  1. I can see the confusion. Some companies sell the basic package grill and everything extra. These cookers are sold as packages....and I don't recall ever seeing any repair parts requests before, except for some of the kamados. I know there have been freight damaged units, but I think the repairs and parts are usually handled by direct email to Dennis.

    However Dennis might need to develop something when he returns as I think he has gotten numerous requests for parts for the Kamados....and freight damage will probably recur. :twisted: I personally am getting a new lump basket from Dennis for my brother-in-laws K7

  2. Fast Freddie,

    Curly has a freight damaged unit, but I think it only needed tiles. I have seen a few freight mishaps offered, but not many. Best to email Dennis, but he may not be able to answer this week. Most times he is quite responsive, but he lost his dad this week.

    DJ (the forum police) is very familiar with the units and he might be able to help if he is not too busy re-locating my posts. :D

    Syzygies....I thought you were an east coast guy

  3. So Syzygies' hand is more beautiful than his mind! :D I can see where he'd have difficulty finding more work as a mathematicians' hand/stunt double. Keeping that hand in shape must take a lot of exercise. ;):D I imagine he had to read for the part....who did he beat out! :shock: The hand double for Good Will Hunting?

  4. Just when you think airport food is bad!.....This reminds me of a Christmas email:

    RE: Christmas Party

    I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will

    take place on December 21, starting at noon in the private function room

    at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We'll

    have a small band playing traditional carols...feel free to sing along.

    And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A

    Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00pm. Exchange of gifts among employees

    can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make

    the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets. This gathering is only

    for employees!

    Our CEO will make a special announcement at that time!

    Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    RE: Holiday Party

    In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish

    employees. We recognize that Hanukah is an important holiday, which

    often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year.

    However, from now on we're calling it our ' Holiday Party.' The same policy

    applies to any other employees who are not Christians or those still

    celebrating Reconciliation Day. There will be no Christmas tree present.

    No Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your

    enjoyment.

    Happy now?

    Happy Holidays to you and your family.

    RE: Holiday Party

    Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics

    Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table ... you didn't sign your name.

    I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table

    that reads, 'AA Only'; you wouldn't be anonymous anymore. How am I

    supposed to handle this?

    Somebody?

    Forget about the gifts exchange, no gifts exchange are allowed

    since the union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and

    executives believe $10.00 is a little chintzy.

    NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

    RE: Holiday Party

    What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20

    begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and

    drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can

    appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our

    Muslim employees' beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on

    serving your meal until the end of the party- or else package everything

    for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy. Will that work?

    Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit

    farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table

    closest to the restrooms.

    Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to

    sit with Gay men, each will have their own table. Yes, there will be

    flower arrangement for the Gay men's table.

    To the person asking permission to cross dress, no

    cross-dressing allowed though.

    We will have booster seats for short people.

    Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot

    control the salt used in the food we suggest for those people with high

    blood pressure to taste first. There will be fresh fruits as dessert for

    Diabetics, the restaurant cannot supply 'No Sugar' desserts. Sorry!

    Did I miss anything?!?!?

    RE: The F * cking Holiday Party

    Vegetarian pricks I've had it with you people!!! We're going to

    keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you

    can si t quietly at the table furthest from the 'grill of death,' as you

    so quaintly put it, and you'll get your f * cking salad bar, including

    organic tomatoes. But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream

    when you slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream

    right NOW!

    I hope you all have a rotten holiday! Drive drunk and die,

    The Bitch from H * LL!!!!!!!!

    RE: Patty Lewis and Holiday Party

    I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy

    recovery and I'll continue to forward your cards to her.

    In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday

    Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay.

    Happy Holidays!

  5. Merry Christmas to you as well Sanny and the rest of the forum.

    I did filet and chicken for a party last night (imaginary since I don't have pics). Christmas cooking is a turkey with Jiarby's brine....my first attempt. I have not been a fan of turkey in the past, but this brine has made me salivate.

  6. He BBQs bugs man....who wants to discuss tin foil. :eek::lol: Those ribs looked so good I'm not going to question technique.

    Dennis....if you get a chance, ask the butcher if that was Berkshire Pork, or one of the 'boutique' porks.. http://berkshirembonline.com/ ... http://www.boston.com/ae/food/articles/ ... of_flavor/ . Some of these non-production type porks are gaining a lot of poularity, but they are a little pricey.

    Primeats....i'm sure you are familiar with what I am talking about. I saw an article that some of the trendy restaurants are starting to include more pork on their menu from these lines. Supposed to be more like old time pork....bigger and not as lean I think.

  7. Several years ago when kiwi were not that common, I had purchased a few at the grocery store and the check-out guy asked me if I liked them because the outside was so hard to eat it made him choke! :lol::lol::lol:

    We had kiwi farms bordering our farm, and they pruned them hard every year. The trellis structures they would put in were very stout. Then when these guys can't make any money at it, they abandon those plantings and after a couple of years it looks like a jungle.

    Sanny...since I know you love the color blue, may I suggest a plumbego in place of the kiwi. It will not produce fruit, but it will produce a beautiful little blue flower most of the year. Mine are still flowering quite nicely. I will email pic if you want.

    Deej hasn't had to move or warn us of being off-topic for a few days now. But oh....let me tie it to BBQ....the kiwi wood will make good smoke wood Sanny! :eek::D
