Well, for this week anyway. Wife: I've had it with you! I can't believe you forgot my birthday for the fifth time! I think a divorce is in our future. Husband: I'm sorry, dear. It won't happen again. I'll get you tickets for the upcoming NASCAR event. How's that? Wife: You'll do better than that. I've been wanting my own race car for years. A fast one too. Husband: You can't be serious. Wife: Tomorrow afternoon, there better be something in the driveway that can go from zero to 200 in less than 5 seconds. Period! Husband. Yes dear. So the next day the wife comes home and sees a package in the driveway. Thinking it's the keys to a race car she opens it to find a bathroom scale.

I cooked a rotisserie chook last night. I always love the results that the KK rotisserie gives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well there was another birthday in the family yesterday so the request from my sister was for chicken and a loaf of sourdough. The chicken was done at 400 indirect for an hour. They were good size birds, 5.5 and 7 pounds. I can’t take credit for the cupcakes. There is a local place that makes those just fine without my help lol

About 3 hrs indirect at 315 degrees. Not quite as tender as low and slow but very good. Glazed with a Peach BBQ Sauce from a local farmers market.

@Jon B., @tony b, @Paul and @MacKenzie , shame on you for encouraging @Poochie by laughing at his terrible jokes. I showed the post to my baby brother and he laughed out loud. That is a sure sign of a terrible joke.

Tekobo goes to the local steakhouse and unfortunately for her, it’s Tony’s first night as a waiter. Tekobo: I’ll have the 8oz fillet please Tony: Yes miss. Coming right up. As Tony is bringing the steak to her table, Tekobo gets annoyed. Tekobo: Sir, why is your thumb on my steak? Tony: So it won’t fall on the floor again, miss.

Ain't that the truth!!

That’s a great looking bird, and an interesting looking basket. Best of both worlds, spatchcock and rotisserie at the same time 😁

You're outnumbered. Sorry! And terrible is the only kind I know

Excellent looking birds from both of you!

Best of all it looks like super crispy skin. Win win!

Troble I’d say your birds have been sitting in a bath. All poultry in Australia has to be rinsed in a chlorine solution then rinsed again to kill salmonella. Health regs. I’m not sure if this happens elsewhere. The bottom half of yours seem more waterlogged than the top. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Color is the hardest choice especially because it really is personal preference. Nobody is going to tell you one over the other (except for team bronze) because they are all amazing, especially when seen in person. Pick your color with certainty over all else. After you order you are going to have a few months of anxious and exciting wait time, where you’ll dive deep into this forum and others, end up spending more than your wanted on accessories both from KK or another party, and ultimately build your excitement for delivery day. You don’t want to taint that experience by ogling other colors, second guessing yourself and creating buyers remorse for something you don’t even have yet. It will be a waste of your time and nerves, because no matter what you end up with you will love. The ooos and ahhhs at other colors and how good they look never goes away. It is why we all are genuinely excited for each new owner on the forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This group rates an A+ for spending other people's money. Yeah, I'm guilty as charged. But you can't buy the wrong thing here. Let your significant other, buddy, pal, life partner pick out the color. There aren't any bad colors.

I’m pretty certain Dennis told me that he only does one grout colour. That said, he may have been trying to help me focus!

Used my newly delivered Peruvian spices, also used my favorite dark/stout beer Alesmith Speedway Stout and use aji amarillo instead of jalapeños for the green sauce. Very authentic and extremely good

In my ongoing quest to tick off each major type of KK cooking- tonight was time to spin the first chickens. Thanks @Troble for the excellent recipe... Not able to source the proper chilis here in Melbourne at present, but we made do. Enjoyed a barrel-aged Firestone Walker (recently acquired a mixed 24-pack of historical releases from those guys)- happy days! IMG_3063.MOV

Surf & Turf night. Seafood truck came to town and I loaded up on fresh shrimp. Surf = bacon wrapped shrimp with cajun seasoning & a slather of sauce. Turf = Denver steak with Dizzy Pig Raising the Steaks. Direct, lower grate, mesquite wood chunks. The "washed out blob" in the pic is the slice of rustic Italian bread from the local bakery - one of my favs! Plated with a nice baked spud, shrooms, and side salad. Decent Beaujolais to wash it all down with.

Pizza again. Typical kitchen sink style, 500° KK dome, 485° baking steel, 6 - 6.5 minutes. Per previous comment, note deflector(!) in use under the baking steel on upper grate.

Apparently I did not eat enough Mexican food last week although to be fair I did not have one carne asada taco…..my wife had family in from Peru today so I made carne asada tacos. Flour tortillas, salsa rojo, salsa verde, guacamole, refried beans, cotija cheese and homemade marinated carne cooked over mesquite wood
