Tomshoo Gasifier Lamb Chops | My Magic Roundabouts Been Decimated

[00:00:04][snorts] >> Hello my friends.

[00:00:17]And welcome to RTA TV.

[00:00:20]I've come to the magic roundabout.

[00:00:23]And there has been some work done here.

[00:00:29]Don't know when.

[00:00:31]Don't know why.

[00:00:34]Maybe it's the ash dieback thing. I don't know.

[00:00:36]But it looks like >> [sighs] >> they've smashed up the uh that little shelter that that little enclosure that was built here.

[00:00:45]Just going to have a look.

[00:00:47]Oh, yeah.

[00:00:49]Should have brought me pole.

[00:00:54]Yeah, what have they done?

[00:00:58]Smashed it up.

[00:01:00]And I've got to say they've cut a swathe through here.

[00:01:04]Look, you can see where lorries have been.

[00:01:08]I'll go back that way.

[00:01:11]>> [cough and clears throat] >> Yes, they've properly been in here and done a job, haven't they?

[00:01:21]Oh, well.

[00:01:21]>> [sighs] >> Yeah.

[00:01:26]Lots of work done.

[00:01:28]Want to follow this swathe that they cut for a bit see how far they've actually gone.

[00:01:38]Well, the magic roundabout is a little less magic, really.

[00:01:48]Mhm.

[00:01:50]Oh, well.

[00:01:51]>> [sighs] >> Wonder when this was done. I haven't been here for a while, so I don't really know.

[00:01:58]Might have been a couple of months ago cuz all the leaves they're on the trees that they've chopped down are dried up, so Oh, well.

[00:02:07]>> [sighs] >> I fancy some lamb chops.

[00:02:13]So, this is one of those days when I didn't have a plan at all.

[00:02:19]Plan?

[00:02:21]There ain't no plan.

[00:02:23]So, I just thought I went into Asda to the reduced section, bought myself some lamb chops.

[00:02:28]I think it was lamb chops.

[00:02:31]I bought me little um gasifier wood gasifier stove, uh well.

[00:02:36]I think there's plenty of wood to use, so uh Let's find a likely little spot.

[00:02:44]And hope no one comes along.

[00:02:47]Maybe my magic roundabout is a thing of the past.

[00:02:53]Oh, well.

[00:02:55]Lovely day, though. Beautiful day.

[00:02:58]Blue skies all around.

[00:03:02]Here we are, look. The old Tom Shoe.

[00:03:05]>> [cough and clears throat] >> Excuse me.

[00:03:08]Yes, Tom Shoe. It was written on there somewhere. Oh, there it is.

[00:03:13]Tom Shoe. Whoever Tom Shoe is.

[00:03:17]But yeah, wood gasifier. What have I got here?

[00:03:21]Some lovely uh lamb leg chops.

[00:03:28]So, you look say there's plenty of wood around.

[00:03:32]I'll go and grab a bit of wood. We'll get this thing loaded up.

[00:03:36]Get cooking.

[00:03:37]>> [sighs] >> It's nice and dry, anyway.

[00:03:47]Breaks easy. Break it all up quite small.

[00:03:51]Cuz this gasifier likes it small.

[00:03:53]Just let me go out get some bigger bigger bits.

[00:03:58]I've got a really old Look at this.

[00:03:59]Really old uh thing. I'm going to put one in the bottom.

[00:04:03]And I will put some bits in.

[00:04:09]Upright's always good, it reckons for these. And I did do a video once about how to load one of these up.

[00:04:19]So, >> [sighs and gasps] >> and you light it from the top.

[00:04:27]Light it from the top of it.

[00:04:29]And it burns downwards.

[00:04:33]So, that's what we're going to try and do. See what happens with that, eh?

[00:04:53]So, I'll put some of the smaller stuff on top.

[00:05:03]>> [clears throat] >> Hopefully, all will be well.

[00:05:15]Going to put the old firelighter in there.

[00:05:20]So, I've cleared a good area around where the wood stove's going to be.

[00:05:26]And the ground underneath all this leafage.

[00:05:29]And the leaves, they're still wet.

[00:05:31]Wasn't long ago we had a load of rain.

[00:05:34]So, let's get this blazed up.

[00:05:41]>> [cough and clears throat] >> So, that's what you do. You load it from the top.

[00:05:55]Hopefully, it will catch that wood on fire that's underneath it all.

[00:06:03]We hope and we pray.

[00:06:07]So, I didn't bring any kindling with me.

[00:06:14]I'm going to get a kettle on.

[00:06:16]So, hopefully, it'll be okay. This kettle will probably give off give off a bit of smoke, won't it? I don't know.

[00:06:25]Even though it's a smokeless stove.

[00:06:28]Oh, dear.

[00:06:38]Get some of the smaller stuff going in there on the top.

[00:06:50]Oh.

[00:06:54]Yeah, just one of those days. I didn't know quite what to do.

[00:06:59]And I haven't used Look, see, I haven't used me gasifier for ages and ages. And I haven't been to the roundabout for ages, you know. I mean, look at the place.

[00:07:07]They've absolutely decimated it.

[00:07:11]Oh.

[00:07:11]>> [sighs] >> Oh, well.

[00:07:14]Everything changes in time, don't it?

[00:07:16]Hey.

[00:07:19]All right. Okay, we've got the kettle boiling.

[00:07:22]What I'm going to do, I'm going to get that oil on straight away, I think.

[00:07:28]>> [snorts] >> Here we go.

[00:07:33]Put it around that way.

[00:07:37]>> [sighs] >> Get me uh >> [snorts] >> Get me fork out.

[00:07:48]>> [snorts] >> I think I'm going to get those lamb steaks on as soon as possible.

[00:07:55]So, first things first, stir coffee.

[00:08:02]There we go.

[00:08:05]Get the lamb chops.

[00:08:08]I'll cut them open.

[00:08:10]>> [snorts] >> Quickly as possible.

[00:08:21]Nice sizzle there.

[00:08:26]This is uh I'll get both down while I can.

[00:08:34]I don't think this is going to take long.

[00:08:37]Glad to say.

[00:08:39]Cuz this wood is still a bit damp.

[00:08:43]Took a while for it to get going, but I think it's going now. It's starting to gasify.

[00:08:48]Which is a good thing.

[00:08:50]So, leave that to do its thing there.

[00:08:54]And have a sip of coffee here.

[00:09:13]Lovely.

[00:09:18]Put a bit more wood in there, I think.

[00:09:37]It's supposed to get really hot next few days.

[00:09:42]That'll be okay.

[00:09:46]It's the um smokeless wood gasifier.

[00:09:57]Jesus.

[00:10:00]Yeah, um I think tomorrow's Armed Forces Day.

[00:10:05]I'm actually playing down on uh Southsea Bandstand tomorrow, so once I finish playing, I'm I'm playing from 12:00 to 12:30, so once I'm done, I'll go around, film a bit, parachute jump, I think. I think I filmed it last year as well, Armed Forces Day.

[00:10:26]So, I'll film it again for posterity.

[00:10:30]Oh, yeah.

[00:10:43]Yeah, it's getting done.

[00:10:45]It's getting done.

[00:10:48]Yeah, Armed Forces Day, so yeah, I think there's a parachute jump. Last Last year I also filmed the film field gun run.

[00:10:57]And the actual team did message me asking me if I they could use the footage from that last year.

[00:11:04]So, yeah.

[00:11:06]>> [sighs] >> It's always a good day down there.

[00:11:15]>> [sighs] >> All the wood's going good now, glad to say.

[00:11:21]See it there?

[00:11:22]Oh.

[00:11:23]Yeah.

[00:11:25]That's uh going great guns, as they say.

[00:11:30]Oh.

[00:11:31]>> [sighs] >> Smoky, though.

[00:11:35]It's probably cuz the wood is still a bit damp.

[00:11:38]Wasn't easy to get going.

[00:11:42]It's going now.

[00:11:50]Let's turn these over.

[00:11:51]Oh, yeah.

[00:11:53]There we go, look.

[00:11:55]Perfect.

[00:12:00]That is perfection.

[00:12:04]Look at that gasifying now. Look at that, look.

[00:12:07]Let me bring you up.

[00:12:09]Show you down there. See it gasifying around the sides.

[00:12:13]That's good.

[00:12:16]Lovely.

[00:12:25]Nearly done, I think.

[00:12:29]Glad to say.

[00:12:33]Ooh, yeah.

[00:12:36]Oh, yeah.

[00:12:39]One more bit on this side.

[00:12:42]Oh, yeah.

[00:12:47]That's done extremely well.

[00:12:53]All right.

[00:12:55]Time for another sip of coffee. Get the plate out. I remembered it this week.

[00:13:00]All right.

[00:13:02]I think that's just about right.

[00:13:05]Just died down the fire.

[00:13:10]Perfect timing.

[00:13:12]Oh, look at that.

[00:13:19]It's going to It's going to be so nice.

[00:13:24]Let's uh look.

[00:13:27]Yeah, beautiful.

[00:13:30]Lamb chops.

[00:13:33]Where's me old Victorinox?

[00:13:37]There you go, look.

[00:13:39]Just put that on the plate.

[00:13:42]And that's when it's burnt out.

[00:13:44]So, I'll just let that burn down to ash now, which it usually does with the wood gasifier.

[00:13:51]>> [snorts] >> So, let's consume this lovely these lovely chops.

[00:13:59]All right.

[00:14:00]Let's try a bit of this.

[00:14:13]Mhm.

[00:14:21]I do like lamb. I don't have it very often.

[00:14:25]A bit of mint sauce would have been nice.

[00:14:28]Or maybe some brown sauce even.

[00:14:33]But au naturel.

[00:14:41]Beautiful.

[00:14:44]Mhm.

[00:14:48]That's absolutely lovely, that is.

[00:14:52]There's some marrow in the bone there.

[00:14:56]Mhm.

[00:14:57]Oh.

[00:15:01]Yeah.

[00:15:03]You know what time it is.

[00:15:05]>> [clears throat] >> It's time for me to eat that lovely bit of lamb chop.

[00:15:13]Mhm.

[00:15:30]>> Make a ring out of that, couldn't you?

[00:15:35]I'll duck the marrow out of it.

[00:15:37]Mhm.

[00:15:43]Get the marrow out of this other bit.

[00:15:54]Cool.

[00:16:01]Lovely.

[00:16:09]That's was it? Get the the thumbs up award from me.

[00:16:16]Mhm.

[00:16:20]I'll give those bones to the critters.

[00:16:25]Absolutely lovely jubbly, as they say.

[00:16:30]As Del Boy would say, Del Boy Trotter.

[00:16:36]I can't remember when it was I last came here.

[00:16:40]Um hang on.

[00:16:41]I'll have a look back on my videos.

[00:16:47]Whatever one it is, I'll put I'll put a thing up there to it.

[00:16:52]So you can have a look, but it's yeah.

[00:16:56]I don't know.

[00:16:58]Hopefully that's all they're doing here.

[00:17:01]I will come back here again soon.

[00:17:05]See if they See if they've done any more to it.

[00:17:12]But I hope they don't.

[00:17:17]Right.

[00:17:18]Let's see how this gasifier is doing.

[00:17:24]All right. Let's have this cool down a little bit.

[00:17:28]So Just get hot through the gloves if you hold on to it for too long.

[00:17:43]>> [clears throat] >> I'm going to get some water on that.

[00:17:47]Obviously.

[00:17:49]Yeah, I'm going to get down a little bit Here we go.

[00:18:05]I'm going to pour all this water on it.

[00:18:11]All around.

[00:18:19]I think that'll do it, don't you?

[00:18:25]There you go.

[00:18:29]Yeah, stone cold.

[00:18:32]Excellent.

[00:18:35]Excellente.

[00:18:36]>> [sighs and gasps] >> Very sweaty today.

[00:18:45]A blooming time, I'd say, for the sun to make an appearance.

[00:18:50]It comes out for a week, didn't it?

[00:18:54]About 3 weeks ago.

[00:18:56]And then boom, gone again.

[00:18:58]Back to winter.

[00:19:01]But could this be Could this be the summer time starting?

[00:19:07]Who knows? Don't know with the British weather, do you?

[00:19:16]>> [sighs] >> Yeah.

[00:19:22]I don't think that stove will take too long to cool down. No, it doesn't normally.

[00:19:27]Once you get the fire the embers out of it, it's pretty quick.

[00:19:38]Is coffee gone?

[00:19:40]So, I'm going to start putting things away.

[00:19:43]I think by the time I've got everything put away, it's all going to that stove will be cooled down.

[00:19:48]So, I will leave that till last.

[00:19:52]I did bring my stool with me, but you know, nice convenient log.

[00:19:57]Make Make the most of nature.

[00:20:00]What nature provides.

[00:20:03]That's what I say.

[00:20:06]Just check if it's cool.

[00:20:11]Yeah, it's cool enough.

[00:20:14]Yeah.

[00:20:17]If I can do that, then it's definitely cool enough, isn't it?

[00:20:22]So, let's get that put away.

[00:20:26]Do you like this stove? It's like a jigsaw puzzle getting it back together again putting it all away.

[00:20:33]Almost.

[00:20:34]Think I'm getting used to it now.

[00:20:37]But, I'm trying to think when the first video I ever used this thing was.

[00:20:44]That's useful, too.

[00:20:48]Um Can't think when it was I actually first used used it.

[00:20:55]I know I bought it beginning of lockdown.

[00:20:58]I tested it in the garden, but I never filmed it.

[00:21:02]Stupid, really. I could have filmed that being tested, couldn't I?

[00:21:06]Uh but it is a marvelous thing.

[00:21:13]Very versatile.

[00:21:15]I've done videos where I've used various fuels in it, gel blocks, Trangia spirit burner.

[00:21:24]>> [cough and clears throat] >> But yeah, it is a great thing.

[00:21:27]Tom Shoo wood gasifier.

[00:21:32]So there you go. Look.

[00:21:35]Just make sure smash it all down.

[00:21:39]Yeah, that's out.

[00:21:41]And then I'll just bury it all again.

[00:21:47]And that's it.

[00:21:49]What a lovely cookout that was at the decimated magic roundabout.

[00:21:57]So there you go, my friends. Another like I say very nice cookout. Didn't know if that was going to get going actually. It was quite difficult cuz I think the wood was still a little bit wet.

[00:22:09]But we persevered and we got there in the end.

[00:22:14]>> [snorts] >> And lovely lamb chops, too.

[00:22:17]So yeah, on that note, I will hit the road.

[00:22:21]If you like the video, you know what to do.

[00:22:23]Come on, dirty thumb.

[00:22:25]Give it the old thumbs up.

[00:22:28]If you're not subscribed consider a subscription. You would be most welcome to the channel if you like what I do.

[00:22:35]And uh leave a comment down below. I I will get back to I will answer them all eventually.

[00:22:40]No have no fear about that.

[00:22:42]I'll try and you know always try and answer answer all the comments. So yeah, thanks for coming out on this wonderful little cookout with me when I didn't have a plan.

[00:22:54]But I did it in the end.

[00:23:05]Bye.
