Seems like a lot of forumites have great and varied opinons on steak, and how it should be prepared before eaten. I think I know where al lot of it ends up. That is why we all carry a shovel, S-it happens.
I like my Billy tea boiled on Manuka fire in an open billy,add a small palm full of leaf tea for each when boiled, when it has come back to the boil, remove from fire tap billy to settle the leaves. pour across the hamdle and enjoy, if the town people do not appreciate the smoke, apparently if you lay a twig across the top of the billy you don't get the
smokey flavour, never bothered trying that myself.
The Tea Billy is the Tea Billy and just used for that, only rinse if you must, but keep
well cllear of that detergent stuff rhat woman like to use.
I better go swing the Billy
Cheers

Hi All
When I was an Apprentice Plumber, it was my job to make the Tea for Smokos and Lunch, I use to boil the billy on a gas lead burner,and throw in 4 hand fulls of tea leaves, the abuse I would cop if the tea was no good was horrendus, I soon learnt to make a good cuppa, I use to drink it with Condense Milk, after a while the next apprentice would have to do it, I still enjoy it when we are camping,and every now and then we will make a Damper on the Cobb Cooker at
home and I will boil the Billy on the BBQ gas ring, I love it.
Cheers
Daza
