There are very few rhubarb purists that I’ve found in the US. They seem to be mostly clustered in the Midwest - land of my youth. Ruining rhubarb with strawberries is the usual approach on either coast. Except in California, where they like to sneak kale into everything. 

 

Grew up in the mid-west and would eat rhubarb right out the garden as a kid. Really need to go easy on the sugar in pies also, as not to mask the wonderful taste of fresh rhubarb!!!!!   My friends in Upstate NY never talk about rhubarb and you rarely see it.....even at Wegmans????

On a mission now............need to finds some :sad11:

Jon, I did the same thing. I'd go into my Grandmother's garden and eat rhubarb while standing right beside the patch. Yum yum. :smt060

...and the answer is paella on the BB32 whilst the 23 is cooking a roadkill, just in case the guests are extra hungry.

Add more veg, tomatoes, Calasparra rice, and saffron rosemary broth.

The roadkill is almost done while finishing with a bit of socarrat. Nailed it!

@Chanly1983 - when I use the baking steel on my KK’s, I put the steel on the upper grate to get the pizza as high as possible into the dome to get more top heat from the dome. I also put some sort of deflector on the lower grate to block the direct radiant heat on the steel. I typically run around 550 with these measures help achieve balanced top/bottom browning.

Wow that’s a great looking pizza!!

I’ve recently gained access to the members area and been reading through some of the old posts. I noticed in some that Dennis mentioned that he would be producing baking steels for the KK’s, did anything ever eventuate from this?

No. I recall Dennis having problems finding anyone able to produce them at a reasonable price. I believe that's on hold.

@Pequod I was hoping you were going to chime in, thanks for the tip. Also what pizza recipe do you use?

I have several recipes for different styles. And use a different method for each style. Most are derived from those posted at pizzamaking.com. For Chicago Deep Dish and Chicago Thin I use the KK baking stone. For Neapolitan I use the Blackstone Pizza Oven, but this is far from ideal. For NY style I prefer the baking steel on my KK using the directions above, but will sometimes use the Blackstone. 

This is the formula I prefer for NY style: https://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=8093.msg368433#msg368433

You have to read through the thread a bit to find the workflow. I use unbromated All Trumps flour for this pizza.

A really good book that covers many styles (ignore the flawed Chicago style recipes, however) is The Pizza Bible. This book is very well regarded at Pizzamaking.com. There is another book by Ken Forkish - The Elements of Pizza - that many like, but is universally panned at pizzamaking.com. I think The Pizza Bible is far better than the Forkish book. However, Forkish’s book on bread - Flour Water Salt Yeast - is fantastic.

Hey I know what I’ll do! I put the Vegemite on the rhubarb like peanut butter on celery hows that sound?

I think that you've actually discovered a way to make Vegemite even more disgusting! :pukeright:

Yep, the guy that was to do the CnC cutting was way out of line on the pricing. Pretty much killed the project, as Dennis has struggled to find another contractor to do the work. Too bad, as the designs were awesome!

@Chanly1983 - this one’s for you. Just so happened to have two 72 hours doughballs in the fridge (recipe at the link posted above). 

Here is my configuration today. Repurposed Grillgrates from a long dead gasser are my IR deflector. Round baking steel up high.

I highly recommend Mike’s Hot Honey as a drizzle:

Gigantic 4-6 per lb. count shrimp and fresh zucchini. Seared on lowest level. Other side not shown was leftover black eyed peas mixed with silver queen corn. I used Cajun seasoning on the shrimp, and it may sound weird, but I used brisket rub on the zucchini and after pulling from the fire, a sprinkling of purple crack. It turned out delicious! Wife raved, which pleased me greatly.
