There is one more picture that needs to be shared. Yup a very nerve wracking drive. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

This was the first time I had ever seen a KJ other than at a store. I was really surprised at how hot it was. Even when fully heat soaked for 2 or 3 hours in the 550* pizza range my KK's dome never felt that hot. I just didn't realize all this since I went from an Akorn to a KK. Of course I had to play with the KJ dome just to realize what I wasn't missing - LOL Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

TY Jon, I'm getting better with my point and shoot. One day I'm going to get a better camera with interchangeable lens. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Took me about 2 minutes thinking about this and now a few more ingredients made it onto the shopping list. I'm thinking shrimp. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Great looking cook. Chicken, lamb, shrimp ..... Many possibilities. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

No worries it will be an easy fix. Like I said, you can't permanently damage them. I'm just relieved it made the trip. A very nerve wracking drive. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Most excellent. Going to try this soon. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I was going to do a club sandwich but you beat me to the punch. Next I was thinking about trying a triple layer BBQ sandwich with pulled pork, pulled chicken, and beef (either pulled or brisket). I went so far as cooking the pork and chicken but in the end didn't like that idea. Then when I saw MacKenzie's egg in tomato sauce cook I knew where this was going.

TY MacKenzie - I'm a quick learner after my first failed attempt at a runny yolk. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

TY Rak, the egg in tomato sauce is yummy. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

TY tinyfish, coming up with a good idea was the hardest part of this challenge. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

This was actually caused by the dome slightly tilted and then sort of dragged across the surface it was sitting on about an inch or two. It's not a big split of the groute and the tiles and grout jacket remained intact. Would fresh groute pushed up in there fix this? My other thought was a JB Weld type fix like I did on mine. It is much less of a situation then I had. I have an extra small tube of black groute since I own two KK's. I was going to send him one of those as shipping from my house will only take a day or two and cost next to nothing. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Welcome, if you are here there is probably no turning back now. I hope what I sent you in the pm reply helps a little. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Great looking burger - yummy. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

All these great sandwich posts lately. Sure glad you all are not posting in the Guru challenge. A few of us would be fighting to survive. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

That's a good looking alternative chicken cook. Will definitely give that a go. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I blame CC (ceramic chef) for mine. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I recognized that as a 16.5". I have one and love it. I use it more than my 19". Almost every time I fire up the 19" I also fire up the 16.5" to get a second temperature. There are plenty of nights where I get home late and just fire up the 16.5" for a quick cook. I know everyone is really happy with how fast a 23" will come to temp but the 16.5" is just faster and when I come home from work and only have a couple of hours to cook, eat, and shower before bed that extra fast Startup counts.

Great looking sandwich and great pictures. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I understand and one day I'll get one. But this cook wasn't about the perfect egg. This was just a really good tasting cook with the tomato sauce. I didn't need a perfect egg I just didn't want hard yellow yolks. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

There is one but just one. Dennis posted the picture. But after knowing how crazy hot I got my 19" that one time (and the basket didn't warp) the person with the warped basket tried extra hard at being stupid - LOL. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

That cracks me up. You are right it is a very famous KK. A lot of people have talked about it on the forum and on the phone with Dennis. That is a really great story you posted. I'm glad it's going to you. You're a great kamado chef and I'm confident you will put it to good use. More than happy to deliver it and help you set it up. Will be a fun day trip for me and Mrs skreef. On a side note: it really needed to leave my yard. If it would have sat there long enough I would have been tempted to buy it and I really don't need a third KK. You're basically doing me a favor. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I made this last night except I used Italian seasonings instead and added some mushrooms to the sauce. I served it with a small cheese crusted steak. Sort of a steak and eggs dinner. I really liked it and the flavors were fantastic. Unfortunately I overcooked the eggs for my liking. I want my eggs to have a runny or at most creamy yolk. These yolks were hard yellow. Both Hawke and Mrs skreef was happy with the yolks but I consider it a failure because of the yolks. It was an easy weeknight cook. I also forgot to take an in pan picture so I skipped pictures all the together. Will make this again soon so I can get some decent pictures with runny/creamy yolks.

Awesome pictures. Looks like a really good time. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
