  1. Good change. People looking up different forums on tapatalk should have a better understanding of what they are looking at now. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  2. Nice pizza. Those ingredients were making my mouth water. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  3. That's about the same weight rating that we all have in the states. I would call or email them and make sure it uses anti backlash gears. Without anti backlash gears your food will flop and stall. That one review would have you believing so but I'd check with the company just to make sure. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  4. Great looking grill and fantastic pictures. Can't wait to see some more cook pictures. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  5. What I really want is double the chicken. Hot pepper and rice is good to go - LOL Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  6. Nice, just double that serving size - LOL Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  7. . . We thought about putting the hose to it but it's supposed to rain tonight so that seemed like a waste of effort. It'll take a month or two (depending on the rain) for all the stones to really settle down good. We might have to lift some along the way to add a little sand underneath. These are flat field stones so they are a bit irregular in their thickness. We'll probably also have to add more top sand as it settles. Eventually it'll get right.

  8. Gave up riding the bike today so me and Mrs skreef could work on the herb garden (my son even helped a bit). Got a good chunk of the ground stones laid. . . Started buy removing the grass layer and then another inch or so of dirt. Put down a layer of red sand then laid the stones down into the red sand. Work them in as best as possible. . . . . Next threw a bunch of my better sand all over the place. . . . . Using a big shop broom I sweep the sand off the rocks to fill the space between the rocks. Now all we have to do is sit back and let rain do its magic - that and finish laying the rest of the stones - LOL. . Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  9. Swai fish, cedar wrapped then coconut crusted with a lime Buerre Blanc Sauce. Served over Jasmin rice with Prosciutto wrapped asparagus. This is a really crappy money shot. I didn't even want to post it but I had no other pictures that showed the coconut crust. This was an outstanding meal all around. I really like the Prosciutto wrapped asparagus. One of my best asparagus cooks to date. Wrapping in Prosciutto is much better than bacon. Bacon takes too long to crisp up so the asparagus gets well done. Prosciutto cooks much quicker so the asparagus stays more tender. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  10. Nice. I like the use of the Wok for deep frying. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  11. Currently I'm getting an email notification anytime, anybody posts in any thread. I'm not subscribed to anything. I did check my tapatalk notification settings and they all look good. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  12. Keep in mind the casters are none locking. I would suggest getting little plastic wedges (cschaaf bought some) and put one under each caster. Would hate for a guest to accidentally knock into the KK and it rolls over the edge. Yea it's a long shot that it would ever happen but for a few dollars it's good insurance against a freak accident.

  13. Yea me too. Sort of sucks. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  14. Good post Wilburpan. I'm sort of the opposite of you. I use to make everything from scratch. I would look up my idea on the Internet and go from there. I still usually do that on the weekends but more and more I find myself using pre-made marinades and rubs especially on weeknights. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  15. Very nice. Hard to resist firing it up. You could say I'm partial to Tera Blue. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  16. Usually where the packet gravy is. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  17. It was very tasty. Glad this basic idea got posted. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  18. For those who haven't tried these yet. McCormick makes a bunch of different seasonings and marinades that come in a single use packet. They are cheap and the marinades only require you to add oil, water and vinegar with other substitution ideas possible. . This is only a selection of the flavors they have. I haven't tried one yet I didn't like. Gives a nice flavor boost especially on the fast weeknight cooks where there just isn't time for a more involved recipe. . If you haven't already give them a try. . . . . . Last night we made Smokey Ranchero pork chops. First time trying that one and Grill Mates scores again. Used 1/2 to marinate the chops for an hour in the fridge. Did a direct fast, hot sear followed by indirect at about 325*. Used the second half of the marinade to baste the chops along the way. Another easy and fast weeknight cook. . Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  19. Looks good. Interesting that you tied 2 points together. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  20. Yea that's the exact problem. For now I'll just put a period everytime I want a blank line. Like this. . Sort of a pain in the rear but it bothers me to read my own posts with the paragraphs all scrunched together. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  21. Here is my version. . Slits stuffed with a Ricotta and Italian sausage mixture. Coated with oil and Italian seasonings then cooked on the KK. Once done I added some tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese then into the broiler for a few moments to melt the cheese. . Enough said... . . . . . Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  22. TY Rak - this is all going to be raised beds or large planters. I live out in the country so I'm scared to actually plant in the ground - not interested in feeding various critters. This is really Mrs skreef's project. I have a very wilted thumb but she's got a green thumb. Should be interesting. BTW that is actually in our front yard (front porch). The house sits facing North, North East so we get nice direct sun until about noon when in the summer days it's still fairly cool. As long as nothing needs full shade we should be good to go. . If you get a garden going please share pictures. We had to start now as the days are in the mid 70's and within a few weeks it won't go below 40* at night.

    Pizza

    Very tasty looking pizza. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  24. I would rather paint it now and the fence itself would probably take the paint buy the poles are still very fresh and should be allowed to dry for a month or two. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
  25. Nice looking fish. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
