Thanks, I'm really happy with the setup. I spend a good majority of my time out there. I've been working on a few enhancements to the tiki bar side of the kitchen. I carved this one for the corner beside the bar. new tiki

My favorite part too. He’s head of security.

We purchased the house off 3 brothers- their father built the house. The 3 brothers lived through WWII and between the 3 of them they had 3 legs. The last brother alive had 2 legs! Do the maths. When we moved in, the toilet in the house had a dirt floor. This was considered a step up from the original long drop in the back corner of the garden. Tough to access during thunder storms! Is there something about old men and young men where they cant aim straight? Man that dirt floor absorbed everything. Could have bottled it and sold it to a footy player for a half time wake up! For 2 years after we moved in the old fella would pop up in the back yard out of habit and walk into the back door.To him It was still his home. We didn't mind, he was a pretty good bloke and he filled us in on the history of the area while i made him a cuppa.

We moved in 20 years ago when the house used to look like this from the street. It now looks like this from a slightly different angle Fell out of love with the house over the last few years so the new ODK and KK is like a renewal of vows. Looking forward to revisiting the honeymoon!!!

Ground some Durum wheat berries to make flour for today's spaghetti. Made a batch of meatballs, fortunately the sauce was made a few days ago.:)

Thanks, MacKenzie. I really enjoy being able to eat outside in the summer. Unfortunately here that only means 4 months out of the year! Another nice evening and dinner on the deck. 3-legged chicken this time, with local corn (awesome!) and risotto with Boursin cheese. Direct @ 375F, with cherry wood. On the deck for dinner.

Another tasty meal, Tony, your pix is sure setting the mood.

I live in middle GA, USA. We're 80-90% humidity year round. Humidity is not the issue,rain is the issue. Mine are under a covered porch so the only time they get rain is in a very hard blowing thunderstorm, maybe a few times a year. I don't have covers and I've never worried about it.

Yes tony b the roti with cradle and forks. With the ODK the KK should be in shade for 97% of peak summer days and 100% in winter. Like North America, our climate varies significantly from one end to another. Humidity is my biggest concern and I can't see that the cover will change this and I take comfort knowing the KK is built and tested in Indonesia.

Did a couple of pork chops last night with roasted fingerlings and haricot verts. Direct @ 375F. Cherry wood chunks. Sauce on the pork chops was a homemade raspberry BBQ sauce. Plated with some nice black pepper Boursin cheese on the potatoes and chopped pecans on the pork chops.

Thanks and right back atcha!
