My 8 year old son talked me into a midlife crisis car....So we went to the factory and spent 2 days watching them build her. I got to start her on the line.

One of my hobbies is coffee roasting and trying to make good espresso with it.

Best BBQ song ever on youtube..

Yeah, if I don't get a fair offer, I'll just keep it. Oh darn, I've got to keep a super nice kamado. First world problems, right? lol

I did another run on the pressure cooker fries. The results were just like the last batch, tender crispy fries. Recipe Using Russet Potatoes: Cut the fries. Soak in cold water to remove some of the starch. Pressure cook for 2 mins, level 1, normal release. Set them on a rack to cool and dry. Deep fry at 375F until golden. Blot off the fat and sprinkle with salt. I have leftover pc cooked potatoes so I will freeze and save for later. A little closer so you can see the fries. Tony, I hope you have a chance to try these. Your pc time might be different but the principle should be the same.

The KK will sit on the opposite side of the wall from the Lever espresso machine.

Lots of fun to be had at that coffee bar.:)

Sorry, didn't realize you were going that far. I was looking at your picture and thought you were going to the area below and to the left of the garage. And the roof would definitely be a problem! Good luck and post some pictures! Best, Bill

I got an email from the freight company saying tentative delivery date is next Tuesday which is one week transit fron Ca. Got my wife primed to use the camera a lot.

Sounds like you have it all thought out. It will be worth the trouble

Hahaha thank you. Maybe it's like how some restaurants try to serve duck well done?? I get that everyone has their preferences but over cooked meat when that isn't what you like is just not good.

I highly recommend smoked lamb. Makes a delicious thing even better.

Dennis posted elsewhere that he recommends setting the lid down on a thick pad of blankets to protect the edges. If you have some thick slabs of styrofoam, that'd probably work, too.

I've always been called Tony. Only folks that ever called me Anthony were trying to get under my skin. I see your Brothers point!

I have my 19"KK on a rolling cart. It just about took off on me just rolling it down a landscape trailer ramp (18" drop over 3 feet). I would strongly recommend having your much heavier KK strapped and totally secured to a winch / car / come-along with a backup safety harness. Once that cooker takes off on you, there will be no stopping it. I was lucky that mine didn't slide off the cart. Slow and steady is the key to moving that cooker. Don't let it get off balance going up/down ramps/stairs. It was scary for a few seconds just going down 18". Your project would be a challenge for professional riggers.

That looks sooo good! As a person who has had family living in the Bayou country of Louisiana for 3 generations I can honestly say you know what is really good stuff!! Thanks for the thoughts and something to try when the Big 32 arrives.

Our first bit of Reef Swag got delivered today, 3oz whiskey shot glasses. Really kewl. Engraver did a decent job. I used a font called "belligerent" which is a slightly wacked out font to begin with . I think nice pocket T-shirts are coming next.

at home now....

Nice ride mk!! whats the HP and TQ? i just treated myself, not quite mid-life, but a long-time desire. New Telecaster, butt custom, the body made from Eastern Pine out of an old Grain Elevator that was built in 1870. It is made by a guy doing this type of work for over 40 years, and bonus - he is 10 minutes from my home.
