Turned out pretty good! Already have some recipe tweaks in mind for next time. Facebook brought its own fair share of informative consumer reports.įolks like this happy customer loved speaking about everything they grilled on their Spark Grills grills: “ Our first smoked brisket (at home) on our Spark Grill. That’s just what Spark Grills customers said on the company’s website. I received mine a year ago and use it almost every night to cook everything but my breakfast cereal.” This next review wasn’t written by a monkey, but it does shed more light on the Spark Grills Spark One: “ If you love to grill but you want it to be simple, clean, easy, and idiot-proof, this is the grill you must have. They claimed it was so simple even a monkey could sear a steak. The biggest impression was Fourth of July weekend, with company coming over and slow cooking my first side of ribs – someone at Spark interrupted their holiday to give me advice on my ribs!”Īnd we can’t ignore how many customers loved how stress-free cooking became after purchasing a Spark Grill. This 5/5 star review tells us a bit about both, saying, “ Been easy to put together and use with all the video help. Others swooned over the simple set-up procedure and the company’s good customer service. This is the best grill I have ever owned.” You can make pizzas, steaks, burgers, veggies, etc. The winners of the Times Higher Awards will be announced via a virtual ceremony on 26th November 2020.Another customer highlighted the product’s versatility: “ This grill is like taking all your grills and putting them together. We look forward to building sustainability into more construction projects as, within the UK and globally, we continue to strive towards net zero goals.” “A thorough understanding of all the constituent materials, their individual properties and combined behaviour has been required in order to deliver this innovation while testing such a new and innovative construction material has been a challenge. While clay bricks take 10-40 hours to produce, K-Briqs are unfired so take just 2-3 minutes to manufacture while providing the construction industry with double the insulation properties and increased energy efficiency versus a traditional brick.ĭr Sam Chapman, Managing Director of spin-out company Kenoteq which produces the K-Briq said: “This award nomination is testament to the tireless work of our interdisciplinary team of civil, structural, chemical and mechanical engineers, architects, chemists and geologists who have collaborated for more than a decade to bring K-Briq to market. We remain incredibly grateful for the funding and support from Zero Waste Scotland, Scottish Enterprise, Construction Scotland Innovation Centre, the Royal Academy of Engineering and Innovate UK which has allowed us to take the K-Briq to this point.”.” This award nomination completes an incredible year for the K-Briq.
We’ve secured our first build project from the prestigious Serpentine Pavilion in London and our research has been showcased on international platforms like CNN and Forbes. “Since its launch at the start of the year, the K-Briq has successfully driven ‘sustainability in construction’ into the media and public consciousness. Our team, in line with Heriot-Watt’s outward-looking ethos, wanted to find a solution. Globally, the sector’s CO2 emissions account for 39% of the world’s total. Professor Gabriela Medero from the School of Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society, said: “The UK’s construction industry produces over 100 million waste tonnes annually, over a third of the UK’s total.
#Briqs hours update
Shortlisted in the competitive STEM Research Project of the Year category, the K-Briq produces just a tenth of the CO2 emissions of a traditional fired brick and uses less than a tenth of the energy during manufacture.Ĭonceived from a research project which began more than a decade ago to explored sustainable, traditional construction methods, the team, led by Professor Gabriela Medero and Dr Sam Champan, set out to update historical techniques for modern day application. Project ‘The K-Briq’ is the world’s first recycled brick made from 90% construction and demolition waste. Research from Heriot-Watt University has been shortlisted in the prestigious Times Higher Education Awards 2020 - the Oscars of higher education - in recognition of its innovative STEM project.
