Started the day with two loaves of sourdough. Steamy in there without any extra moisture added. Both of the boys were rolling today. Roast beast on the 32 whilst the 23 cranked out the appetizers and sides.

Happy Holidays! We have enjoyed the 65f and sunny . . . so KK Pizza last night and holiday ham tonight.

A solid 7 cooking devices but up towards 10 depending on how generous I am with the counting. No need for a restaurant just use the best grill for the food I'm cooking, the current weather and how adventurous I want to go. You can never have too many although Mrs skreef would probably say otherwise. She keeps telling me I'm out of room. I keep promising no more grills. Truth be told I could easily squeeze in another 2 or 3.

Merry Xmas everyone, hope you’re all having a great time with friends and family over the holidays. We spent Xmas day at my wife’s family’s. they requested beef ribs which I’ve cooked before and they all loved them, needless to say that this time was no exception.

I must have been good this year because Mrs skreef came through on this one. Blackstone PROseries 28", 3 burner griddle. This was a huge upgrade from my 17", 2 burner table top griddle. Here are some random thoughts: Very well packed in the box. It said 30 minutes assembly time and that was spot on. #3 phillips and adjustable wrench was all that was needed. Powder coated gray finish. Very sturdy stand. 4" rubber tire casters makes moving it around very easy. Large grease catch for the rear grease drain. Grease catch pulls right out. You can get foil liners for the grease catch. Comes with 2 side shelves with a magnetic bar on one and a paper towel holder for the other. Both shelves have pegs that can be installed on the end to hang various utensils. Due to limited space I installed one shelf with the paper towel holder on the side that holds the propane tank. 3 long SS burners each with their own ignitor. The front orange Blackstone is NOT a sticker. It was CNC cut from the metal with an orange backing plate. Nice hinged lid. The cheapest part of the whole unit is the handle for the lid. Seemed a bit flimsy but once installed is more than adequate for the lid. Blackstone has come a long way with their advertisement stickers. I went through their sticker war when I bought a Blackstone Pizza Oven years ago (I almost lost that war - LOL - if you bought a Blackstone Pizza Oven years ago you'll know what I'm talking about). The advertisement stickers on this griddle easily peeled right off I am very pleased with the purchase. Decent quality for the price. Anyways I guess I need to get cooking some breakfast.

Ckreef, your not hard to buy for. I wouldn't say easily predictable but when it comes to BBQ toys the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. That offset your dreaming about is just down the road from you in Georgia where Lang has there business. To ship up north once you purchase costs approx 7-800$ a savings by living so close. Enjoy your toy Happy New Year

Thanks for all the valuable information everyone shares on this forum. I was well prepared for the delivery and setup. Thanks to Dennis for always responding to my questions. Received the 32BB on Monday 12/23. Tipped the friendly driver and he helped me roll it to my backyard gate. 1/2” plywood did the trick for easy rolling over my gentle slope. I had to uncrate for it to fit through my gate without removing the fence post. Slow cooked some ribs and quail for initial cook. Will do the burn in/venting tomorrow with rotisserie chicken and pizzas planned. D1BD169A-FEAA-4CC9-9863-FF56E76AB729.mov FBC57A3B-3A05-49A8-88FE-68678245A1E2.mov

That’s not a cookie sheet. That’s a baking steel. Once I reach 115 internal I remove the roast, crank the vents, then return it for a reverse sear into a beauuutiful, crusty exterior.

I don't pitch on this forum.. Lot of information in the FAQ section of the home page. Would he be able to convince you there is no difference between an utility car and a luxury performance one costing 4 times a much? And yes.. Of course someone knows how many grills are sold annually.. Send him this link.. Forbes Mag KK Review

Yes, what Tyrus said.

Charles, what a nice gift looks heavy duty! Can’t wait to see some cooks on it. And Merry Christmas

Ckreef I could see you needed another bbq. How many cooking devices now? You could do with a restaurant next so you get to use them all regularly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To be exact a offset vertical stick burner. KBC Karubecue C-60 - hopefully the winning scratch off lottery ticket is waiting for me in my stocking And of course a 42" KK but that would take a much bigger winning ticket.

Way to go Mrs. Reef! What DON'T you own now, ckreef?

Upper 50s!

Early on about 15 years ago.. I loaded up a 23's charcoal basket and then topped it off with 2/3 a volleyball volume on top, only large pieces. Had built a simple manifold in the front draft door for a full size leaf blower.. Fired that baby up without a damper top and after a few minutes we had a two foot rocket flame shooting out the top.. after 10 minutes the entire neck was glowing red. Grill survived the test and is still being cooked on by my security staff. Wish I had videotaped it.

You gotta love it Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk

Just what we need, two of them![emoji35] Go ahead rub it in about the sandy beaches and hot weather, I can handle anything especially a snow shovel. [emoji41]

Now @Aussie Ora has a partner in crime....sending thoughts of sandy beaches and warm winds....................... while we are freezing our toes off. @Basher That dastardly Aussie Ora also sends pictures of sky blue waters and sandy beaches along with the descriptions of summer fun. Have a great time!!!!!

13 lb turkey smoked yesterday for our giant Christmas day pot of Gumbo. Bones and a collection of veggie trimmings I've been saving for the last couple of weeks simmered down for the stock. Very tasty dinner last night. I think this is the prettiest bird I have ever cooked, spatchcock, grill settled in at 310 degrees, took about 2 1/2 hrs. Used peach as the smoke wood. Merry Christmas fellow KKer's

@Basher - just don't burn up in a wildfire.

I’ve been absent for a while, at least in the Forum, but not when it comes to having great fun with the 32” We had some pulled chicken some burgers being home alone, time for some short rib and a Duck oh and I made my first Turkey ever, now that one turned out just so da... delicious and, and, and…… I’ll just grab the opportunity to wish you all a Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year. HAPPY GRILLING IN 2020!

Neighbours over for Xmas drinks and a feed. Turned to this With some cheeky lamb ribs underneath..... Turned into this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A tad colder, but I did manage to get in a chicken cook for dinner last night. Both were spicy - on the left was a teriyaki (Adoboloco) and the right was mango habenero sauce (blend of Dinosaur and Melindas). Direct @ 375F over peach wood. I slashed the skin on the teriyaki one to allow it to penetrate better while marinating.

Aussie I’ve been watching this day night test match. Is this the fourth consecutive day with temperatures hitting 40 deg C in Perth? Those kiwis must be struggling with that given they have spent so much time in the field. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For Neapolitan pizza I recommend using a baking steel at 450º rather than my baking stone at 900º you will get the exact leoparding on your crust and bake times. Check out Kenji’s posts on Modernist Cusines page.
