I use Hi Soft, very similar to asahi, and i love them. I’m a bit of a knife snob, all my knives are carbon steel, with very fine, sharp edges. I sharpen at roughly 12* per side. My point is that even with these edges, these boards are great because they dont affect my edges at all. I can easily go a year between sharpenings, and even then, these boards edges are never damaged because of cutting surface. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Oh my !!!!! That looks amazing !!!! Love that crust, i might have to try that method

WOW!

Hi there. I am about to dive down a new rabbit hole and I thought I would drop by and see if you could help me dig deeper. A number of top UK chefs recommend the Apex cutting boards. They are eye wateringly expensive if you search generally on the web but I managed to track down the UK source and managed to get it down to a manageable £165: https://rowandsons.co.uk/collections/chefs-at-home/products/apex-cutting-board I then did some more searching to confirm or change my choice and found this YouTube video in which asahi and hasegawa cutting boards are recommended. They are more reasonably priced and the Black Friday sales would be a good option for renewing our very old stack of cutting boards. We would keep the good wooden ones for serving and chopping but a fresh set for fish, meat and veg prep would be great. Grateful for your views and recommendations before I pull the trigger.

Been quite a while since I last posted a cook on here, so thought I would share this one. I really wanted to do something different other than just smoking another Wagyu Prime Rib for the holiday (yes, I know how weird that sounds to say, lol) and I was fortunate enough to acquire this beastie 2 days before Thanksgiving. Prepped with salt, pepper and garlic (kept it simple) and smoked it on the Ultimate 23 for 8.5 hours at 225 degrees using Coco Char with a combo of hickory and plum wood and end result was amazing, the flavor, juiciness, tenderness (and that A5 richness!) were absolutely insane, it literally dissolved on your tongue! Calling this one a HUGE hit with the family is an understatement, will definitely be doing this one again in the future!👍☺ Thank you, Dennis, for making such an amazing grill!!🙏👍👏😊

A distant cousin I presume, it only had one leg....I'm sure your didn't mind.

I got a really weird looking turkey for Thanksgiving this year. But it tasted great 😊

Turkey Day on the KK followed by smoked salmon with honey and the recent post of a recipe of sweet potatoes. That recipe is a keeper, rich, but on occasion oh it's an addition to to the table. I used fresh sage with the fresh garlic, they balanced each other well....from the Out and about post recipe. The Turkey was basted with butter at the end on the skin, it was an easy cook and an enjoyable feast.

Looks good @remi

Does this include accessories? Have the prices been adjusted on the site or is the discount applied at checkout?

The DeWalt requres 3 blades I belive and like mine were in the Rigid having two were dual sided. The helical heads have 4 rows of 10 blades of either tungsten or cardide in each. You simply loosen the square blade and turn 90 degrees. The matierial lends itself to a long wear and if you experience a small chip you simply replace that singular blade. Due to the configuration of how the blades are laid out on a curved placement line of 4 rows it eliminates some stress straight blades would have and also the finish is noticeably better. Find Buy Tools makes a replacement head for the DeWalt, many people have done so as I've seen on line and the video instruction is available on line also. In addition to Dennis's and Syzygies wine racks I remember making one too approx 35 years ago holding 120 bottles, the plans were from a craftbook with simpler models. However that's not the point, the point is I could never fill it....it seemed to disappear in volume every time I walked by. I gave it away and went back to standing a few behind the bar. Great job there boys, it always a good feeling of accomplishment, nobody can take it away.

Wow, I love your design. I'm very happy with my pragmatic design, using metal grids. And I usually cringe at the loss of bottle density in most "artistic" designs. Yours is great looking, celebrates wood, and doesn't give up bottle density. With the right jig and a great router table (I have Jessem's best table) can one knock out your vertical elements? I'd cut V's so the boards mated with the eighth turn bigger sticks. Or do I have this wrong?

My sister asked for a teak wine rack, and I love the results. It's one of my favorite projects in 35 years of building furniture professionally. These are my hand-hewn teak floors. https://handhewnfloors.com

Tyrus - yes, the upper cabinet is meant for the wine glasses and large tea/water glasses to stand below them, forgot to mention that detail, thanks for asking. I am looking at replacing the straight blades in my dewalt planer versus buy new, no decision yet.

Very nice Tucker and a good size [Goldilocks] too. Excuse the critique but just under the glasses you have some empty space, will you stand or lay down bottles there? Recently my Dewalt miter perished as well as my Rigid planer and they don't service them any more because they don't make parts. So I replaced them with the 10 Bosch with the articulating arm and the Find buy tools helical cutterhead planer. The planer with that head leaves a finish 220 sandpaper would leave. Hope your enjoying the shop you made, well obviously you are. Cheers

After having completed the bookcase, I was asked to create a small 'china' cabinet to fit a specific space and need. It is 49" tall. Made of ash, except the drawer bottoms. Crafted the wine glass rack as well. Stained it walnut, left the interior natural intentionally.

That turkey does look good, but this year I am on my own for turkey day again so I'll be throwing a tomahawk on the KK 😀

While taking a mini vacation this week I stopped into a shop and picked up a cook book, as soon as I did it felt comfortable in my hand like a warm glove. It might have been the cover that was lightly stuffed or all the fine illustrations inside while thumbing through, anyway I found the recipes simpler and easy to follow, not requiring added steps with multiple utensils needed to complete. In there I found many suitable and easy to try for this coming holiday, here are two if interested. I believe the two autor/chefs are from England and have a restaurant, a place called Notting Hill or Nottingham if you live thereabouts. So for me anything that can simplify the process, keep the dishes looking top shelf and doesn't take half the day is right up my alley. Not to mention they appear all KK friendly. Happy Thanksgiving wherever you may be

Unless you are left-handed, put the closed side of the charcoal basket splitter on the right. The closed stainless part should shield your hand while cooking.. Right-handed setup

Beautiful location.. Thanks for the Kudos!

Mid-July I raised my prices to help offset the 19% tariff.. Shortly after, sales dropped noticeably. I've returned pricing to pre-tariff levels for the Christmas season and plan to adjust prices after the New Year. Just wanted to let you know..

You should probably give Dennis a call to confirm 👍

So has the tarriff been lifted? I see the prices have gone back down.

Roasted a chicken tonight based on a recipe by Samin Nosrat. Served with basmati rice, some veges and the green sauce from @Troble’s famous recipe. It turned out great- crispy skin and super juicy.
