I came across this artifact while scouring this second hand store looking for gems that may fit into the look I'm trying to capture for my new smoker pavilion. I see everyone going plush and modern with their outside areas however, I like and prefer the woodsy backyard look with a little rust. So here it is, an old fashion hand made cooler made from pine wood and galvanized sheet metal. It even came with a nice rusty coke sign. I almost died and went to heaven. The idea came from Aussie's venture out into the bush at a cookout in a remote area of snakes, lizards and old buildings about. Of course this project will require some restoration, the previous owner must have left it in a damp and wet cellar and the legs have rotted at the bottom and that paint color is two fingers in the throat. Just needs a little life breathed into it, to bring it to it's former glory. It now sits in the garage but it's at the top of the to do list and dripping with potential. $35

I just completed a meal that I now need to pretend I enjoyed thoroughly; we have all been there I am sure. The KK has its limits: I have discovered this tonight (I didn’t expect it to perform anything here;this is all my fault and I should have predicted this). The expression sh#t burger must have come from a similar origin. you can cook or you can’t; my Wife falls into the second category but likes to try. I got caught off guard this morning when she offered to make burgers and I would grill them for her: I think I was suffering heat exhaustion or something as this is one of her “special” recipes I try to avoid like a handgrenade dipped in aids. anyway: I thought I would share: recipe: who knows what the hell she put in Aside from really expensive ground beef and pork.i am pretty sure there was some flour or some crap, they looked like chicken before they went on the grill. the buns were hand crafted by her in the oven: I have no photos of these as they turned out like soggy cardboard (I am not sure how that is even possible). the worst thing about all of this is that she made enough I have to grill tomorrow again. Don’t fall into this trap: I am in a lose lose situation but it is a good reminder to keep her out of the kitchen and away from my grill. the beers were bloody awesome though

Those patties don't look so good. I bet it took lots of beers to washdown those burgers!

Tried it?? Their HQ is practically in my back yard. Some folks' cars are covered with pollen in the Spring. Mine is covered in Dizzy Dust.

While rummaging through a few old boxes I found these. The cooler had a old Samuel Adams opener on the left. Yours with the white backdrop is unique, I have one new still in the box with original screws and an old used one. Thought I'd show you and may I mention a nice clock also.

Surf and Turf on the Konro. This is my preferred method for steak kabobs. Start by cooking your steaks low-n-slow until an IT of 110*.     Let them cool. Trim the edges, cube them, then marinade them a bit.  Steak kabobs and small dwell in the shell lobster Tails ready to go. Meanwhile I had some green beans going on the KK. A few on grill shots. Done this way the steak kabobs end up a nice md rare with just the right amount of char. With Baked Apples a la mode for desert. 

Those look fantastic

I really like that old vintage stuff. I've done quite a bit of woodworking but no restoration. I think you're on the right track with cutting the bottoms off the legs and replacing using dowels/glue.

I put a couple of slices of the Japanese Milk bread to good use this morning- Egg salad sandwich-

Great find mate I'm sure it will spruce up good.or you could send it to .http://www.ricksrestorations.com Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

I have one of those I got from a vending machine. Will have to find it. It's buried somewhere Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

While we are talking about old Coca-Cola items........ I had a small wall area in the game room that would fit an old vintage Coca-Cola thermometer. Every one I came across was in rusty crappy condition for $75 - $100. One day I was at a small, private, Coca-Cola advertising museum. Very small museum in an antique mall - just a museum, nothing for sale. I got talking to the museum owner complimenting him on his Coca-Cola advertising collection and what I was trying to find for my game room. He then sold me this early 1950's Coca-Cola thermometer in great condition for $35. Very little rust or wear but the thermometer is cracked. Fortunately you can buy a replacement thermometer for a few dollars on the web. You just never know what you can find if you look carefully and talk to the right person.

Yay! I should spin some ribs with that. Dizzy Pig on a dizzy pig!

Ever since I spun that chicken(Update I just remembered I roasted it on the regular grate, no spinning involved except in my head.) about a week or ten days ago I've waiting for the day that I make this- a hot chicken sandwich and in this neck of the woods it must be served with peas. There are from last years garden. For all you ketchup lovers- Plated.

Yum. . . . Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

My wife is in the “make your burgers with lots of mix-ins and overhandle the meat” camp as well. Mostly inspired by Food Network recipes from decades past. She enjoys it. We roll with it. For me, the perfect burger is the one I grind myself from a mix of beef cuts (or just chuck), then gently handled.

Almost there. ..looking good..and the salad.as always go dee Outback Kamado Bar and Grill
