More pizzas tonight on the 42. Delicious as always. I think these KK pizza stones are by far my favorite that I own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A special breakfast this morning, a double yolk egg, one with Black Urfa Chili, one with Silk Chili and both with Zanibar Black Pepper. Also KK breakfast, homemade sourdough bread, fresh greens and ripe cherry tomatoes from the garden.

Yes, the more sensible choice would be the 32. However, my heart is with the 42. So, it's not you 32, it's me.... I contacted Dennis and changed my order to a 42 SBB in Terra blue!!!! . My countdown now begins. I feel like a kid counting down to Christmas. Thanks a lot everyone! So many helpful comments and ideas. Couple things that swayed me to change my 32 order to the 42: 1. YOLO 2. The fact that as awesome as the 32 is/would be, I would always have the 42 in the back of my mind. "if I had just...." 3. If I ever decide to get another KK, I can always pair with a 21 or 23. 4. Like someone said above, this is not a sensible purchase. After all, We're talking about the most overbuilt grill in the world. So I followed my heart for this one. I will post some pictures when I get it.

I got mine to 900 the other day on accident. Having three kids, twins under six months and a three year old, led to a series of multitasking that distracted me. I realized that it was too hot when after 30 minutes the thermometer still read 200. I quickly smothered the fire trying to get it under control. After a few minutes (here is where most of you are probably thinking "Hes not going to open the grill. There is no way he is that stupid.") I opened the grill to check the fire. As I was opening it, a brief thought crossed my mind, like a whisper of cloud on a bright summer day. The thought was of something I read in a grill manual once about back drafts. I heard a small "woumpf" and thought oh yes there it is. I quickly realized as I was briefly engulfed in flames that was NOT the full backdraft. After a loud expletive all that was left was the smell of burnt hair. One side burn and eyebrow look like they got a bad perm and my left arm hair is considerably shorter. Needless to say, I am a little wiser now after having gone through that. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

See you played that dance music, should have put on a little Barry White and the corn would have been left alone. Granted the population explosion would be a "next year" problem, but by then you would have figured out how to move them along!

Actually I have tried playing the radio all night in my corn patch. When I got up the corn was gone and it seems they made a patch to dance in while eating my corn.

I happened upon this industrial crucible approx 3 years ago and found a place for it along side a shed, it was tightly covered it to the weather and was unwrapped today. When I placed it there it was in perfect shape and coincidently it had never been used. The moisture extracted some of the iron along it's surface and it weeped out, no biggee. I was thinking of a Konro, already has a place to rest tools. Dimensions are HT 22" O.D. 16" I.D. 12.25" wall thickness 1and7/8" WT. incredibly heavy. It does have possibilities and potential. It's time to put it on the shop table and maybe you may have an idea. Please, no space shuttles or tea pot ideas. Thanks

I just had the most delicious supper, 6 cobs of picked today corn. This is especially for Tony, who loves corn on the cob as much as I do. Looks like 5 cobs but there are 6 here. Ready to inhale. End of story. Also tried a new sour to me sourdough recipe and even though I did make some mistakes it turned out, had a nice tang to it and I will do it again. There was mostly bread flour but some rye and some home ground whole wheat.

Tyrus that's a unique object and shape. What is it made of and what does it weigh? Do you know how it was suspended and tipped to pour?

O K Tucker you did an end around on me, no spaceships or tea pots.........didn't imagine lawn ornament. Actually I was thinking fire and BBQ for help. Well, excuse me if I didn't explain the purpose of a crucible..........it holds molten metals and can withstand an immense amount heat. OK we go forward from here, think BBQ, meat and if you have to, throw on some sauce, and that should keep everyone on track. Lawn ornament???,,,your killing me............gotta check if I'm on the right site YOU, we'll attend to later. You musta been a wrestler cause your always tag teaming up.

Good luck w/ Dorian he passed east of us thankfully, nothing more than a t-storm 'lite'

Looks fantastic MacKenzie! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Like how you drizzle your eggs. Something you may find in the Sheraton, you spoil yourself

Without a doubt

That lesson is likely burned into to your memory and not too much damage done, thank goodness.

SSgt, your pizzas look really delicious.

Awesome pizza money shot. What time does your restraunt open?

Play Canadian music...........that'll keepem at bay

When I was 16 I left Nigeria to visit a friend who lived in Kenya. I found it difficult to get my head around the fact that she said I was to bring socks and warm clothing. Cold? In Africa? I learned that lesson the hard way. You seem to be having similar difficulty with my current predicament. You have racoons. We don't and I don't think I have ever seen one in real life. What we do have are foxes (not interested in corn), pigeons (only interested in shredding my brassicas or pooing on them from on high if I put a cage around them - either way the pigeons win) and Fred the cat (mostly interested in cuddles). Oh yes, and rats. The rats are the ones that get the corn. My allotment neighbours seem to have successfully protected theirs with old socks. I don't have any old socks so I have ordered some cheap green socks in the hope that they will blend in. Will report on success or lack thereof.

I am still awaiting your missive regarding our bets for the upcoming season. I thought I might offer to get you a tablecloth in the event that I was to lose but given I am not planning to lose, relying on your daughter's kindness is your best bet.

Ireland? Madagascar? More like a very hungry monkfish.

Good looking pizza, nice variety. Dinner for two?

I was just thinking.....I would hate to live down wind from ckreef !!!!!! The great smells coming from his cooker(s) must drive the neighbors crazy.

Just about time to remove these pork butts and let them rest before pulling them. Hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A by-product of last week's sausage fest was loin of pork that I couldn't bring myself to mince to make sausages. We split it in two - one half for further aging and one half for bacon. I used my new molasses cure and left it in a vacuum bag for 8 days. Cold smoked yesterday using maple pellets. I just love the warming grate in the 23 for this application. I am amazed at how much bacon you can get out of just one half of a pig loin. Much happiness to follow.

Thanks fellas. I got it up to 750. I took the advice of leaving the vents wide open, used a MAPP torch, stoked it with a blow dryer. What I never have done is add more charcoal on top.

I use a MAP torch to light the center of the charcoal pile. I usually employ the basket splitter unless I am doing a lot of food. I use extruded coconut charcoal from amazon with pretty consistent success. I open the bottom vent to wide open, and the top vent to 1.5 turns for most cooks. This gets it to 400 degrees in about 20 mins. I am much more conservative (half to quarter open for bottom, and quarter to eighth open for top) for low and slow cooks. Hope this helps.

And? Last I checked lighting a charcoal grill was still a thing...LOL...or have I missed something new and the charcoal spontaneously combusts when you're ready to cook?

If there's a demand, Dennis will come up with something - just like he's done many, many times before!

Tucker, that is exactly what I was thinking the moment I saw it.

You could make a water feature out of it. Use it as the centerpiece w/ water running out of the spout

Sorry I only do odd with weird rub combos lol Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk

I'll take the coons over the rats any day. Actually the coons drove me out of raising corn. They come and rip a few cobs down to check it they are ready for eating and if not they leave and come back just the time you are ready to pick and they clean the whole patch out overnight. Short of an electric fence I don't know how to stop them from destroying a small home patch. If I grew an acre I might get some before they cleaned it.
