Hello All, Have been lurking on the site for some time reading everyone's posts on the KK and cooking on it. So decided to join the community when I took delivery of the 23" KK post Thanksgiving. Have to say I was amazed by the sheer size of it (seeing it in person) and the manner in which it was packed for shipment. As it had been raining quite a bit in N.Cal it took me awhile to unpack and move to the deck. Even with help and removal of the lid for transport, it was still heavy. I surely was/am glad that it has wheels which makes it easy to move around the deck as needed. Looking forward to trying many of the recipes and techniques mentioned in the forum. -Stephen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Won't be doing any KK-ing for the next few days. After an exceedingly mild December, January has hit full force. 8 inches of the white stuff last night and the high temp tomorrow is only going to be MINUS 7F (wind chills in the 25F BELOW ZERO range). Winter's Here!! On the bright side, my Yellow Jackets thumped poor Miss St. on NYE. Enjoyed that one after the heartbreaker to the SemiHoles in the ACC Championship game. High hopes for 2015!!

You guys have probably noticed, unless you get your yardbird from a local farmer that raises and harvests them right, chicken is mostly devoid of flavor these days. Yes even the stuff at Whole Foods, etc. Not that long ago one could buy fryers, roasters and older stewing chickens that at least tasted like, well, chicken! Turkey is great except mericans won't buy it unless its immediately either side of Thanksgiving. And that means frozen for the rest of us outside of T-day. <sigh>.

Great minds think alike CC. I did a similar cook this weekend with a smoked turkey roast. Sorry no pics. How did you like it? Wasn't this your first turkey roast?
