  1. If you all promise to keep a secret - it actually tasted pretty good. Just not my kind of meal but it worked in a pinch.
  2. First time I've ever had it. Not to bad. It's a very hard root vegetable almost the size of a softball that needs to be peeled and cut up with a fairly long cook time. From what Mrs skreef tells it's more like a turnip. It starts out white/yellow and as it finishes cooking it turns a light orange color. Both me and my son thought it needed a little sweetness to the cook. Next time I do one I'm going to cut it up about the size of baby carrots. I'll cook them along with some baby carrots with rosemary and a touch of honey
  3. Hmmmm don't know about this but here goes .......... Brats and dogs. Johnsonville brat on a grilled brat bun topped with fried onions/sweet peppers/garlic/touch of soy sauce and some homemade summer slaw (vinegar based). Baked beans, Ruffles have ridges and some French onion dip. I post the pictures then hang my head in shame - LOL
  4. Great chicken pot pie. I love chicken pot pie.

    First Brisket

    Great looking brisket. Awesome cook. Will try something like that next time I do a brisket.
  6. Good idea - that is why I decided to set them up on blocks first so I could get a real world idea of the dimensions. I was just going to put a shelf under each stand and stack the grates but your idea makes so much more sense. I'm only marginally acceptable with my wood working skills but I should be able to make something reasonably nice and functional. Your Bible box looks really nice. Way better than my skill set but here is probably the top of my skills - A picture frame curio to hold a few fossils. Made out of various pine molding pieces. I used "Antique Brass" hardware to make up for my lack of skills but I did do a dowl pined hinge. Fortunately the fossils are kewl enough nobody is really looking at the frame - LOL.

    Beef Tenderloin

    That slider sure looks like a mouth full.
  8. Yummy looking breakfast.
  9. Nice looking wings but the steaks are gorgeous.
  10. Great looking ribs for sure
  11. Definitely have been thinking about this since I saw the post on Guru. Going to incorporate an idea like this for the 2 KK stands. Because of the height differences and since I want both dome hinge lines at the same height ...... I could store Cassiopeia grates under Prometheus and visa versa. Glad I didn't start that project this weekend. Your post was great timing.
  12. Yea but can you do dishes and cleanup? There are two types of people in my house - those who cook and those who clean. Unless your name is ckreef - he cooks but never cleans even when he doesn't cook. Mrs skreef asks, "How is that fair?" "All is fair in love and food!", by my rules anyway - LOL
  13. OK here it is. Dinner was fantastic. Not sure if spinning this kind of cook helped any but it didn't hurt. This was a duel cook, both Cassiopeia and Prometheus along with both me and Mrs skreef. I did the pork she did the rutabaga and Buns. First time I've had rutabaga, it won't be the last. Enjoy ..............
  14. Just a little longer. Buns about to go on Cassiopeia. Our normal dinner time is 8:00 pm EST so dinner is basically on schedule. But MacKenzie you did notice the nice black pantina on Prometheus?
  15. Rutabaga going on Prometheus while the pork is resting in a cooler and the homemade buns are rising
  16. I did bump the temp up to 300*. It's now at 9 hours. IT right at 200* but not probe tender throughout. Will give it another 30 minutes.
  17. Nice looking cook.
  18. That cracked me up. Not quite the inner black perfection Prometheus is at but, yes I agree, coming along.
  19. Here is the temp at the 4 hour mark - nice and steady 225* A quick peak at a little over 5 hours. IT somewhere around 150*. Hard to really see because my old school thermometer has fogged up. No worries it still has a few hours to go. I think I'm going to bump the temp up a little because I really want to eat this for dinner. More pictures to follow. Yes I got in on the Meater. Got in early when it was right at $60,000 I'm hoping for the best with that. That should solve the rotisserie temp problem. This cook marks the end of my first box of CoffeeChar. So far I really like it. I have yet to clean the ash out of the 19". I only have 1 more box of CoffeeChar left. It'll be a sad day coming up when I run out.
  20. Really great looking bacon. Looks even more tasty then the Canadian bacon. One of these days .....................
  21. A baby hog ham rubbed and loaded in the basket. Started spinning at 8:00 am with CoffeeChar and a few chunks of apple wood. Small cookie sheet as a drip pan. Temp right around 220*. Will take a peak and picture at the 4 hour mark.
  22. Great looking meal. After looking at that I need to go eat breakfast - I'm hungry - LOL

    Bowl Of Bones

    Funny about this cook ....... I thought it was one of the better tasting meals in the last few weeks - yummy Mrs skreef wasn't happy with the flavor but she's not a big fan of ginger and there was a lot of ginger in this cook. My son liked it but there wasn't enough meat on the beef rib bites for him - I agree - he can a truck full of food so almost everything is not enough for him. Oh well can't please everyone all the time but I sure left the table with a huge smile - LOL
  24. The cherry chocolate winns hands down with my eyes closed.
  25. I have to agree with this. I'm not even willing to try. As for low country boil - in a pressure cooker - sounds more like a northern city boil to me. I think you missed the idea of a low country boil - more to do with the cook than the finished product.
