I have good news for you all.. It does not belong to any of them. It's at a house in Malibu that belongs to a singer. They must rent the property to shoot there. These reality shows BS about places belonging to them all the time.

Cheese, pepperoni, veggie pizza. Nailing the crust lately with a few minor recent changes, most notably brushing olive oil on dough crust and then also when taking the dough ball out I’ve been holding the ball with my fingers on the outside edges hanging it vertically and slowly spinning the dough and letting gravity help distribute the dough evenly

We had a grand total of 2 community COVID cases diagnosed this week, so the State Government declares the capital city plus 3 surrounding Shires will be locked down at 5pm for 3 days( Thursday before Easter Friday). What do 2 million people within the lockdown area do? Drive to the coast outside the lock down area. This is Tugun on The Gold Coast.... with a full moon rising over The Pacific Ocean. It’s a beautiful still night. It’s normally a 50 minute drive. Today it took 3 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

*whew* My self esteem is restored and KK’s are off the market. 😎

Ahh Shucks... Thanks for the kudos Curly, great to see you here, I hope your wife will let you drop in from time to time. As you can see Curly has logged almost 2,500 posts.. he's spent some time on this forum albeit 14-16 years ago.. Welcome home my friend..

Ha. All our prejudices are wonderfully illustrated by this thread. The young “grasshopper” brings us a story we oldies would never have found ourselves, we hate it because it brings our precious club into contact with the world of the nouveau riche, we hope that it turns out that the Man owns the tool and rail at the fact that a woman might afford to get someone else to do her barbecuing for her. I love it. Long live our weirdly wired human brains.

My wife was watching T.V. and I spotted a beautiful Komodo Kamado on Keeping Up With the Kardashian’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OK, I've not been to the forums for years. But a year or so I was having a problem holding a low and slow on my 15 year old KK and I posted to Dennis. Darned if he didn't call me to walk me through a fix. Turned out to be nothing more than un-attach and re-attach my gasket with some heat resistant silicon. Well, I did loosen the top to make sure it was square. The very next cook I set it to 225 and it never moved. I've cooked butts and ribs since then with no effort at all. I've known Dennis since he was just getting started with the KK business (16-18 years ago?) and know him to be an incredible business savie person and a man of great personal integrity. I don't know how much time he has spent helping me over the years but if he does that with all of his customers, and I'm sure he does, I don't know how his wife has not left him for neglect by now. Me and the other Kamado owners (the business he saved to become KK) gave him heck at first because we thought he may be a charlaton like the former owner, but no one ever regrets doing business with Denis, he will find a way to right any perceived wrong. So Dennis, this post is basically a shout out to you and to let you know how much I have always appreciated your customer service, I rate it 100%. Thanks again, Kurt

Well I guess I can stop chuckling over the imagined call Dennis took for that sale: (imagine vocal fry voice) hello Dennis, my name is Kim, I’m a social media influencer and I have a business proposition for you...

Wait. Who’s the singer?

I second that emotion. Gorgeous.

Beautiful.

That is some impressive crust! I will be trying that next time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I'm thinking my next attempt will be grilled over wood using the Weber kettle whilst waiting on the pending Santa Maria grill.

No no no no no Tekobo. Just when I forgot how bad The Sun was- one step away from a Viz Mag. Was that story followed up by a man falling pregnant to an alien? I can’t imagine what they are writing about Harry and Whatshername! The 4 K’s! [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I give it a 7-8 out of 10. My first brisket in a while..but I am my own worst critic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pizza night

16oz ribeye, dry aged for 32 days, roasted with mesquite and reverse seared. I used a small MSR smoke pot for the mesquite (I'll use the bigger MSR for long cooks - the small one would probably be sufficient for those too but i have to justify having both!). Storms were rolling thru the area so i rushed the roasting part of the cook and didn't get as much mesquite flavor as i had hoped. Also planned on grilling the veggies as well but did them in the vermicular kamado due to the storms.

I agree with all of you, it’s a stupid show. I’m thinking there is prob other high profile people who have KK’s. Sad thing is those women on the show probably have never even used it. If it does get used it is prob by some chef who they hired to cook for them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Steel, when heated to high temperatures, like in the firebox of the KK, will discolor like that. No worries.

And with that information, I'd like to announce that both of my KK's and ALL accessories are now up for sale.

Cooked Hispi cabbage on the grill grate and finished it off in La Chamba roasting pan, alongside some sous vide potatoes. Seasoned the cabbage with some Mexican oregano, champagne vinegar and salt and pepper rub to cook it and then poured on some bagna cauda sauce to soak into the crevices in the cabbage towards the end of the cook. Super delicious. Sliced up like a nice piece of meat. Served with a deep fried whole sea bass.

Couple of top Loins tied & Spun on the 23” , Olive oil and bit of dry seasoning , cooked lid down at 550f for an hour, plenty of smoke ! opened lid to flame and finished for 30mins with a sprinkle of Sea Salt to help get that crackling going [emoji39] . Carved and served with some fluffy white buns & some delicious sage stuffing . Yum .... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
