So this never arrived (Barrow Conversions UK Ltd - conversion kit) along with many other unlucky customers. Looks like my bank is sorting a refund (fingers crossed) but many will be out of pocket. No answers to emails, phone line down, dreadful company!
Gonna pre-order from CarpPorter hopefully get one for winter/early spring - should have got a whole new barrow in hindsight and stuck with the big boys - not tried cowboys! Lesson learnt 🤬

Sorry to hear that, hope you get your refund.
I try to use PayPal for as many payments as possible as you do normally get buyer protection.

I make sure she has shade, and can reach the water for a paddle.
I hope that is good news then.
Not as bright today, and I've been on the receiving end of a heavy shower or two, one while I was walking Sky the 2miles around the lake.

I'm in this month, a lot of hard work for the result so far.
4 hours of raking and baiting with hemp, sweetcorn and boilies on Thursday, this morning I had one of this years stock fish at 15lb on sweetcorn. It went in in January at 11lb 4oz.
I knew there were fish in the area, the young coot that was diving on my baits kept on coming up looking panicked, running away then return to dive again, so the run was not a surprise.

Just a little update I'm still at the res, I've lost 4 fish since Thursday, the one on Thursday felt like a really decent fish, was holding out in the water at about 60 yards, managed to get it a bit in a bit further but the hooked pulled, then lost another 3 due to hook pulls.
Personally I think it's down to me and not the tackle, I was in between 2 other anglers and was probably putting a bit too much pressure on the fish to stop it kiting and wiping out their rods.
Anyway I'm on the end of them now and here for another night. Was really quiet last night but the conditions have changed, a bit cooler with wind and cloud. Hopefully I can get one on the bank before I leave tomorrow 👍

A PB and one off the bucket list with a 12lb 12oz Bream and it was a a privilege to see one finally, had it on the carp gear which was a pity.
Linear has been good to me over the years with the 3 Roach over 2lb in a mad 30mins spell,, Common Carp 46lb and now the Bream.

I wondered what the inside looked like of my Atts thanks for going to the trouble of finding out 👍

Ran out of bait and the nearest tackle shop is over an hour away, bought some pony cubes from an animal feeds store. And some tinned corn, cannellini beans, red kidney beans and chick peas.
Chucked some in and it sinks fine, silvers have moved in on it already 🤣

I've got the one that puts out just a single flame not the 3. Been a good little cooker so far if you use the flame correctly.
Turn it right up and it's like a jet engine. Had it for over 6 months.
£21 for 6 big cans.
Mine also came with a adapter to use the skinny gas cans

Think my Txi'ds are 2 and ½ years old now, been out in some serious weather, plenty of rain, and extreme heat. About the only thing they haven't been subjected to is cold weather as I haven't done much winter carping for a while, its been no fishing or pike.
I've replaced the receiver battery twice, and just gotten the low battery warning on 2 of the alarms, so I really must dig the new Duracell Pro batteries out of the kitchen draw.

Review it in winter please
once we get a few frosts that’s the real acid test for a stove nice cold gas 👍👍

Higham1987 reacted to jh92 in New purchases
Yeah mate I think they are the same lol, it's a nice burner you can open it right up it goes turbo 🤣 but probably not very efficient on the gas lol
