Peruvian’ish Dizzy Chook underway. Made a marinade of lime juice, garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil. Let that sit under the skin for an hour, then a heavy coat of Dizzy Pig Peruvianish. Spinning with a bit of apple wood. To be served with a homemade spicy mayo.

So it is done. The piece had to be taken completely apart, re:drilled with new larger biscuits, and the legs were trashed, then replaced with new stock. The color scheme was changed and handles were added for bar towels and to easily aid in transport with two people, then a couple of new/old signs were added. Bottle openers were placed on every corner and the inside was cleaned throughout. That tank on the inside was first described as galvanized steel but when it wouldn't hold a magnet it turned out to be solid copper with a tin covering. The soldering covering all the exposed edges were so well done and waterproof no repairs were needed. Backyard furniture that will serve a purpose. While that was going on I um, made a brother to keep it company. This is a cooking table for cast iron made from wood and covered with a 1/8 or 3/16 in sheet of bronze on the top. Generally you find them made simply all from metal but I happened across some marinite board and used that as a heat shield under the bronze. Any wood contact with the bronze was insulated with woven glass gasket covering. Marinite board is a product looking similar to gypsum board but it is a calcium silicate. The similarities stop at appearence because a 4x8 sheet of this runs around $750. No worry, I acquired it from a trustworthy source for change. When I showed my wife the addition she replied, "What a nice bar." Well, I thought ok, a bar and a cooking surface. I have plenty of marinite, so a piece will be cut to protect the bronze surface when cooking is needed and removed to act as a bar otherwise. Backyard furniture with some technical additions.

Well, when it rains all day, you go to Plan B. Lobster roll (butter poached lobster w/tarragon, thyme and Old Bay) and shrimp salad (butter poached shrimp with a mayo dressing of dill, chives, red onion, celery and Old Bay). Both seafoods were cooked sous vide. Paired with homemade potato chips cooked in the air fryer, with rosemary olive oil, Old Bay and flaked sea salt. So what pairs with that – Bubbly! Trader Joe’s bubbly is decent and it’s like $13!

23" Ultimate Komodo Kamado for sale:  $3,500. Color: Gray & Coral / Chevron pattern Bought this new in 2010 from Dennis. Was under canvas cover until 2012, then has lived under pavilion roof and canvas cover. Very clean, excellent shape, has one dinged tile that I hit when I unloaded it in 2010. The dinged tile is a cosmetic issue only. All three original grates, one round drip pan, one round heat deflector stone & new blue cover. I added the main lid 'D' shaped gasket in ~2014. You will need to have a lift gate truck.

Looking great @Tyrus. I would ask you to put this into a sports bet in the hope of acquiring it and getting it to the UK - in a heartbeat. What are you using the cast iron pot for?

That came out looking fantastic. Something to be proud of for sure.

Another thing I noticed is they had numerous Mexican dishes on the menu but no sides that would go with a Mexican dish. Mash potatoes and gravy doesn't go well tacos..... Just sayin.

Same as Dennis better off with the bigger motor Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk

Lol you a probably right . I tried them when I was in Vegas could not stop laughing with the theme they had going Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk

Yup.. I'd definitely go the larger motor. That cradle is massive, better to have more torque than not enough.

Thanks, All! The chips were very good. Will do this again, even though it takes some effort. Russet potato sliced about 1/16" thick - cut with the mandolin. (You get a lot of chips from a single medium sized spud!) You need to soak the potato slices in water for 30 minutes and change out the water at least twice and "fluff" because they have a tendency to stick together. Blot them dry on paper towels. Then tossed in a bit of seasoned oil. Into the air fryer @ 330F for 30 minutes, shaking/stirring every 10 minutes to promote even browning. Then tossed again in the bowl with oil and seasoned.

For a side bar story - A couple of weekends ago me and Mrs skreef were in town and wanted a reasonably decent lunch. We decided on Outback Steakhouse. It was a really crappy meal but that's another story. My point to this is when we got back in the car I mentioned to Mrs skreef that thanks to Aussie I am quite positive I have more Australian ingredients in my pantry then they had in that entire "Outback" restraunt. Won't be going back there any time soon.

My work is done.

If I lived at MacKenzie's house....I would weigh 400 lbs!!!!!!!!!!! Yum!!!!

I had a craving for mac & cheese yesterday so I got out 3 different cheese, 2 different cheddar's and one Monterey Jack with peppers. One of the cheeses had an advantage as I had previously smoked it.:) Then I had some chicken wings thawing and thought they go with mac & cheese, tons of comfort food. This has nothing to do with the miserable weather we have had for day, even snow the night before. Mac & Cheese ready for the oven. Baked. Wings coated with corn starch and potato flour, ready for the air fryer. Wings are ready. Dinner is plated.

Looks tasty as Mac fear not Pepperberry will soon hit your shores. Lol Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk

She’s a beauty alright ! As much as I’ve enjoyed reading all these posts from our friends across the pond doing these awesome Briskets [emoji67]‍[emoji505] , tonight belongs to a simple couple of 3” T Bones with a coating of Black Pepper & Garlic. Gonna flame these bad boys and go get myself a nice Rioja . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2nd Update ! Unpacking Yes the Hyab had limited reach and couldn’t get it onto the flags so left me short by 4m or so , couldn’t obviously let the casters land in the gravel so I enlisted the help of a friendly neighbour who is one of those engineering thinking type of guys [emoji56] So we set to work building a step by step same level walkway all the way to the patio area eliminating the need to push it up hill . Thanks Frank [emoji2]. Removing the block footings that hold each foot of the 42” in place was the next job to release it from the Pallet. Honestly and thanks to Dennis and Rini at the factory you can’t believe how safely and securely this thing has been packed . Now the excitement was starting to build and I have resisted the temptation to rip off the cling film of this great beast and see her undressed in her true glory . I knew it wouldn’t be long now . Her final destination is the bottom end of patio down a small gradient where I have a nice secluded leafy private area but enough was enough I had to see this thing now . So I just undressed her there and then stood back and just smiled at her in awe , my expectations were great and did not disappoint. After opening her up and removing the obscene amount of some of the heaviest grating I have seen I realised time was ticking on . The nights fading now here in UK but I was determined to get this thing lit and get some heat through it before the cook [emoji67]‍[emoji505] turns up tomorrow [emoji2]. She’s a true beauty . Still not decided on my first cook but you all will get a final update for sure soon [emoji16]. Wahoo . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
