Happy Aussie day, just cracking into my first beer, about to fire up the Kamado

Same here, nice and close to the beach and very luckily we have a pool, in and out of this all day:

Oi Oi Oi to all the Aussies on here have a great one Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Your not Australian if you don't eat lamb on Australia Day what a joke we eat it every other day lol so got a sholdarthis was last minute for me usually I go to the butchers being a public holiday they were all getting pissed some where so the supermarket saved the day trimmed of the heavy fatgave it some oil and bush rubgot Ora going and threw on the smoking pot with pear this has been giving me dramas lately I tried wholemeal flour and it worked on goes the lambthree hours in check out my vent strings quarter up top and a whisker down the bottomit's so amazing currently sitting at 173 amino for 203/5 stay tuned Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

I love sweet potatoes and when I do this recipe I will bake instead of boil preserves more of the taste and sweetness! Garvin Ingredients for 8 large, 16 medium, or 32 slider-sized rolls: For sponge: 1 package (2 1/2 tsp) dry active yeast (I used Fleischmann's “RapidRise” Yeast) 1/2 cup warm water 1/2 cup AP flour Then add: 1 cup mashed orange sweet potato (also sold as yams) 2 tsp honey 1 1/4 teaspoons fine salt 1 large egg 3 tablespoons melted butter 3 to 3 1/2 cups flour AP flour, as needed to form the right texture dough (see blog post) - Bake at 400 F. for 15 minutes, or until browned. Large buns may take an extra few minutes, and the sliders-sized may take a minute or two less.

sorry for the thread derail ^ a set of sieves, like these, would provide the answer you are looking for regarding what your Pharos is doing ...

Is that a Sierra Nevada pale ale in that pint from Northern California? I love their pale ale!

I shot more gophers with that gun than anything else, but we did live in the middle of nowhere. You could never be sure what was going to pop out of the bushes, some amusing and some not so amusing. Main home, guest house and sauna.

My sieve finally arrived it has been on order for weeks and weeks. It is the only sieve I have that has a serial number. This is the one syzygies said that he likes for removing some of the bran from home-ground wheat berries when making flour. We had an 8-10 hours of freezing rain last evening which led to about 6 hours of no power and therefore no water. Today I spent quite a few hours getting the ice off the deck so I could get out to feed the birds and squirrels. Needless to say I was hungry afterwords that I thought the best thing to do was make a batch of homemade spaghetti and try the sieve out. Thanks, Syzygies.:)

First suggestion....................let your wife pick the color Second suggestion................matte black pebble (i'm color blind). Third suggestion..............if tiles............go with the terra cotta tiles. They give a little extra contrast to the color.

Got everything working. It took a while, but now that I have figured everything out, and have all the pieces, it is actually very easy to set up. Tried thighs the first night. Will go for a higher cook temp next time.and done. definitely the juiciest chicken I have ever tasted. Almost think it was too juicy. I didn't know this was possible. The next night I did a whole chicken and kept it at the same temp. Since this was a larger piece of meat it was cooked longer and I was happy with the results. looking forward to many more spins.

Trump may have put a gag order in but it happening people's lol Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Kewl gonna have to try that also thanks

Whatever you do Garvin do not leave the pickles out. [emoji16]

Garvin, that is a fantastic idea. Have to put that on my list. Thanks again.[emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

Both times, we were doing it "traditional" as shots - “gun bae!” I have also mixed it into various cocktails - watermelon seems to come to mind, as does apple juice. It's been a couple of years ago.

MacKenzie, I can't wait to make some but first this weekend Cuban bread/Cubano sandwich doing the whole thing this Sunday! Your bread and sandwich inspired me!! Garvin

Those buns sure look tasty and the recipe is very similar to my bun recipe but with the addition of the sweet potato. I can see me making those. Thanks for this recipe.[emoji3]

I stink at this but just for fun..................

That series of photos that Bosco Posted are good examples of what color contrasts can do, especially since they are all in home settings with the various backgrounds. Against the forest give one look, against a brick wall gives a completely different look than against the shingle wall, etc. Tough choice!

Had that thought too. One possibility is to stick with a gold themed pebble, so they'd look like siblings. The options there are harvest gold, which might be too similar to my current, and cream and gold...which would meet your go lighter idea.

Pretty cool!

That thought was always on my mind. So, i made a 150,000 gallon reservoir (15ft deep) and alway had 30 minutes of air in a scuba tank sitting close to the pond in an outbuilding so i could jump in and let the fire crown. I also had a bulldozer and maintained 2 exit roads down the mountainside on 2 different slopes, a south slope and a north slope. The only thing better would have been a helicopter From that location I could walk, ride motorcycle, etc. 80 miles north, 35 miles east and 6 miles south without hitting another paved road or public road, only logging roads and not many of those. We had bear, deer, mountain lion, bobcat, martin, fox and all manner of small things and flying things. Grouse quail and pigeon were all edible and when the pigeons had been stuffing themselves on blackberries they were pretty tasty.

I really like the black with the combo, but I must say a lighter colour tera blue with the brown is on a entirely different level of luxury and class. Brown and blue just seems to be the new peanut butter and jam. Look at business suits and shoes now. Everyone is wearing the brown shoes with blue suits. Years ago people would have said that you were crazy. I really like this combo and since you are not looking to add a table I think this is the route I would go personally. The black is still a good option though

Dennis has already sent me pics of the full stock. Didn't even have to ask I do like my olive & gold a lot, but not going to go there. Partly because...what if I add a 19" in the future? Then I need to match three grills. You've actually hit most of my thoughts on this: Same side tables. Probably pebble, but flexible on this. Black pebble is where I'm leaning. Harvest gold is another thought I had. Same earthy feel as my olive & gold, but with enough contrast that it stands apart. Terra blue is my third thought. I like it, but leaning toward the others. Cobolt blue is the one color that I don't think works there. I like the color, but not in my setting. So...I'm leaning toward black pebble. It would look like a black bear, which is pretty commonly spotted in the Virginia blue ridge.

Sure looks fantastic from where I sit.:)

Well I will say that the colour you have will be the easiest to match and my OCD argues for you to try at least. But with that said... you are not planning on joining them together so this may not bother me as long as they are on different spots on the deck. If they are side by side, I think you really need to stay the same. Dennis can send you better photos of inventory to help you decide (he did that for ckreef) if you insist on opposing colors I think at the very least you need the side tables for both to help link them and you need to stay in the pebble persuasion i think black pebble with your harvest pebble would be nice as well. That is what ceramic chef has so look back at his photos and you can see that contrast. As for the next possible color. I think the harvest pebble blends well into your earthy environment and something that feeds well off of that neutral pallet is the terra blue. I will find a picture from gofroz who has that combo and they really do look amazing together. If you don't care about cosmetically matchingdofferent colours up then I say go for colbolt blue as it it one of my most favourite ones.

Miyabi is owned by Zwilling. When Zwilling wanted to branch out into Japanese knives they decided to change the brand name so their Japanese lines wouldn't be confused as German knives. Either way they are all hand made in Japan but they are made with very exacting standards and have very modern packaging.

Lol that's a good one

Sounds like a plan to me lol I'm trying to get my act together to visit my sister who lives in Minnesota in August bugger visiting her now not into cabin fever lol .but the coin I save could mean another KK instead .bugger Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

That is sucluded you would be screwed if a bush fire went through there Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Nothing better than great tools.. Love the Japanese ones too.. Congrats on your new acquisition!

About the same here I reckon it's going to pass 40 I'm in Port Kennedy but 5 min from the beach so just around the car for a swim Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Awesome! One of, if not my favourite thing lamb shoulder on the kamado!

Just put my smoking pot in for thislamb sholdar Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Tried a new recipe yesterday and made 8 sub buns. Gave 4 to the neighbours and kept 4. Today it was time to make a sub sandwich with some previously KK cooked chicken breasts, Canadian Bacon and smoked cheddar cheese. Starting to build- Build is done. Time to eat.

Partly I don't think I'd find a perfect match and the differences would annoy me. Partly I think the contrast would look good. Partly there are a lot of KK colors I like. Fun to branch out.

This one?

That looks like a nice utility stove! I lived without electricity for 20 years, in the woods, so there was a supply of fuel as well as game if necessary. I ended up using solar panels for 12VDC television and radio and chargers. Worked great with no complaints from me. This was all cast iron firebox and oven and top grill, doors and warming shelf and the rest was just porcelain enameled steel. Great stove, and it too was NOT portable. The green heater had 2 cooking grates on top and it too was all cast iron., as well as a fireplace.

i do like that black pebble i am just curious why not get the same color it would be a toss up to me but i would be leaning to match them just my 2 cents

From those pixs I would pick the black tile.[emoji3]

With your background I would go with the black pebble and it will match pretty good with what you already have. Garvin

Come up in the summer and bring the family...............then we can go out on the lake..........after our KK meal !!!!

Tuesday afternoon cook...........Chicken breasts for lunch salads. Williams Sonoma Smokehouse rub and smoked with the whiskey barrel wood Bosco gave me. Starting to get this chicken thing down.

That looks pretty good cheers for the recipe I met these Japanese tourists in town one day and they were lost as I had the day off I said I would show them the sights of Perth in their hire car they totally loved it little did I know they were high executives looking into our iron ore industry and we're staying at the best place in town after the day they invited me back to the hotel and pulled out some sake they had brought with them from japan let's just say we all got pissed had a great night and I passed out on the floor lol Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

looks like mucho skill to keep the angle consistent ...

I have written Dennis privately for advice on the best gasket retrofit for my 2009 23" KK Ultimate. For indoor ovens, a common warning that comes with using ample steam is possible damage to the oven. Electronics? Glass door? Hasn't been my problem. For a KK, the gaskets are perhaps the most vulnerable component. When steam condenses back to water, it transfers a massive wallop of energy; that's why steam burns are so dangerous. Perhaps the KK gaskets are glued on fine for normal use, but can't withstand constant bombardment by steam. I'm too hooked on bread to give up this practice, I'll figure this out, but in the interest of full disclosure I wanted to raise this possible issue.

Today I had a nice conversation with Dennis. At the beginning of the conversation he asked if I had received the teak handled grill grippers yet. I told him the package was delivered today but I was not home from work yet. We talked about a lot of things and we talked about my upcoming KK purchase. Along the way I asked about a 16.5" grill shaped dip pan. He told me, "Maybe I'll surprise you one day." I got home today to a rather big package from Dennis - way bigger than grill grippers. Opening that box was like Christmas in October. First up is the grill grippers. TY Bryan for the great pizza contest prize. Also included was a 16.5" basket splitter. And the star of the show was a 16.5" grill shaped drip pan/deflector. He wasn't wrong when he told me he would surprise me one day. I am totally excited about this and it will get used on a regular and constant basis. After all that I was left speechless. I knew the grill grippers were coming but I had no idea about the other items. KK's and Dennis - the finest kamado, person and company to deal with. I am so glad I went KK instead of a Primo.
