@tony b - +1^ That's some wonderful looking bacon.

@Garvinque - yeah! They are pretty good and I'll eat them every chance I get IF there aren't any Schwab's around. Schwab;s tend to be a bit spicier, at least to me, and I like spicy. I was weaned on Tabasco Sauce.

@Stile88 - I have a thing for great hot links and these are about as good as it gets. I buy 'em by the case and they are simply wonderful! They keep well in the freezer.

Thanks, @MacKenzie. You are the epitome of gracious.

A $47 Caviar taco? Are you freakin' kidding me? I'll eat that when pigs sprout wings and fly to the moon! Champagne with tacos? This is one sad situation for $47! I can eat a $2.75 taco. In fact, I have on many an occasion, especially in College Station, TX when I was in grad school. Great tacos down there. What's with NO BEER? I'll eat until I founder on $1 taco truck tacos. Still ... NO BEER!? How do you road-trip, eat tacos, and never down a beer?

As a matter of fact, I did burn some Fogo! I am pleasantly surprised that when I came back to OKC and went into my favorite BBQ shop I was met with Fogo in the store. I talked to them about it and they absolutely LOVE the product. They have carried Fogo for about the last 5-6 months. They are the only outlet in Oklahoma.

Here is a link to their website. They have a wide variety of products from which to choose. I'll say this: Schwab's meats are first rate and I have never had a bad product.

Thanks, @Bruce Pearson. It's really good to be home and back with my KK Family.

Well KKers, I finally fired up Beauty the other day after quite an absence. I'm trying to rebuild my pantry after an extended absence from home. I've really missed cooking on the KKs sitting on the patio. All I had in the freezer was a box of Schwabs Hot Links. Schwabs is a local company that produces a superior range of products. So, without further delay, here is the first cook on a KK in about 7-8 months!

@skreef - I see you are still rocking' the deserts! That recipe does give one the drools. All the best to you and Charles!

Lamb isn't a staple of the American diet. I'll occasionally bone out a leg of lamb or throw a rack on the grill, and every time I eat good lamb I always wonder why I don't do lamb more often. Finding good lamb in most meat markets is nigh on impossible. I think one of the problems is that not much lamb is raised in The States.

There is a reason I choose to live smack dab in the middle of the country. I live way under my means. My brother lives in north east OK and has a home that exceeds the last "mansion" and he paid way under $10 mil for it. What those guys call closets I call phone booths. Not one of my exes could make do with anything that small ! Closets!? HA!

Beautiful cook! Congrats on a sumptuous cook.

Not a CostCo here in Oklahoma (YET!) because of our antiquated liquor laws. Can't get refrigerated high point beer, wines, etc. However, we just passed laws that will allow for such in the near future. I've heard of Kirkland from friends in TX. Looking forward to trying it soon.

And that Sports Fans is exactly why KK has the reputation it has! People ask me how I could spend so much on a cooker and I tell them "Two Words: Dennis Linkletter." That ends the conversation. Thanks, Dennis!

Right now I'm a KK purist and frankly, I see no reason to expand my horizons. What do I gain by putting something else on my patio? After all, our KKs are unparalleled at baking, smoking, roasting, grilling, low & slow, etc. It would just be a duplication of function for me to add another piece of equipment to my patio.

I don't know why, but I never even thought of a jerked butt. Maybe it's time I start being a bit more unconventional and think a little outside the box. Let's do a little fusion cuisine! Sounds like a good idea. Thanks, @Garvinque!

I'll just take the Vodka, thanks! I've lost 40 pounds in the past year and all that grease just means I'll have to let my belt out another notch! No thanks! Hey, anyone here try a relatively new vodka ... Tito's vodka. It's out of Austin, TX and is one of the best values in vodka I've run across. You can spend a lot more for Great Goose, etc. but when all is said and done, Tito's is my go to. Cheers!

Ditto. +1^^

Good stuff, @primeats.

BIG Bro and Little Sis? I really do like that pebble finish. CONGRATS!

Yeah! What he said ^.

Sounds mighty toast.y! Thanks!

Yeah, @Shuley, what he said! +1^ Beautiful cooks.
