Welcome aboard. In general it does seem to be a guy thing. The whole cooking outside and cooking with fire. This forum has a higher than normal percent of women who cook on kamados. MacKenzie, PRippley, and skreef. I know in Mrs skreef's case she wouldn't be cooking on a kamado if I would have gotten one of the big 3 ceramic Kamados just because of the shear weight of the dome. With KK's there is no effort in opening them so they are not very intimidating. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I'm passing the phone to Mrs skreef - never know she might get somewhere with Mrs skreef, she has a much softer heart then mine. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Yea that might get me off the hook - LOL Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I like playing with software like this. It's a really easy program/app now that I've figured it out. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

The upper rack is kewl, it sits on the main rack, but how useful it is might depend on your dome height. A lot of the newer KK's have a high capacity dome which makes the upper rack way more useful. You really should talk to Dennis about this. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Yummy. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I get baby wild hogs from time to time. Last one I got I butchered it up. I cut off what would be the 2 Boston butts as a whole piece. 2 shoulders, 2 hams, then stripped out the loins and tenderloins. At that point you can cook as you would if you had store bought. Brining might help take away the gamey taste but in the approximately 60 lb babies I've gotten there really wasn't a gamey taste. Look under my profile you should be able to find my thread where I did the butchering. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Looks good. Crack one open we want to see the inside (that's where the money is with an English muffin.) Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Was playing around with Mrs skreef's carrot cake pictures. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

You'll have to get that past Mrs skreef - good luck with that endeavor - LOL Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Was playing around today. Might even start doing my menus again since I could now easily do them on the tablet. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Go mostly CoffeeChar - I should have maxed out on CoffeeChar. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

There is another great post on the Guru from a long time member who makes a lot of sausage. He created a PDF document as a general guide for sausage making. Anyway here is a link to that post which has the PDF download. http://www.kamadoguru.com/index.php?/topic/25670-The-‘Smokehowze’-Sausage-Making-&-Charcuterie-Guide-On-Information,-Equipment,-Materials-&-Supplies#entry342546 Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Very kewl pictures. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

You won't find a big change in technique other than learning the vents. Kamado cooking is still kamado cooking although KK's are rock solid with temperature control. I very often set it and forget it. Even leave the house for a few hours while it's going low-n-slow and this is with the KK's on my front porch (wooden deck attached to the house), I never worry about it.

I think you got it covered. You should be set to go. Very excited for you. Tell Aashni I said sorry but I was routing for her. Maybe one day in the future you could do a pink and purple 16.5" Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

A little late on my own post. I'll try that recipe next time. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Really great looking Stew. Love the dumplings. Can you post the dumplings recipe? When I make them I do a Bisquick recipe but I'm always open to try new recipes. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

LOL - that might have been it. I made sure my piece was heavy on the frosting. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

I sort of laughed when I got it in the mail. They were supposed to arrive before Christmas so you could give the card as a gift letting the recipient know they had a Meater coming in the future. A little late for that purpose but better late than never. I feel that is what's happening with the actual units. But they will also be welcomed as better late than never.

If you are on a pc do a reply - you might have to do the more reply options on the reply. There should be an area at the bottom that allows you to attach files. Choose your file. Then press the attach this file button. Once it's uploaded put your cursor where you want the picture the press Add to Post button.

I think I could wait if waiting meant that gooey runny yolk. Fantastic. You all are going to talk me into a SV if for nothing more than the gooey runny yolk. I'd like to try the shaved yolk too. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

Great names. Good times back in the day. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

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

We definitely want to see pictures. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
