Nice one! You could also stick a hair dryer into the bottom hole of the bottom pot and blow air straight up. That thing will get super hot like a genuine tandoor. You could also use it as a forge to heat metal!
Judging by the temperature readings shown on Nick's video, these can get over 800 F... maybe as high as over 900 F. Hot enough to melt aluminum... so it might be a good caution to use stainless steel or at least iron implements in this one.
yea, you can quickly loose most of the hairs on your arm too as I found out! it seems like ages since this was made and I wish I had time to add to it but basically you need very long steel skewars to use it. I think the ones I had in thi video were bought locally in a hurry as my giant steel ones were not here yet!
What fun! Looks like it works just fine. And even if it didn't the cost was low and you obviously enjoyed the project. Ignore the nay sayers.........they sap the fun out of life!
cheers! It's BBQ season again here - still busy with the house renovation but I'm going to have to build another one soon; ready for summer. the nay sayers crack me up though!
Yea mate i made one yesterday, same problem as you, put the coal straight in the bottom of the pot, i couldn't get it to light! I need to make the raised grate to get the airflow.
Cool! The grille is essential I think. I made a much better once from a steel wire soap dish from Wilkinsons, I just prized it apart to make it fit. Works great, next video will show it briefly. Will post it when I'm next on my computer
Great idea, I would prefer to use it with candle as home warmer instead of a cooker. But it still can be an emergency way to cook, LIke when we have no electricity or gas. Good job!
Thanks! Great vid! I'm going to use perlite instead of gravel (perhaps top it with gravel to hold the perlite down). Better insulation and it doesn't have to dry out.
fantastic :D I hope it works out well for you. If you''re ever having issues with it just remember that airflow is key! check my second video for comments on that. Thanks for the feedback :)
Are you the wife of the genius? :))) my reading skills are fine, but why read from a screen when the person has a mouth... ooooww i know is so difficult to talk, such a demanding task
I speak on the next video! I figured there may be international viewers so opted for subtitles - and yea I kinda cocked them up and they're not very easy to read :( (sorry)
No worries Joe, please see my second video for an essential modification! Good luck finding long skewars too- try and find a takeaway catering equipment supplier (who sell commercial pizza ovens etc, they will sell skewars)
Alton Brown took a large pot and cut the bottom off like you did. And the he put it in his grill. He got it to I think 800 degrees with fewer steps, though your method looks to be better quality.
cool. I presume you mean 800f? you should be getting hotter in a tandoor constructed like this. check my other video I uploaded recently for a modification to this model which really unleashes it!
Don't ruin a saw, use a round ceramic / tile cutter blade. I do NOT mean on a skill-saw either, I mean on a frame saw like the one you were using to crate the groove cut around the pot before you cut the bottom all the way off with the rip saw.
yea sorry about that, I could have made a better choice at the time. I'll look into adding subtitles / closed captions in RUclips's native format so people can access them easier. You may find the pictures more useful, and check my follow-up video for some modifications if you end up making one of these. Thanks
Joe, thanks for your comment :) It never crossed my mind as the pots are not glazed; they're just bare/raw terracotta. In discussions about cooking on terracotta someone always chucks in the lead curveball to the mix and nobody can ever prove anything. I'd say avoid any glazed pots of any description as you will never be able to be sure what the glaze contains. I think you're in for a better chance of survival cooking with terracotta than you are in a galvanized bin though!
Just feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnttttttttttttttttttttttttaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasticcccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc , Mate . U R an expert , Of course.
I made this with the modifications... I recommend u fill the side with anything u get and seal the top with clay... So no heat is wasted and gravel wont get wet.... And my problem is it takes forever to cook... And I don't get the real tandoor taste.. Any advice
+Prabhakar Thoushat hey it just sounds like you're not getting enough airflow. it should cook very quickly. Try using charcoal lumpwood rather than briquettes - they burn hotter but can be smokey at lower temperatures. most of the cooking heat comes from the sides of the pots - keep that in mind!
I liked your video but I could not read the font of the instructions. There is basically no audio. So I watched what you did but I don't understand because I could not read the instructions. Can you modify the video with audio- telling us what you are doing or can you change the font?
+my videos sorry for the late reply. It's best to put a potato or onion on the botom of the skewer to protect the meat from the very hot coals. I used baby onions, which are actualy very nice to eat afterwards!
Hi Sally, I'm going to put a new video up quite soon with some improvements you can make. It will work as it is but the key is airflow, you need to get air under the coals by raising them on a grille. The major change I made since this video was to drill bigger holes in the bottoms of the pots. It took 5 minutes and the heat is crazy now. I'll pit a new video up tomorrow hopefully!
made this over the weekend - had a lot of trouble getting the heat to stay high. I am guessing this is either because it rained the night before - and the gravel was wet - or it was a problem with the airflow. Do you have any further advice on how to ensure it has a good high temperature?
You just need more airflow! Have a look at my second video which details some of my findings. Suspend your charcoal on mesh, use lump wood for higher temperature.
+James Delesky They are terra cotta, and should not crack from heat in this range, unless they are splashed with cold water or something while at full heat. I've made an electric smoker this way with great results as well.
Hey, it would probably be too hot to be honest; this kind of overn is only for tandoori style cooking; this is mostly skewared meats (kebabs) that are small in volume and cook quick - the idea is that the heat transferred into the skewar cooks the meat from the inside and the radient heat cooks it from the ouside - so it's in there for a very short amount of time - putting anyting on top of the oven would burn it very quickly on one side and it would be raw on the other - I don't suggest you do this!
Hi Nick, do you protect it against the weather? I've built one following your instructions. Unfortunately, the sky is pouring with rain and my tadoori is now soaking wet! I'm just wondering if I'll ever be able to dry it out. Thanks for posting the video.
Hey Carlos, I do most of the time, I use a large blue Ikea bag as a cover. The handles easily tied around the handles on the old bbq it sat on. Saying that, I have left it out for weeks in the rain with no issues at all, it didn't cause any damage
Maybe if you regulate the air intake and/or use the end cut off a pot to diffuse the heat the food might not burn. Thanks for a great video! I love this idea.
+Viru Sinstall just noticed it's only gravel but other videos people use insolation, gravel would not make good insolation . BTW I am fairly poor due to not being able to work as I have been treated for cancer thanks for your comment tho viru nice guy !
use perlite or vermiculite - they're both very cheap - maybe even cheaper than gravel - I really need to make a new video! watch my second Tandoor ideo and I explan the two types of insulation I have just mentioned. Vermiculite is probably the cheapest and you can even buy it on ebay - it's very very lightweight - it has the appearance of something heavy like gravel but it's light, like popcorn :D
Hey, I use a cheap plastic spatula - the type you would use for flipping pancakes. I just push the ash towards the vent hole in the bottom and it falls out - you can collect it from there. easy :)
Hey I don't think they will cook to be honest, the top pot isn't insulated so may not get hot enough - I have not tried it though to be fair. The oven is still packed and I'm too busy working on the house to try it out! since I made this oven in January, perhaps I could make mk.3 in the new year!
William Riley-Land No prob's Will. It's just occured to me though - you said flatbreads, which are usually cooked on the floor of a pizza oven... is tat what you meant? or did you mean naan breads? flatbread dough may not stick to sides of a tandoor oven anyway (and likewise you would not want a naan bread stiuck to the bottom of your pizza oven! )
There are *so many* kinds of flat bread all over the world, they're so varied! Seems like any kind of flour fine or course, leavening (or not), batters, dough, it's a really neat kind of home cookin' :) Some people cook naan in Tandoors. I've never done it but it would be fun to try... here's a short clip of what I'm talking about: How to make naan bread in Tandoor Oven - indian restaurant cooking - indian cooking - pabda20 Cheers W
***** Hey Paige. I use a weber chimney starter (which is great to have for BBQ's anyway) to light the coals and then dump them in the oven. I used to just use kindling and coals though right int he bottom of the oven and that worked too. the absolute key is airflow - please check my second video for advice on that! I made the hole bigger in the second version of the oven and it improved things to no end. It's required that the coals are slightly suspended if possible. a bit of old mesh or grill will do for that. just to check you're using the right coals too - you must not use house coals. they need to be BBQ briquettes or lumpwood charcoal. lumpwood is a bit more s okey but burns hotter. briquettes are more consistent and will still burn hot enough. ruclips.net/video/WVav--CWSlk/видео.html - this is the weber starer I use - I use forelighters instead of paper though - the ashes off paper end up everywhere. ruclips.net/video/L0J3Jyee6vM/видео.html - that's my second video which details modifications to the original oven
Paige Stankevicius no problem! they're honestly great just to have anyway. I will say though if you were unable to light a fire in the bottom of the pot normally then you almost certainly have airflow issues. A chimney starter won't solve your airflow issues but it will make life easier when you do. -make sure the bottom pot has plenty of air around it. note that I had mine on a grill! it had all-round free-air. -make sureto suspend your coals in the bottom - just like in a kettle bbq. -make sure to enlarge the bottom pot holes (see my second video)
see the follow-up video mate! I change it to vermiculite and perlite which is much much better. if it was a case of sand vs gravel, don't use either - but if that's your only option then gravel every time; it's likely to be lighter and better for insulation
I did it oven during your instruction and the fraction of the pot material which you recommend was broken eye of my baby. My baby is now blind . The health inspectors said that the flower pot is not good for tandoori oven, because is not enough resistant for hot temperatures. I am worrying everybody, please do not do that.
yes, pretty much. it's too hot for that. it would burn on the outside and be raw in the middle - you can mould the burger around a thick skewar, like a seekh kebab and cook it - that will work perfectly as the skewer gets very hot and cooks it from the inside, and the radiated heat cooks and charrs the outside.
you don't really need to to be honest; the process of starting a new fire and letting it come up to temperature does a pretty good job of cleaning it :)
Do not use garden pots for direct cooking as shown in this video. All kinds of dangerous stuff in those things. Not to mention that while terracotta can be quite heat tolerant. Garden grade isn't going to hold up
Passing thought. Those posh new electronic multitools that have a variety of cutting blades for various materials, where originally developed from the vibrating plaster cutters used in hospitals. They would give you a cleaner cut (& faster) if you were to use the ceramic tile cutting blade instead.
Te está enseñando a hacerlo con lo más rudimentario que cualquiera . Incluso lo puedo hacer a la perfección de otra manera mucho más sencilla y sin herramienta alguna . Si tienes dinero para comprar esas herramientas lo tienes también para no necesitar por el momento hacer lo que hace . Criticar el trabajo de los demás , es muy fácil , ser creativo es otra muy distinta
There is a fine line between charred and burned, bit yea, that was a bit burnt ha ha. The stuff on the bottom tends to a little bit but it's usually okay if you put a lump of potato on the end to protect it from direct heat.
Nicely done I also made one with 200L drum and large size pot.
I can use mine with propane and coal. Also i can use as a grill
Nice one! You could also stick a hair dryer into the bottom hole of the bottom pot and blow air straight up. That thing will get super hot like a genuine tandoor. You could also use it as a forge to heat metal!
I didn't think chicken could melt... but that may actually do it! ha ha
seriously though, this thing gets HOT. 550C plus :)
Wreck your saw, or get a masonry wheel for a 4.5" grinder and be extra careful.
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. Need to make one soon.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking your time for others to see and get what you're doing
Thanks

and yes, I've seen temps in excess of 500c (930f)! using a digital remote thermometre
Over a million views. Totally genius. You are cookin'. Thank you!
really excellent thanks . Looks like the real thing...And thanks for taking that label off !
Thank you thank you for sharing and God bless you and your family
Thanks a lot Rosie, you're very welcome. have an awesome day and a Happy New Year!

How do you clean out the coal dust debris in the bottom?
coat the top with a perlite + dissolved silica gel mixture. Light, easy, super insulative. You are welcome
Best way to make a tandoor... Thanks mate...!
+Amardeep Tahim thanks :)
Makes a nice addition/alternative to a BBQ.
insulate the bottom inner pot with fire rated insulation and add vent holes
You can fill the area between the pots with wet sand and make a cooler, as well.
+stxflyer do it!
Nice, fits well in even small garden!
Wonderful idea and thoroughly thought out video!
Have you tried baking naan breads on the side?
That would be my main reason to ever make this!
I'd be concerned with lead in the clay as those aren't meant to be food-safe clay pots.
@@Rhythmicons oh thanks!
i was thinking about using a saw to cut the bottoms off, did it take long and how many blades did you go through, thanks in advance
Does the food taste better when using this tandoori than a weber? I can see the food will taste more smoky..but overall ? much better?
Alton Brown took a large pot and cut the bottom off like you did. And the he put it in his grill. He got it to I think 800 degrees with fewer steps, though your method looks to be better quality.

I found Candle that last 72 days I wonder if the pots will withhold those days of heat
Some of these pots are lead based. Make sure there is no lead in your pots for this project.
+Stephen Elkins yeah and don't use plastic flower pots :-)

How about changing your font color? No outlines needed unless you want printing unreadable.
+Laura Cullen And yet you were able to read it.
This is a neat idea but your font color is hard to read.

How well does the terracotta pots hold up to heating and cooling, do they crack easily?
Rick great post.How did you make sure there isn't lad in the glase of your pots,dont want to poisen the family.
Joe, thanks for your comment :)

Hi Rick. How do you empty the used charcoal from the tandoor?
A A just flick it through the hole in the bottom with a spatula. See second video; the hole is bigger
also - what to do about the black soot? Seems to get on the naan bread... any ideas?
How did you get the ashes out of the oven?

Hi mate gonna make one on the weekend, quick question mate, would it be better if the chimney bit was some how glued on the bottom
I liked your video but I could not read the font of the instructions. There is basically no audio. So I watched what you did but I don't understand because I could not read the instructions. Can you modify the video with audio- telling us what you are doing or can you change the font?
Rik is there anyway of not burning it...the food I mean
+my videos probably longer skewers. get the meat a few inches further from the coals.
+my videos
sorry for the late reply.
It's best to put a potato or onion on the botom of the skewer to protect the meat from the very hot coals.
I used baby onions, which are actualy very nice to eat afterwards!
Have had a go at this but don't seem to be getting enough heat, what am I doing wrong?

Did the pots crack at all from the heat?
+James Delesky They are terra cotta, and should not crack from heat in this range, unless they are splashed with cold water or something while at full heat. I've made an electric smoker this way with great results as well.
+Greg Whitley thanks for that.
the pots hold up very well in this heat.
I suggest adding an upper grill to cook on. This would probably work well cooking a small turkey like they trash can method.
Hey,
it would probably be too hot to be honest; this kind of overn is only for tandoori style cooking; this is mostly skewared meats (kebabs) that are small in volume and cook quick - the idea is that the heat transferred into the skewar cooks the meat from the inside and the radient heat cooks it from the ouside - so it's in there for a very short amount of time - putting anyting on top of the oven would burn it very quickly on one side and it would be raw on the other - I don't suggest you do this!
Hi Nick, do you protect it against the weather? I've built one following your instructions. Unfortunately, the sky is pouring with rain and my tadoori is now soaking wet! I'm just wondering if I'll ever be able to dry it out. Thanks for posting the video.
Hey Carlos, I do most of the time, I use a large blue Ikea bag as a cover. The handles easily tied around the handles on the old bbq it sat on. Saying that, I have left it out for weeks in the rain with no issues at all, it didn't cause any damage
Hi Rick, thank you for your reply. I've covered it with bin liner. Now, I'm just waiting for the Sun to show up. Take care.
No problem, have fun!
Maybe if you regulate the air intake and/or use the end cut off a pot to diffuse the heat the food might not burn. Thanks for a great video! I love this idea.
Where to buy the insulation sand. And what is the name of the insulation material
Perlite which he did not use.
Jeez that's so freakin' clever!! Well done mate!!!! Lol hahaa 👍🏼😀
Any idea how to determine if the clay pot has any lead in it? Scratch test?
Doubt it.
As long as the pots are unglazed clay thete is little to worry about.
The lead, if any, is in the glazing.
what els can you use for insulation I'm on an extremely tight budget
This brother so poor he can't afford rocks.
+Viru Sinstall just noticed it's only gravel but other videos people use insolation, gravel would not make good insolation . BTW I am fairly poor due to not being able to work as I have been treated for cancer thanks for your comment tho viru nice guy !

Thanks mate ended up maken one using soil for the bottom and stones for the top works great but think I need more air holes at the bottom
after cooking, how do you get rid of the ashes?
Hey,
I use a cheap plastic spatula - the type you would use for flipping pancakes. I just push the ash towards the vent hole in the bottom and it falls out - you can collect it from there. easy :)
I have made one too - I got a 99p stainless steel sink drainer to use as a grill works a treat! :)
How! If u have picture please!
Can you cook flat breads with this?
Hey I don't think they will cook to be honest, the top pot isn't insulated so may not get hot enough - I have not tried it though to be fair. The oven is still packed and I'm too busy working on the house to try it out! since I made this oven in January, perhaps I could make mk.3 in the new year!

Hi, what method do you use to light the fire? I'm using coals and fire starters, but it's not generating enough heat.
***** Hey Paige.
I use a weber chimney starter (which is great to have for BBQ's anyway) to light the coals and then dump them in the oven. I used to just use kindling and coals though right int he bottom of the oven and that worked too. the absolute key is airflow - please check my second video for advice on that!

ruclips.net/video/L0J3Jyee6vM/видео.html - that's my second video which details modifications to the original oven
Thanks for your help. I'll buy a chimney starter today :)
Paige Stankevicius no problem! they're honestly great just to have anyway.
I will say though if you were unable to light a fire in the bottom of the pot normally then you almost certainly have airflow issues. A chimney starter won't solve your airflow issues but it will make life easier when you do.

Why use gravel and not sand?
see the follow-up video mate! I change it to vermiculite and perlite which is much much better.
if it was a case of sand vs gravel, don't use either - but if that's your only option then gravel every time; it's likely to be lighter and better for insulation
Vermiculite first,, then top with the stone to keep it from shifting.
1/4 the weight.
Jer Szak yep, you're spot on. see the second video. that's what I did in the second version.
Will it work with bread?
If you use 50cm skewers the food won't burn, your skewers were too short that's all.
+AHandsomeman
I really need to make a new vid! I have a selection of skewers that I got shortly after I made this.
is it possible to get sick from chemicals from the flower pot
No, there are none. The pots are not glazed.
+Hospitalist007 it is only mud pot
I did it oven during your instruction and the fraction of the pot material which you recommend was broken eye of my baby.
My baby is now blind . The health inspectors said that the flower pot is not good for tandoori oven, because is not enough resistant for hot temperatures. I am worrying everybody, please do not do that.
Seems very prone to breaking apart if bumped the wrong way.
cool job hunn after this winters gona im gona try something like that but allitle wider 2 cook curry pots in it and chapaties yes baby yes
ha, thanks. go for it! let me know how it goes. I reckon the top could be utilised to cook a curry but be warned it's very very hot.

cheap price. very cheap. as cheap as you can get. about £cheap.cheap I think it cost. could not find a cheaper one.
what a great idea.
so i through a burger in and it burst into flames in seconds?
yes, pretty much. it's too hot for that. it would burn on the outside and be raw in the middle - you can mould the burger around a thick skewar, like a seekh kebab and cook it - that will work perfectly as the skewer gets very hot and cooks it from the inside, and the radiated heat cooks and charrs the outside.
и честно показали горелые шашлыки в конце)) такие здоровенные горшки стоят подороже кирпичей
Some cray pot is not safe, food might got chemicals.

great thanks for posting it
U of
Reading some of these comments. Seems someone is throwing Pearls to the hogs...!
what about cleaning the pot?
you don't really need to to be honest; the process of starting a new fire and letting it come up to temperature does a pretty good job of cleaning it :)
Cant read your captions...
This dude could buy three brand new pots, but couldn't buy a masonry blade for a hacksaw?
Do not use garden pots for direct cooking as shown in this video. All kinds of dangerous stuff in those things. Not to mention that while terracotta can be quite heat tolerant. Garden grade isn't going to hold up
Passing thought. Those posh new electronic multitools that have a variety of cutting blades for various materials, where originally developed from the vibrating plaster cutters used in hospitals. They would give you a cleaner cut (& faster) if you were to use the ceramic tile cutting blade instead.
Te está enseñando a hacerlo con lo más rudimentario que cualquiera . Incluso lo puedo hacer a la perfección de otra manera mucho más sencilla y sin herramienta alguna . Si tienes dinero para comprar esas herramientas lo tienes también para no necesitar por el momento hacer lo que hace . Criticar el trabajo de los demás , es muy fácil , ser creativo es otra muy distinta
You burned some perfectly good food!!!
There is a fine line between charred and burned, bit yea, that was a bit burnt ha ha. The stuff on the bottom tends to a little bit but it's usually okay if you put a lump of potato on the end to protect it from direct heat.
You've never eaten Cajun style chicken?
Ricky
I am Cajun born and raised South Louisiana and never ate burnt chicken like that.
Hmmmm why not use a tile blade on a skill saw or power saw not knowing what you call them over there.
great ideea !!!
Cant read your print explanation
sorry about that, I realised too late that the subtitles are GARBAGE!
