That is a great video - really shows that gorgeous KK off. And the brisket looks yummy too. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

TY everyone - the shrimp was delicious. Never done a tomato marinade before - it won't be the last time. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I have a 19" TT and rotisserie. I use the rotisserie whenever I do whole chickens. Gyro rotisserie cooks are awesome too. I've done maybe 5 or 6 rotisserie cooks so far. I did replace my thumb screws with 5mm x 12mm Allen head bolts. Also if you want indirect with a drip pan you can get a small cookie sheet to sit on the lump handles. I also have a direct heat infrared diffuser. See my Gyro rotisserie improvement thread for those details. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

My taste buds are not a big fan of chilli but it always looks really good to my eyes. Keep trying with the eggs you'll hit the magic number eventually. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

The moose steak looks good but those cheesecakes are simply Droolicious. I'm still cussing at cheesecakes. Maybe I should just leave the baking to Mrs skreef. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

That is probably the one and only snow fall (if you can even call it that) that we will get all winter - knock on wood. That's the way to do it DaveyR - no point in letting a little snow stop the Q. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Dremel w/ cutoff wheel and less than 20 minutes. There's not much those cutoff wheels can't go through (haven't found anything yet). Here it is sitting on Cassiopeia's main grate. You can see the tab in the bottom right corner that I had to cutoff of the top left corner. It's a close fit left to right but works. This makes me very, very happy. I now have the smaller square one for Prometheus and the bigger rectangular one for Cassiopeia. I do want to get some baking steel but will probably just wait on Dennis to complete those fancy KK ones. Nice thing about these griddles is they have a small lip around them so if you're searing something with a bit of grease it doesn't run down into the KK. Since this is fitting in a 19" I'm fairly confident it would fit in a 23" without modification. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I just had to snap this early morning picture of the Bistro's big Winter Storm. Not even enough to gather up a snowball to throw at my son - LOL Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I have a couple of Lodge griddles. The small square one fits perfectly in Prometheus (16.5") The larger one is 16 3/4" x 9 5/8". The only thing keeping it from fitting on my 19" main grate is the grate handles. Looking and measuring carefully the Lodge griddles have two opposing corner tabs. If I cut one of those corner tabs off it should fit on Cassiopeia's (19") main grate. Will make the mod tomorrow and post a picture. I have a steak cook for tomorrow or Sunday night that would work great on the large Lodge griddle if I can make it work. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

One picture is worth a thousand words ............... Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Looking good Rak. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Great looking fish cook. I love my CI griddle and use it a few times weekly. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I measured the canning rack. It's about 12 1/4" so it would not work in the Vision P. Sorry. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Up higher it would still work as a direct heat diffuser and still burn any fat that dripped down where there are no unlit coals BUT ....... And it's a big but ...... It's main purpose was to use it for rotisserie cooks. Not sure about the bigger KK's but in the 19" it would only work during rotisserie cooks if it's down sitting on lump basket. I suspect the same holds true on the bigger KK's. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Nice little kamado. For a long time I owned an Akorn Jr (14" grate) that I took on vacations. I took it on my honeymoon at a cabin where I wooooed Mrs skreef with 4 nights of totally killer meals. Even took it to the beach once for cooking dogs and brats. Should have never gotten rid of that little kamado. Check out a SS canning rack sold at Walmart. You can take the arms off with a pair of pliers. Makes a great extender rack. I've even cooked a few things directly on it. When I get home I'll measure the one I have to see if it would fit in 10". Also cheap disposable pie pans should work for drip pans. You should be able to find them in a 8" version. I've cooked just about everything on that little kamado including a 7 lb butt. The scarey faces picture (in the baking thread) was cooked on it. I owned two of them but sold them to help fund the KK's. I was going to get a Primo Oval Jr with travel cradle to take on vacations but ended up pulling the trigger on Cassiopeia instead. I still want an oval Jr for travel but I doubt Mrs skreef will go for that idea. Might just have to take Prometheus on vacation one day - very heavy but I think me and my son could manage it.

You'd be good to go as long as you don't go the my kamado is better than your kamado route. New members join every day and they are welcomed with open arms. Some of those members enter the challenge. Guru is a probably one of the most accepting bbq forums out there. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Nice looking veggie burger. I hear what you all are saying about taking the food porn. It took my family (mostly my son) a good long time to quit complaining about the food porn. Now he realizes the complaining doesn't get him anywhere so he just rolls with it. As for the picture quality that just comes with practice. I look at my pictures from a year or two ago and realize how bad they sucked. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Just snap them with the phone - your a good enough cook your skills will help make up for crappy pictures. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Yup I have a simple point and shoot android camera. Two simple lamps with daylight bulbs really helps. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

You enter anyway - who really cares who wins - it's all about pushing yourself. I think you would do better than you think you would - OK say that three times really fast - LOL. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I'll be honest I'm a little disappointed in the Canadian crew. In your time of need you have to wait 3 days until Friday? That's just wrong. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Yay - I know he's excited - is the weather cooperating? - can't wait to see some pictures. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Tel-tru thermometers are know as high end thermometers. The other kamado brands don't use Tel-tru's. I post a fair number of pictures of my temperature and the Tel-tru logo is clear in those pictures which implies the little things that make KK's the best kamado on the market. If I was designing the logo for the thermometer I would put Komodo Kamado in an arch at the top under the scale and Tel-tru in a straight line at the bottom. That implies Dennis spent the extra time and money to get a custom run of high end thermometers. Best of both worlds. A little extra branding is not going to hurt in my mind.
