Tossed a Trader Joe's marinated (carne asada) roast on the KK the other night. About as simple as a cook can get! Add a nice salad, twice-baked (air fryer) spud, and some tasty red wine and call it dinner!

Thanks, CK, yes, I just lift the top off and set it on another rolling stand I have and that gives me another space to put things. The Konro stays inside the table the entire time. I can lift it out if I want to clean the cavity. I will take another pix when it's daylight. This top just lifts off if I want to get the Konro out or to check on things.

Tomorrow Syracuse University plays Clemson in Death Valley Stadium. Both teams are undefeated. Any KK Clemson fans willing to bet some of your best local or favorite seasonings on the outcome of the game?? I say Syracuse upsets the home team ! Al-comers.............................Post your acceptance of my challenge before game time and the bet is on. If SU wins.......you owe me a container of your favorite/local rub or sauce and if by some crazy chance my team loses........I will send you some of our local award winning Dinosaur BBQ rub or sauce. May the best team win!!!!!!!

Finally have my table finished. This is not meant to be sitting around although if you had stools you could sit around and cook. A good inch all way round, enough for fire protections and I can get my hand in to control the vents. If I find the wood is darkening I can put in some metal liners. Steak is on. Should have had a bigger fire though. If I find the shelf is getting burned from sparks I can have a piece of stainless steel cut to fit over it. Cooked a spaghetti squash and had planned on an air fryer baked potato but after an hour at 400F it was not cooked and the rest of dinner was ready.:( Drizzled maple syrup over the squash. Coals removed and Konro is cool so on goes the top to keep things dry.

Dinner is looking very tasty, Tony.

Thanks for all your notes of concern.. The 7.5 earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia today was far from Bali and the factory in Java.. We're all ok.

Smashed up some spices in the grinder tonight and dry rubbed a rolled pork shoulder. Turned out way too much food just for 4 of us but hey ho . I’m gonna have to put the brakes on cooking on this damn thing [emoji16] at least for a couple of days anyway ! Either that or start posting invites for the whole god damn street to call round [emoji23]. For sides did some Pak Choi / Spring Onions and a drizzle of Oyster Sauce . Cookers now redundant in the house [emoji536] 🤣. Microwave still operative for our 7 year old daughter . Having fun experimenting , Pizza next I’m told by the missus [emoji847]. Wahoo .

Looks awesome Tony

The table looks great MacKenzie

I'm off to heat up some leftover tri-tip for lunch!

Very nice table, MacKenzie!

Very nice Tony! Paired well with a nice glass of red too!

You have the nicest tables.

Nice looking table. The food looked great too.

Here are some shots showing the inside and the inside top. There is a ceramic tile in the bottom under the Konro. This top is very light and the outside top is not too bad either most of the wood is cedar. The outside top cover is waterproof as there is plywood under the cedar boards. The cedar is glued and screwed to the plywood.

I believe kick off is at noon..........Will accept any wagers up until then. We surprised them last year, up here in Syracuse. They are out for revenge!!!! Off to look at houses with my daughter....have a great day. Go Cuse!!!!!!!

Aussie.......You know this is American football and not soccer.. I accept your wager!!!!!!

Grant, The bet is on . The local rub/sauce is great on chicken...........but don't start counting them until they hatch .

I was looking at the teams I will take you up on the bet. I reckon Clemson for the win Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Glad you are back to post all about the breads I buy at the Wegman's bakery

Nice looking meaty slab of ribs. I'll bet they turn out great.

What can I say??? I like the idea of living hard and dying young but if I get to be your age I hope to be in a position to have just as much fun as you all seem to be having in your retirement.

@MacKenzie - these young whipper-snappers! 50 was so long ago!

first Brisket on the 42. ran with about 10lbs of coco charcoal and maintained 225 for 18hrs. I'm amazed at what these cookers can do! I took it to a party where it was sliced, very moist, but I failed to get the glory shot. Sorry about that!
