I have the same feelings, I've always wanted a wood fired clay pizza oven until now.

on that pizza! I told you, croadie, that you would be amazed at all you can do on a KK! Everyone is when they first get one.

Don't bother soaking your wood, if wood soaked up water it would sink. Temperature control is airflow, pure and simple. Stick with lighting a small amount of fire, and controlling it with your vents, realizing that it's easy to control a fire as the temp goes up, but about the only way for the temp to go down is to put the fire out. <br /> <br /> <br /> Rob

I agree with what everyone said about the vents. By 200* you should have it shut down to 1/4 turn top vent and just a hair line crack in the bottom. I also thought way to big a piece of smoking wood. Raw wood tends to burn hotter and you have less control. If you want that much smoking wood break it up into 3 or 4 smaller pieces spread a little bit apart so they are all not burning at the same time. Great looking KK - Love the color.

ColoradoRick, welcome, I have the same grill, a 21 inch, love it. What colour did you get, and as you can understand some of us are imagination challenged and would like to see pixs of your setup and food. One thing I thought I'd mention, do you know there are 2 positions for the lid, one is just a catch and the has the locking lever pushed all the way in.

Delicious! Love the lamb.

Hitting your stride, croadie!

Congratulations croadie! You're off to a big start and I can tell you already have the "fever"! The first time I had eggplant prepared as you showed was at a little "Mom & Pop" sushi spot in Carmel: Akaoni. Per your words: Its creamy, sumptuous and very close to working for dessert. When pomegranates were in season, a couple months ago, I made a "pomegranate molasses", following a recipe I have, and did the same thing with the eggplant. As you stated: It gets folks eating eggplant that otherwise would turn their nose up! Welcome to the family! Dan

What ckreef said..very ambitious and do tell the particulars about the eggplant, looks awesome!
