 
Fortunately, August Bank Holiday was approaching so we decided this would be a good time to experiment.
We sent out the invitations.
