Posted on 21. Mar, 2012 by Jules Durrant in Kitchen Gear
As a last-minute Valentine’s Day gift, I decided to buy my boyfriend a Smokey Joe. He had been bemoaning the fact that we never braai in the week even though we both love a bit of char-grilled goodness, and we both agreed it was because a normal braai is so time consuming to use. Since [...]
