    Very simple one, what do ye use to mix with the raddle powder for the rams ?
    I use oil myself but just curious to see what others use.

    Whatever oil I can find - sometimes cooking oil, sometimes chainsaw oil, as that's whats to hand in the shed. I'd only be mixing a very small amount though...

    Prob best option,although if you lather on enough oil on brisket it will last for longer than you might think.
