Turkey Day on the KK followed by smoked salmon with honey and the recent post of a recipe of sweet potatoes. That recipe iis a keeper, a bit rich, but on occasion oh it's an addition to to the table. I used fresh savory with the fresh garlic, they balanced each other well....from the Out and about post recipe.

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.

Perfect setting and glad to hear you experienced the same thing the rest of us have. It's a wonderful purchase and will last and last and last. The kids will be fighting over it. 😁

I've started my pork back ribs, looking forward to having them for dinner this evening. Dressed. On the KK. Ribs just off KK. I know you can't tell from this pix but these ribs were verrry moist. Plated.

Welcome to the Obsession! Looking forward to seeing your cooks. Forum Rule: No pictures, Didn't Happen!

Ive had a 23” since 2012, and i thought it was plenty, at the time it was the biggest offered. When i finally got a larger size, it didn’t feel big, the 23” felt small, strangely enough. I always encourage bigger is better, and I’ve never heard a regret for the sentiment. Beautiful grill, especially beautiful setting, and congratulations! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Beautiful back yard and deck, would that be a teak or mahogany deck or something similar? Curious to know why on outside deck the boards aren't slightly spaced apart for rain, anyhow it is very nice.

Simple cheeseburgers here tonight- wagyu patties from a local butcher, cheddar melted on top, swipe of relish and some pickle on toasted brioche buns- so simple, so good. Some chicken satay and lamb skewers and veges to add some interest.

I use the Thermoworks Signals with wired probes. I like it a lot, especially being able to view the cooking temp profiles on both the app and on a computer via the website after the fact. I struggle to remember approx cook times for different cuts and just reference back to the saved histories of prior cooks so I can time things correctly. I also really like cooking by internal meat temp. For long low temp cooks, especially in strong wind conditions (where temp can fluctuate with big wind) and/or overnight (where I can't be bothered waking up to check on things) I use Thermoworks' Billows fan connected to their battery and the Signals. It doesn't need AC with the battery and the Billows always keeps a rock steady 107 deg.C (my preferred low & slow temp). I did see that they brough out the wireless probes a while back (as per JonJ and SteveL's comments), but they didn't integrate with the Signals then so I didn't buy any. I will check again as wireless probes would be somewhat easier. I also have two Meater + probes (the single ones) and I've had a terrible time with dropouts and being unable to reconnect. They're great when they work, but that's only about 1 time in 10 in my experience. I've stoipped using them. Cheers, Paul.
